Quote from: Steve on 13 Jun, 2024 19:39I never typed it out, I somehow managed to highlight the text from a picture and copy that. Seeing as I have no idea how to reduce image size on an iPhone I thought it was the next best thing.Long story short, this isn’t my fine. It’s my partners who I am trying to help out but I’m currently away with work. I’m relaying what she is telling me. I know the v5 is correct as I’ve seen that. It is an NIP that she received through the post on 10/06 but offence date is 11/05. Is there grounds to fight this? By the sounds of it, Merseyside police messed up and originally sent the NIP to the wrong address.Your partner would need to find out why the NIP was sent to the wrong address. If the circumstances fit S2 RTOA 1988, then no NIP is needed and the prosecution of the speeding offence can continue without an NIP for your partner.S1 may have been complied with if the Police National Computer (PNC) had the wrong address on it. The RK address on PNC could be different to that on your partner's V5 registration document. If that is the case then S1 is satisfied and the NIP is considered served...and if not then S2 applies anyway. Your partner could hope that someone at the police has used the wrong address, however, the address is transferred from DVLA to PNC to the police via data links. Nobody at the police types the address.
