A 70-year-old man is baffled after his wife, who neither owns nor drives a car, received at least 19 parking fines totalling $1,320 over the past year for a “mystery car” the couple has never owned.
To make matters worse, the 66-year-old woman received more than 50 letters, including payment reminders, and was even summoned to appear in court.
Mr Wang (transliterated), a delivery driver, told Shin Min Daily News that his wife began receiving HDB parking fines in September 2025.
“Neither of us owns a car, and our two sons and daughter have not bought cars either. It is really baffling,” he said.
According to the notices he provided, the fines involved a car with a registration number ending in 7965Y, which had allegedly been parked illegally without a valid parking coupon.

Wang said he had driven a car in 2024, but its registration number was 4155. Its Certificate of Entitlement (COE) had only six months remaining at the time, and the car has since been scrapped.
“My wife has a driving licence, but she has never driven a car. The last time we bought a car was more than 20 years ago,” he said.
The couple made a police report in October 2025. His wife lodged another report on the evening of Oct 12.
Receives more than 50 reminder letters
According to the documents provided by Wang, his wife received at least 19 parking fines. The last recorded offence involving the car was on March 25.
After receiving the fines, she also began receiving red reminder notices and at least 17 yellow final reminder notices, which serve as a final warning to pay the fines.
“Over the past year, we have received a huge stack of letters — more than 50 in total,” Wang said.
