Hi everyone.
I am hoping I may be able to receive some much needed advice on a PCN from September 2023. I deliver vehicles all over the UK as my main job. The hours are awful and the job extremely demanding, but it pays the Bills. Last September, I was in Edinburgh at a local auction to pick up 2 cars for a customer. Time was against me and I asked one of my colleagues if he would deliver one of the cars for me and I would duly pay him. This fitted well, as he needed to get back to Durham and by taking the car to nearby Sunderland, not only was he saving on train fare, but he would also be paid for the job. I only know this guy through seeing him at the auctions and similar. He, like most of us, is self employed and obviously sorts his own finances. I knew he was genuine as he showed me his insurance and his trade plates. Anyway, he delivered the vehicle as expected and that was that. I have only seen this chap once since last September, as I think he is now semi-retired. I was absolutely gobsmacked when I recently received a PCN from UKPC daed originally back to September 2023. I know it was not me and I can only assume it was the guy who dekivered the vehicle for me. I am at a complete loss as what to do. This is the first I have heard about the charge. I have no idea where this guy lives to forward details and his mobile number is not the same as it was back then. They are asking for £60, but it is not my violation. The reg clearly shows it is the car I gave him to deliver for me. Unfortunately for me I just do not have any address details for him. Is there anything I can do to stop these people from escalating this and directing it back to me? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
