SABA, railway property, Penalty Notice to OWNER

Deborah has such a lovely signature, so I'm sure she's a great person. Shame about Tim though. I wonder if his signature is, er, a bit faded...

The "We are surprised that this matter remains unresolved" line always makes me laugh - ZZPS are debt collectors, every single case sent their way is unresolved.

Yeah, and on reflection, I've changed my mind about Deborah. She's too passive-aggressive for me.

Ooohhhh...




I followed your instructions and had a giggle.

I'm curious about how you'd wind them up! I'm sure it would be at least as amusing as GCCT's footer.


I've also sent the following to DVLA:

"Dear Data Assurance Team,

I have yet to receive a response to my previous email (dated 12/8/25) escalating my complaint to Step 2 of the DVLA complaints process.

Six weeks plus without any response appears unfortunate. However, if you consider that this is not unacceptable I would appreciate some indication of the timeframe to respond that you aim to achieve.

Yours faithfully,"

I fear some of the lovely Deborah's passive-aggressive-ness has rubbed off onto me    

Consider that letter as free hamster bedding if you shred it finely enough.

Think about it... "transfer to solicitors". What does that mean? Are they really going to try and sue a county court claim under civil contract law for a Penalty Notice issued under statutory railway byelaws which is a criminal matter which can only be heard in a magistrate's court?

Just sit back and enjoy the farce that is unfolding.

Oh, I am, thanks to your guidance and explanations 👍👍

This looks suspiciously like a 'nuffin, to do with us, guv - go and rattle someone elses's cage.'

And the bit at the top of the second page seems to me that it's not supposed to be for my eyes
