Hi @JoeBloggs90. When you reply to a post, please use the black "New Reply" button rather than the smaller "Reply" one as that will prevent the whole of the previous post being quoted unnecessarily.
Regarding your question, that complaint does not identify the driver. It is written expressly from the registered keeper’s perspective and refers only to “the vehicle” and to a payment having been made, without saying who made it. Knowledge of the facts is not the same as an admission of driving. On that wording, there is no obvious issue and it remains entirely consistent to maintain a no admission as to driver identity.
The lack of any follow-up from the landowner simply means the complaint was left unresolved. That can still be relied on later as part of the chronology to show that a reasonable attempt was made to get the matter cancelled at source, and that the landowner failed to engage after saying they would look into it.
However, as I have already mentioned, there is extremely little chance that this is ever going to get as far as a hearing. The most likely outcome is that DCB Legal will discontinue shortly before they have to pay the hearing fee. That is still months away.
