Default TFL letter

I don't know how you can check your registration number has _not_ been
cloned (unless you have access to the data from all the ANPR systems).
You only find out if it has been cloned when the parking charges,
penalty charges, notices of intended prosecution, police etc start to
arrive.

It may well be that the letter has been sent because the number has been
cloned and picked up by the congestion charge (CC) cameras. TfL have
been writing to the registered keepers of such vehicles to warn them
about the ULEZ. If so it should indicate TfL got the address from DVLA.

On the plus side, that means the driver of the car with the cloned
plates has been paying the CC and may well pay the ULEZ charge. They
may be using the cloned plate to avoid insurance, road tax and MoT; and
as insurance should they need to do a runner.

That said, it'd still be sensible to let TfL et al know - though there's
not much they can do about it. And to put something on the back and
front of the car to distinguish it from the bog standard.
