Hi folks,

   I have received several speeding fines to my address in Torrevieja, addressed to a lady unknown to me and driving a car unknown to me. 

    I have visited the Guardia Civil to try and sort it out, but they have told me that as it’s not my car or the person it’s registered to, to ignore it as it’s not my problem. 
   I am a little concerned as the mail (several letters now) keep coming to my address. 
     Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to ignore the letters, but don’t want any repercussions. 

Just me

Hi,

   I’m not sure it’s a scam as it has the attached photo of the car from the speed camera not far from here on CV905.


The car is not mine and the driver who the letter is addressed to does not live or has ever lived in my house. It sounds like an admin error.

I get suma bills for a person who hasn't lived at this address for 12 years

I took them to the council who told me to tear the up and ignore any others

This is what the guardia civil told me. I just hope it doesn’t make things worse!

The photo of the car and the number is included. Shot from behind. It’s not a car I recognise and it’s not mine.

There should be a tel no on the letter.  You could ring up, they have English speakers.  When I queried my speeding ticket the lady was very helpful.

No, it’s a different car completely. And with a different registration number. The letter is addressed to a  lady that I’ve never heard of.
