    We sold our car back in Feb 2022 and over the last few years received parking tickets for a private parking offence in March 2022 several weeks after we had sold the car. My wife has now received a claim form from HM Courts and Tribunals. We now have 11 days to respond. We never gave the parking tickets any thought as we had sold the car several weeks before the incident. We now realise that our V5 documents probably didn't make it to DVLC and worry that we may have no way out of paying the £350. We had sold the car to a dealer who came to my house so i have no information on him. The car had no MOT when we sold it but we now know that it had passed an MOT a few weeks after we sold and before the infringement. I have filled in a V888 form but not sure if its worth sending as a expect to see that i was still registered as the owner. We can only prove that we did not MOT the car and that we it had a new car registered to my wife and that this was was taxed and insured but will it help us?

    Do you have any paperwork from when you handed it over to the dealer?

      Acknowledge the claim but do not enter a defence yet

      please post up a copy of the claim form (first removing name & address, PCN reference number and car VRN but leave in all dates and times)

      Do not identify the driver if communicating with claimant or when posting on here.

      You need to defend the claim.
      You should receive a response from DVLA long before this ever reaches the hearing stage
