I would like some advice about a situation my nephew is currently in.
This week in our local paper under the Magistrates named & shamed bit
my nephews name appeared for the following offence:
Failed to deliver notification of transfer of a vehicle to a person who was not a vehicle trader.
Fined £200, costs £110. T
he address given for my nephew was his mother's address which he left in difficult circumstances 18 months ago.
This was the first he had heard of any court proceedings
as he obviously hasn't received any letters about it as they would have gone to his mothers address,
plus he has never owned a vehicle,
in fact he only has a provisional licence.
We suspect his mother has something to do with this.
She is no stranger to fraud and dishonest behaviour.
I have spent the last 2 years clearing my mums name for unpaid mobile phone accounts
and pay day loans she took out using my mums name so no love lost there.
As soon as my nephew was old enough she used hs name to get catalogue credit etc
so he has no credit rating now either!
I have also been told that she posted on FB that
" after 18 months what goes around has finally come around"
so she is obviously feeling pleased with herself.
My nephew has phoned the Magistrates,
they said the only thing they could tell him was it related to a "large" vehicle like a van,
people carrier or a 4 x4 but
he needs to write to DVLA to explain the circumstances & ask them to write to the court
to have the conviction set aside.
As I said he has never owned a vehicle so it is definitely not his.
Has anyone come across this situation before and
can give advice on what will happen next?
He obviously has no court paperwork or any documentation whatsoever.
Also is there anything I can do to find out more about the vehicle this relates
to with a view to finding out who has done this?.
Any help would be appreciated
