Getting NIPs for a mystery car registered in my name

[Dog Star]

It's nothing like my car; it's a completely random vehicle. There's been no issue or complication - the police have told me to not even bother responding to the NIPs now.

I cannot understand why I have no V5.

Because there is a postal redirect for Mr Asianname@Your address in place? Wild speculation

A postal redirection will have a printed sticker of your address stuck over the original address. To get a postal redirect, you need a photographic ID plus a utility bill. So I doubt it is a redirect.

I'd write back to the issuing authority / authorities straightaway and tell them this is not (and never has been) your vehicle and you are unaware who was driving it on the dates and times specified.

Cut out the bit after 'vehicle'.

[quote=Who me ?]In the meantime- ( possibly what OP should have done when first NIP arrived ) is to fix something to front and rear windows of car ( PH STICKER?)to make his car different from same make & colour models.

How does he put stickers on a car he's never even seen, let alone had on his drive?

Great advice if the car in question was a stolen car on cloned plates. Unfortunately it isn't, it's a car registered to the OP that he knows nothing about as it isn't his.

A friend of mine had his plates cloned and his car was being used in armed robberies. He was told to send photos of his car to the police force and they confirmed it was a different car as the wheels were different. He got a letter from Police to keep in the car and also a crime reference number.

He was worried about morning callers with big keys but it never happened. Probably because he informed everyone of the situation and there were markers on the PNC for his cars and address.

If you set up the mail redirect via the royal mail website you don't need to show anything at all.

Explain (in detail, don't point to a website, I have read that)
