My advice would be before you do anything else check and see if the private company is BPA or IPC registered.If not they would not have access to the DVLA register and will have obtained your wifes details illegally- if this has occurred that is fraud. This may explain also why they do not have your new details.
If it is a private company offer them a payment that is less than the amount they claim is owed and includes a goodwill gesture to aviod further proceedings. After all your wife did have a parking permit, just not for that particular car park. This will not look good for them if it gets to the county court stage.
I have successfully helped a number of people avoid completely or drastically reduce the amount requested by private parking companies. Their correspondence looks impressive and quotes all kinds of legal sanctions that ultimately are not open to them.
whatever advice you take good luck!

also- forgot to add that in the case of non council run car parks the landowners actual losses incurred are important which are never as much as the parking charge and why you offer less to settle the issue.

Ballypete unsurprisingly knows his stuff I've been looking into this a lot recently as my car was issued with a PCN by UKPC on uni land - for which I have a permit. The law in Scotland is different, but I'd like to add to the abov e advice that on no account should their correspondence or ticket refer to a "fine" or "penalty" - either makes it illegal. Google the private company and see what it throws up - there are good threads on MoneySavingExpert for a start...

Thanks for the responses folks. My advice would be before you do anything else check and see if the private company is BPA or IPC registered. They are, with the IPC. I have a thread on Pepipoo and some of the people there have suggested that the signage in the car park is "forbidding" as it only offers a contractual agreement to permit holders (IE. if you're not a permit holder, then you can't possibly be entering into the contractual agreement and the only claim against you would one of trespass by the land owner). Others are suggesting that we decline to tell them who the driver was at the time and leave it at that.
