On a technicality (apart from the date), updating your driving licence will have been irrelevant, it’s the V5C document which connects your car to your address. Or the V5C is still incorrect, but DCBL has traced you by other means.

In general, ignore and do not contact DCBL in any way, but the PCNs you received will be relevant, please post here.

The rules covering your partner’s address may also be important, is it rented and what does the lease say about parking if so? This is important because the lease will trump any secondary arrangements.

Sorry yes December 2024.

I am yet to update the V5C. I havent received any PCN as i think they may have been going to the previous address on the DL. Should i email UKPC to find out how many and where those PCN were posted to? Or try access the mail from my old address which is miles away from my current address? All abit messy i know!

My patner doesnt drive so he has no allocated parking at the premise. I only found out about the permit after asking his landlord about the parking rules when i started getting the debt recovery charges.

So my question really is
How do i find out how many more tickets i have and how do i somehow settle this?

By failing to update your V5C in a timely manner, you run the risk of a real "penalty" of up to £1,000. Get your priorities and understanding right!

I have updated my V5C and sent a subject access request and data rectification notice to DPO at UK parking control services.

I have since received the following email:

Thank you for your email.

I am in receipt of your request under Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulations 2018 (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 for the personal data which we hold in relation to the above Parking Charge. However, before we can process your request, we must comply with our Data Protection Policy and guidelines from the DVLA ensuring that only the driver or registered keeper are sent information in relation to the Parking Charge.
 
Unfortunately, we are unable to process your enquiry due to you not providing one of the following:

After consultation with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) we can request further documentary evidence to confirm the identity of the requester of the information we hold. Therefore, we ask if you would confirm if you were the driver/registered keeper of the vehicle at the date of the Parking Charge and submit ID evidence (Driving licence/passport) which confirms your details and signature.
 
Emails sent as requests for data release can only be actioned if a signed letter and ID as above are attached to the email.
 
If you are able to provide all of the above, we will be able to look into your enquiry and advise you accordingly.

Shall I just proceed with sending my driving license details as requested.

I didn’t receive any NtK.just started getting debt recovery letters and now have 5 of them already. Can I send one of them?

I now have a high enforcement officer at my house today while I was away who dropped off a letter saying to contact them to discuss reason for attendance and avoid further escalation and that they would return to collect my car Monday..
I just never received any letters and now I take it’s too late to do anything?

I have attached the letter.. I have called the officer and was adamant debt needed paid. I just never received any parking notices pertaining to this parking offence. As I have parked in the same area a few times unaware it was permitted only I now have other debt recovery charges from UKPC that have also just arrived since I moved address and updated my address details. Please advice if I can appeal all charges..
