Northants £cammers Retraction - Erronous DVLA Data
Discussion
Interesting scenario with another friend whos been scammed in recent weeks, only this time there is a real scam going on here.
He receieved a NIP for 36 :yikes: in 30 only he never drives further than Dorset & the car details are simply not his nor a car he's ever owned. :scratchchin:
So his wife sends a letter in, a few days later they get a phone call from the scam cashing in dept &..........
They'll let it pass!!!!!!!! nothing more than a letter & a phone call. Seems they realise there is a lot of this going on.
Though why on earth someone is driving around in a car registered in my friends name is very very strange & a bit worrying.

To understand exactly what you are saying.
Was the VRN the same as your friend's car, but a different model etc. Alternatively, reading your post literally, a different car with different VRN, but just registered in your friend's name and address.
I can see how the first one works with cloned plates, but not the second.
What heppens to all the erroneous DVLA mail that your friend should get? V5C upon change of ownership, tax/sorn reminder and so on?
To be honest the cloned plate issue always worries me if they pick make, model, colour correctly. Difficult enough to prove innocence if NoIP from an area never / rarely visited, almost impossible if from roughly same general area.

Right someone needs to speak to DVLA pronto imo. Depending upon what this enquiry reveals, especially concerning date registered in friend's name. If timing is such that friend should have had documentation from DVLA direct to door by now then something is very very fishy.
:Wonders: Is there something very stinky going on within DVLA?
Head over to your local nick and discuss with plod.

Its entirely possible. Some utter
was prosecuted for handing over home addresses of scientists last year when Animal Liberation protestors noted down their car registrations. Someone working in the DVLA could certainly make a few bob on the side helping with "fictitious" records...
Whilst I suspect the vast majority of DVLA workers are scrupulously honest and diligent it would not be the first time that a government department has been infiltrated by scum.
