What a Joke - Penalty Notice

[.Bishbash.]

Well this will be fun to sort out

Got sent this through the post to my old address telling me I drove through a bus lane and have a penalty charge notice...hahaha;

So what's wrong with this you ask?

Here's a clue;

https://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r94/Neileng/Picture033.jpg

a) I dont own that van
b)I dont have a driving license
c)I have not been driving in Liverpool

AND d)here's the best part, do a Google search on that reg number and you will find out.

I bet I know which bus lane it is in Liverpool as well, the bastard gets thousands upon thousands a year cos it's poorly signed and you used to be able to drive down the road its on, now you have to go round a ridiculous one way system. That's what we get for having a transport planner who doesn't even have a driving licence.

Anyway, it's not you, so that's kind of irrelevant haha, rant over. Some major balls up in the system there then hey!

I did google the reg but I don't get it, nothing really comes up - is it GN04 AWR?

I just laughed so hard I sharted.

Send them back a photograph of your bike with the plate and demand £90 off them for being pricks.

Google GN04 AWR registration. That'll give you a good clue.

It should be on a KTM, does that photo actually show GN or GM though?

Worryingly, if that photo does actually say GN, it may be worth you speaking to the police?

:edit:

Just searched BCF, and that is pretty stupid, but why would somebody but a bike reg onto a car?

Explained now though! Wow, who would be silly enough to put a bike plate on a van?! You'd at least go nick the plate off the same van , there's blinkin loads of em!

Yup that's right Map, that's the thread.

The reg number on the photo and on the paperwork is a spot on match for the Stolen KTM.

No idea why they would use that reg number as a fake plate, pretty stupid to be honest. What shocks me is that it's not been picked up before.

Sadly I have to sort this out to why I am the registered owner as I had the payout for this bike and get this fine off my back. Anything past that I really don't care about.

So someone robbed your bike and the plates and put it on a van?
Maybe your bikes in the back of it

I'd report this to popo, seriously

I assume you reported the KTM stolen?

If not... its cheap insurance for the van Get insurance on KTM, ~£200, cheap tax...anpr won't bat an eyelid... MOT time however... So I expect owner of van to have access to MOT centre or bike

If that van is insured (you're not supposed to use askmid if it's not yours are you!) only reason(s) I can think of if is (1) DVLA have re-issued the number and it's been purchased as some sort of private plate. Or (2) it's part of a stolen vehicle reselling scam (DVLA are issuing red V5C forms to replace blue ones because a lot of blank blue were stolen) and the buyer/driver/owner is just a patsy.

Still doesn't explain why insurance company didn't update records correctly. Oh, wait, silly me, it's an insurance company

Yeah looks like I might have to, don't really want this to keep happening.

Here's a question though, when an insurance company pays out on a stolen vehicle, are they not suppose to get the V5 re-issued to them? I sent them the keys, and docs for the claim as they asked.

Quite possible they have resold the reg again, but unlikely as i am still on their systems as the owner. Another case of a DVLA failure or the insurance companies failure. Got to find that info now as well. Not even sure I have that.

[yaigi]

[.Bishbash.]

Crazy huh! So it looks like all these Police Camera Action shows could be classed as propaganda type shows

[P.addy]

[.Bishbash.]

What the hell,

It doesn't flag as stolen?

Yeah I called the police about 10 mins after, insurance company wouldn't pay out without the police crime number.

WTF is going on!

[P.addy]

Only the police would have a stolen vehicle marker I believe.

This is just DVLA, they do not need another box for manual data entry, trust me.

[Suntan Sid]

Go to the press, and hope they pour some scorn on the DVLA and all the other "agencies" involved!
Send a copy to your MP and tell him/her to sort it, might drop someone in the doo doo!
