Notice of intended prosecution for unknown vehicle - confused72

I have just received a notice of intended prosecution & request for driver information for a vehicle I have no knowledge of, from a part of the country I have never been to. However, the letter is obviously addressed to me and has my correct name and address.

Not sure how to proceed and what to respond with. Any suggestions? Can I call up DVLA to check if someone has registered that vehicle in my name? How else could I be served with this letter for an unknown vehicle?

cheers

confused & worried driver

Sounds like an admin error at the office of the sender with wrong VRM punched in.

Write back and inform them as your post within 28 days.

If you get anymore such correspondence then time to take the matter furthger with DVLA/Police

The police will not be able to help call the DVLA and follow up with letter.

If you search the 'legal matters' for my post of August 12th last year you will see a similar problem which we sorted by recorded delivery letters to both DVLA and the issuing court. Turned out to be human error at the court and/or DVLA but put right quickly.
