Course you do mate, there's no debt to collect and it's just the usual scare tactics.

only problem ive got is its in my father in laws name and his kicking off, can i ring up and let them know im the new keeper ? the log book is dated in my name before the tickets

So if it's in your name why are they writing to your FiL? A swift and sharp letter from your father in law to Smart asking why they are using his detail when he was not the registered keeper, keeper or driver at the time of the alleged breaches and therefore in serious breach of GDPR? He does not, and must not, tell them that you are the keeper. They are not allowed to access the DVLA a second time.

Was the actual date of the breach before the date of the transfer or the transfer between the breach and letter?

It may be necessary to contact the DVLA top confirm that the details were changed.

it was registered to him at the time of the tickets as he forgot to send off the slip. it was sent off with the old date on so the new log book has febuarys date on it

[ostell]

So the date on the V5 precedes ANY of the parking events? So you sent your portion of the V5 to the DVLA ?

OK, if all the NTKs are out of time then your FiL sends them a letter stating that the car was sold on the xxxxxx and he was not the keeper at the time of the event and they therefore have no claim against him. That ticket that was attached said issued in March

The legislation states "“keeper” means the person by whom the vehicle is kept at the time the vehicle was parked, which in the case of a registered vehicle is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to be the registered keeper" so it can be shown that the keeper was not your FiL. POFA applies to the keeper, not neccessarliy the registered keeper.. Send that letter off and see what comes back.

It's not unknown for the DVLA to be a little tardy in recording changes.
