I'm not expecting to be advised of anything. I'm just asking a question because as you have already noticed, I do not know anything about this particular topic. Perhaps there was something related to a point of law or a regulation that required the correct details to be written in the notice of intended protection. But I can see that is not the case. Thanks.

If a problem occurs, you could try talking to them. If not, I'm struggling to see what you expect us to advise with regards to some unspecified problem that might conceivably require addressing at some point in the future.

So, if your name was Mr Desperately Grasps-Atstraws, but it was addressed somewhat unconventionally as Mr [surname:] Atstraws, [Forname(s):] Desperately Grasps?
In other words it has your complete and reasonably unambiguous name, clearly intended for you (even without knowing that it was for you due to having been stopped by the occifer and warned at the time that you might be prosecuted), and you want to know if the formatting of your name in this "letter" (which the thread title suggests might be a NIP - even though no NIP is required due to you having been warned at the time that you might be prosecuted) somehow gives you a get out of jail free card?
Whilst it is perhaps better to ask on the off-chance there there might somehow be a defence in there, than to miss a viable defence due to assuming that it's too far-fetched to even bother asking the question - I regret to inform you that there is no such thing as a Nobel Prize for Optimism.

I have been offered a speed awareness course but I'm afraid that when I send/complete my details with the course provider, the mix-up will come up and complicate things up.

Presumably if the police officer filled it in then you were warned at the time that you might be prosecuted. So no written NIP is required at all. That being said, an error in your name shouldn’t stop you being offered a SAC.

Hi everyone,
I have a double barrel surname and the letter I have received shows the surname with only the first part of my surname and the forename with the second part of my surname and my forename. The police officer filled the paperwork after I showed him my driver's licence. Do I have any chance of fighting this offence successfully? Also, I would like to complete the speed awareness course but I worry this name/surname mix-up will complicate things up. These are the details of the NIP: OFFENCE DETAILS
