Hi everyone.  Thank you for your advice. As I see most people not come back to these threads I thought I'd post my outcome.
Just for clarity, yes I had managed to pay the fine without nominating the driver first, West Mercia have it all in one letter, not sure if that is the norm.

I submitted my plea using the gov website. I pleaded guilty to the speeding (ticked the box that said Guilty I would not like to attend court). For the failure to notify I pled not guilty (Not guilty send me a court date). This was mid March. 2 days later the fine I paid got refunded to my bank account.

When submitting my not guilty plea I submitted screenshots of me writing to the camera ticket office etc and just explained what had happened.

Friday just gone (12/04) I received an email with the outcome of my guilty plea. I received a fine of £181, victim surcharge of £72 and costs of £90 so £343.00 to pay total & 3 points. The email did not contain any information about the second charge.

Been away all weekend and got back today to a letter from the magistrates court. It reiterated the amount to pay for the speeding charge and then under the 2nd charge DVLA code MS90 it says the offence has been withdrawn.

So I never had to go to court.

The original letter had a few sections. Section 1 nomination of driver then it had your options- pay fine or go to court. Next section was details for payment which I have done. This was all on the same letter. It was paid via an online portal

I have the letter with the charges and the reply form . Options are guilty do not attend court. Guilty attend court or not guilty and go to trial. I don't have the letter of the speeding offence anymore because you have to send off various parts of it with driving license details etc.

Postie must have dropped it in next door, the address was correct on the letter.

No it's West Mercia police.

The point have not been added yet.

Speeding and failure to notify who driver was.

I am in England.

In Sept I was caught speeding, was sent the letter  but I only got this letter in Jan as it was sent to the wrong address (neighbour had been holding on to it and just forgot to give it to me).

I emailed the ticket office as 28 days had passed and they opened up the online portal so I could pay the £100. So I paid the fine, and sent my license details off but forgot to send the driver nomination form.

I have been sent a single justice procedural notice today to charge me for speeding and for failing to name a driver.

I don't know what to do, I have paid this fine on 9th Feb and accepted the points so I don't want to plead guilty to the speeding as I have already acknowledged it.

In terms of the nomination letter it was an honest mistake, the last few months have been really stressful after being a victim of a crime myself (arson, my car was set fire to at work followed by a malicious email - they never found who did it). I took over a month off work and found a new job because I felt like I couldn't work there any more. Started new job mid Jan.

Does anyone have any advice for me as I don't want a 1k fine and 6 points for what was an honest mistake.

Thank you
