100% Yes. Mate of mine got an avdata bill for Port MacQuarie I think it was. I just happened to have read in an NZ magazine the day before he told me, that ZK-same rego had passed through PMQ.
Easily sorted, but yet again, another innocent party had to make the effort to correct the matter.
What other business, of any sort, randomly sends out accounts to people hoping that they'll just pay it? And what other business of any sort randomly sends out accounts for
another business? None I know of.
Friend of mine has a business - what would happen if he asked me to bill his customers, and tell them to pay me, not him? They'd say rearrange these words: stuffed, get.
