I would guess at a potential cloned plate....

Call them during the day and speak direct to the named person.

Will do, cheers  

Max had it for 3 years or so i think and i have the invoice from when he bought it.

So we know the car was his and now mine, suspect someone has cloaned the plate.

my old Passat was cloned for a while, the police thought it was me who owned the clone, they would not believe me until i took them to the Main dealers to confirm it was an original, it was a testing time for a week or so, the cloned car was noiticed originally in london as it was clocking up conjestion charges in london and the bills were coming to me
it was found parked illeagally and lifted in london some where then they came to see me about the outstanding tix etc, i must admit i thought the officer who came initially was sympathetic but the investigating officers treated me like a crim. the look on their faces when the local VW dealers confimed my car was original was great, they made the error of travelling to the dealers in my car, i drove off and left them there, . they wernt to happy wen they picked up thier car from my house
my response was oh yeah i forgot :question

I'm gobsmacked....

I know why Cumbria wrote to ME.... LAST F'ing YEAR!  My first speeding ticket in 10+ years.

Why the f*** they're writing to Tunnie i have No bloody idea... but since my Speeding ticket was wayyyy   before the car died, or was fixed, or sold on, or whatever.... surely even muppet beaurocratic tosspots can work THAT out...   what they think they're doing is anyone's guess.



Pass it on to me Tunnie, and I'll go shove it up their sun no shiny.

So as long as you change cars every year you'll never get caught?  Typical.  :-?

You didnt turn left off the M54 instead of right last weekend did you and then drove 150 miles before you realised and feel to ashamed to tell us

Contact Cumbria Police direct.

I suspect its a scam from an ebayer...

Its got my full name including middle name.... not sure how fleabay would have got that?

Hang on... the police have access to the DVLA database.... so why do they need those 2 details? They should have those logged...

Not quite.. had similar problem, officer wanted me to produce MOT, insurance etc, I said you have the reg number, you can get these details off the DVLA... officer said that since I was not investigated for a suspected crime (some else hit my car), the data protection act prevented them from accessing my details on the DVLA database... so if the copper needs info from you but you are not a suspect, he has to ask you (nicely..) because he can't access national databases and look you up.

Yes, that could be right. I asked the Police to do a number plate check for me for work, they used to do it in the past without any real problem. Because i was not carrying out a particular investigation they would not do it. More than their jobs worth nowadays without a specific investigation. Immigration, well that sems to be a different story, information over the phone without them clarrifying who I was, a worry.

Mark - I would say the cop in your case was being a pedant....  Your car was struck, therefore involved, thus more than able to justify that you have or do not have, insurance cover for the vehicle being that it was upon a public road.  That info would be for the use of the cop concerned and not for further dissemination to any other party....


Mike - in your case, your reason for the check was what, exactly?  If no justifiable reason directly related to Police work of the officer requesting the check then, yes, the Data Confusion Act does specifically excell in such things, and with good reason....   Your info is exactly that.  Your information details.  You would not be happy if someone abused the system to reveal your details unlawfully.  If you wanted keeper etc details, simply fill out a form at the Post Office, pay the required fee and the details will appear on your doorstep sometime soon thereafter direct from DVLA, all legit and above board.  You are entitled to see who the vehicle is owned etc by, but you do have to go about it in a legal and proper way....

You are right, no argument from me. Without going into detail, on here, of parts of my job, I do undertake enquires, only the Police do investigations. Above a certain level then I can obtain information for legitimate purposes, and the Police team I work with are great, no problems.  At the point I was referring to they had not reached that point, subsequently however they have and I am currently undertaking joint, with the Police, enquiries/investigations and can now ‘run the number’, didn’t need to as I got the information from the subject. Currently making arrangements, on behalf of the Police, to visit with SOCO certain places. Long story, not for here.
