Spoke to an agent this morning. She chased it up for me an emailed me this afternoon confirming they have received it and will be in touch shortly.

As above - the processing centres pay not attention to 'signed for' so it's really a waste of money - but you have proof it was sent (but not proof of what was in the envelope!). you'll get the offer of the SAC if eligible shortly (probably), but chase them to confirm receipt if you're bothered.

Sending something signed for is generally a really bad idea to somewhere receiving bulk mail as
1/ It won't be signed for and
2/ The Postie won't even bother going through the hundreds of items to find and 'self sign' it.
Sending with free proof of posting is cheaper and just as effective.
It's probably been delivered but not logged, just delivered in a sack with the rest of that days mail.
The police are not in the habit of prosecuting for replies received a few days late anyway, they would prefer to just progress the underlying charge.
As above, you can phone and ask if they have the reply.
Arguably as you 'know' (at face value) that the reply hasn't be received you need to make immediate arrangements to get details to them (another advantage of using proof of posting instead, as you it could create no such liability).

Thanks. I’ll give them a call this morning and check if they have received it. What if they haven’t ? What should I do ?

Hi,
I received a NiP from the police for doing 35 over 30.. anyway it's my first offence and never had one before. So I do not have any points on my license.
I filled in the form and posted it back via Royal Mail signed for 1st class as l'm a bit anxious it would be late.
The 28 days notice ends on the 20/02/24.
I have proof of postage with receipts, dates, tracking number.
I checked the Royal Mail tracking and it still hasn't been delivered.
What should I do if they receive it late after the deadline?
Should I give them a call and make them aware?
I'd call. It has probably been delivered.
