TfL cancels ULEZ fine enforcement after mistaken identity case

Transport for London (TfL) has cancelled enforcement action for unpaid ULEZ fines after bailiffs pursued a Blackpool resident for a vehicle they never owned. The individual had been mistakenly identified due to a credit report error.

  • Bailiffs pursued a Blackpool resident for four unpaid ULEZ fines for a vehicle they did not own.
  • TfL initially rejected DVLA confirmation that the vehicle was not registered to the individual.
  • CDER Group, TfL's enforcement agent, has paid £500 in compensation.

Transport for London (TfL) has cancelled enforcement action related to four unpaid ULEZ fines after bailiffs attempted to seize goods from a Blackpool resident. The individual was pursued for penalties linked to a vehicle they had never owned.

The issue began two months prior when the resident received enforcement notices from CDER Group. Despite confirmation from the DVLA that the vehicle was not registered to them, TfL reportedly rejected this evidence and instructed CDER Group to continue enforcement.

It was later discovered that the credit reference agency TransUnion had incorrectly merged a stranger's credit report with the resident's, leading tracing agents to their address. TfL, also responding for CDER, has since apologised and cancelled the enforcement action. CDER Group has paid £500 in compensation for the distress caused.
