Thanks Gilan, Andy, I have read the read this post first.

13/01/2026 – Speeding offence (46 in a 40).
11/02/2026 – Returned driver nomination form, confirmed I was the driver and provided my driving licence number.
17/02/2026 – Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty issued.
March 2026 – Paid the £100 fixed penalty.
12/05/2026 – £100 refunded.
26/05/2026 – SJPN issued.

My concern is that I provided my licence number, paid the fixed penalty and believed the matter had been resolved. The witness statement says licence details were not provided for electronic endorsement, but I have a copy of the form showing my licence number was supplied (which they sent back to me).

Have updated the "READ THIS FIRST" post.

N.B. Your timeline is gibberish.

Can you put some dates on the timeline?

Title: SJPN after paying fixed penalty and providing licence number
Post by: msstress on June 03, 2026, 03:56:48 pm

Hi all,

I'd really appreciate some advice.

I received a SJPN for a speeding offence.

Offence:

- 13/01/2026
- 46mph in a 40mph limit
- Metropolitan Police

I am not disputing that I was speeding and I admitted being the driver.

What is confusing me is that I believed I had complied with the fixed penalty process.

The timeline is:

- I returned the driver nomination form.
- I provided my driving licence number on the form.
- I signed the form and identified myself as the driver.
- I paid the £100 fixed penalty.
- The payment was later refunded on 12/05/2026.
- I have now received an SJPN.

I actually received two speeding tickets at the same location with days of each other. I paid one online and one via post. Both payments were taken but it was the posted letter that hasn't been endorsed.

The witness statement says:

"The Fixed Penalty was paid but they failed to provide their licence details for electronic endorsement and a refund was requested."

However, I have a copy of the form showing my driving licence number was provided. It's as clear as day. I haven't received mail regarding the "refund" but my statement says it was refunded 12/05/26.

I currently have 6 points on my licence and am concerned about being disadvantaged financially when I believed I had complied with the fixed penalty process.

My questions are:

1. Is there any argument that I should receive the equivalent of the original fixed penalty disposal?
2. Does the fact that I provided my licence number and paid the fixed penalty assist me?
3. How should I respond to the SJPN in these circumstances?

Many thanks.
