I've now had the first letter from DCBL regarding my PCN. Just a reminder that this was parking was paid for and they have had the recipt and picture of signage to confirm yet it has still got this far despite replies as per advice from here. They also cancelled 2 PCNs from the same week in identical circumstances but continued with this one

I still don't have an address or contact number for trader that bought my car but DVLA have since updated their system and car was removed from my ownership but only from when notified and not prior to these PCNs. I forwarded the PCNs via Facebook Messenger to the buyer of the car. He paid both and I had confirmations so I thought it was over. Had this letter in the post this week so now need advice on best response? I'm unsure if Secure PArking believe I made the fraudulent payment. ]]

First response in the inbox …..Good Afternoon,Please provide the details of the driver in order to transfer liability by sending an email to abeera@sipcarparks.co.uk.We will continue to pursue the named registered keeper under POFA section 4.Kind Regards,AbeeraSIP Car Parks

Thanks B789. Both emailed with as much proof as I can give them

This is where I made a rookie mistake. Transfer of funds; - Car was  paid for in cash - I did pay most of it in to my bank account at the post office over the counter (up to the limit I was allowed) and then the rest into my account at the bank branch a few days later.  Valuation of your car; - I removed the advert from Marketplace on same day the car was collected. Amount paid was certainly a trade price relative to the condition of the vehicleCancellation of VED; - Can't do this without the V5 changing keeper so I have paid for the VED by direct debit at beginning of October and if not sorted will get caught for November as well. Cancellation of insurance; - This was done online as soon as the car was out of my drivewayBill of Sale; - Only an email sent at the time the vehicle was being collected stating sale amount and reg number. New owner's details. - Only have name and email address - Full details were written on the V5 ready for me to do on DVLA website but as he took it with him, I do not know them

On 14th September 2025 I sold a car to a motor trader and through Facebook Marketplace so I only have their name from Facebook and an email address as I emailed him a receipt for the car at the time. Car was collected on a Sunday evening when the DVLA system won't allow online change of keeper. The trader filled in the yellow section for me but after he had gone, I noticed that the whole V5 had been taken by him - unsure if accidentally or not. I have sent messages asking him to update DVLA through Facebook and email but had no response.I wrote to DVLA on 26th September to inform them of the situation with all the details that I have. I've now had 2 seperate NTKs for different alleged contraventions. As I do not know new keepers details, is there anything I need to do? I am out of the country from 16-31st Oct so will not be able to deal with anything that arrives through the post in that period.

Done. Thanks again b789

Thank you again b789. Edited to our details and replied to them. Your wording was more polite than my own might have been. Is there anywhere to make a donation towards the running costs of the website?

After replying to CPP using b789's template, I have today received the following letter. We have plenty of time to keep going and knowing that we had paid, displayed blue badge etc, we would happily go to court if it gets that far. Also knowing that they backed down at the POPLA stage on our other 2 identical cases in the same week would make me assume they have set a precedent for themselves. Do we just ignore this now until something else lands on the doormat?

Thank you for clarification. Will do that now.

One more question ....I have used the above from b789 and added the Reference number, location, date and keeper details. Can I just upload that to the portal or do I have to use the reply form as well? I would not do anymore than tick box D to dispute it. Thanks

b789 - Thank you very much for taking the time to reply in detail. Copy of the LBCCC here....

You pay at a terminal before returning to the car. Enter reg number and a picture of vehicle shows on screens and it asks you to confirm that it is the correct vehicle. There are images of the car entering and leaving the Disabled Blue Badge only car park at the stated times so they are fully aware of where we were parked. The wording from the sign in my first post is taken from the sign in full - copy and pasted from the photograph of the sign. Nowhere does it say that you Must obtain free parking by registering but it certainly does say that you have to enter your registration number and pay at a teminal if you haven't registered for free parking.
