Toll Notice Sent to Wrong Address (NVDF)
TII / eFlow rely on the NVDF to identify and address the registered owner. If the keeper has changed address and notified the NVDF, but the notice was sent to the old address, service is invalid. Equally, if the vehicle was sold pre-journey, liability does not attach to the previous owner. The unpaid toll penalty regime is automated and frequently produces wrong-recipient demands.
Legal basis
Roads Act 1993; Roads Act 2007; M50 Toll Bye-Laws; NVDF address records.
How to identify this in your case
Same as IRE-PROC-007 logic. Bank evidence of NVDF change of address; sale records; Certificate of Destruction.
Sample appeal wording
Sample wording to adapt and send yourself — it may not fit your notice or the stage you are at. Replace the bracketed prompts with your own details; leave any case citation as it is.
