VCS PCN - NTK - Nicol Street, Kirkcaldy Scotland KY11 1NY

[mcnato]

Good morning

 

Before I ignore the letter and await the raft of future letters,

can I just ask,

if in light of the Transport (Scotland) Bill 2019, is there still no requirement for the Registered Keeper to identify the driver? 

 

Other things where I believe VCS Ltd haven't helped themselves are:

 

Date of contravention was early Sep,

they issued it mid Sep and

I as the Registered Keeper received it 01 Oct. 

Longer than 14 days from date of contravention to issue date and definitely longer than 14 days from contravention to the NTK letter. 

Contravention happened at night so no windscreen ticket.

 

The post code used in the letter for address of the car park is different to the one used to identify the car park on the signs at the car park

 

Signs at the car park mention Excel but the NTK is from VCS (I understand that the two are linked. 

A sign says 'you, the driver are entering into a contract with VCS'

hence the query about any change for the Registered Keeper having to legally identify thr driver.

 

Cheers

Thanks FTMDave

 

I've not replied to them at all, as I've just received the PCN in the post. 

 

I have already photographed the sign at the entrance which says Excel and the one at the ticket machine that says you, the driver, agree to entering a contract with VCS (although there is an Excel logo on it as well)

 

Apologies the post code for the car park is KY1 1NY in Kirkcaldy

Thanks dx100uk

 

I had a read over those threads, but just wanted to check to the Registered Keeper bit as I know they can bring bits of an Act in and not all of it.  Many thanks for your help.

 

Cheers

[mcnato]

Just in case it helps you/anyone.  This is the sign at the entrance.

And this is the one at the ticket machine

[mcnato]

Thanks for all those points lookinforinfo

 

Although I can assure you I am not worried.  Just checking if there'd been any update on the Registered Keeper thing. I look forward to reading their letters and filing them for posterity. 

 

Apologies dx100uk

 

The sign images were just an afterthought in case they may be useful.

Just an update to this, I received a letter (Demand for payment before Court Action) from a solicitors in Glasgow.  They state they've been instructed to raise sheriff court proceedings if the payment (£100 PCN plus £60 debt recovery fee) is not paid in 7 days from the latter date.  Funnily enough, they used the Carly Mackie case as a reference.  Is this the time for a snotty letter?

Thanks dx, I'll put the snotty letter on hold for now.

It seems the email address for a SAR to the DVLA in the sticky is out of date.  I submitted one using that email and received a reply saying that it was incorrect and that I should send it to [email protected].  Having used the new email I received a standard automated reply of acknowledgement.  

[mcnato]

SAR returned by letter from DVLA (so the above email does work). 

 

VCS Ltd being the enquirer. 

Date of request 18//09/2020. 

Date of event 04/09/2020

[mcnato]

Although I will be submitting another request as DVLA haven't stated when they responded to VCS with the information.  18th was a Friday,  VCS say they posted the letter on Mon 21th.  Seeing how this SAR has taken this long, I doubt the DVLA went all out to clear the request over the weekend, but we'll see.

[mcnato]

As requested.  Since the last letter from the solicitors in Dec 2020 (read and ignored), I've heard nothing since.  The two invoices, solicitors letter and SAR from the DVLA are sitting in a file in case I have to use them...one day.
