Thank you both again. Got the email now from the lease company confirming registration and date returned to them. Would you expect this to be resolved without court or some otherwise disproportionate level of hassle?

Thanks both for your replies. I called the lease company today; they confirmed they have on record that I returned the vehicle on the correct date (before the incident in question). I will try to press them again on whether or not they have had any contact with the police on this matter.

Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I had a lease car that I finished the contract on, and returned to the lease company. I recieved an Police Intention to Prosecute with an Application for the Identity of the Driver in the post, for a speeding offense that happened over a month after I returned the car. Obviously I was not the driver.I replied to the notice saying I wasn't the driver, attached details of my lease contract showing it had ended and the car was returned, and gave contact details of the lease company.A couple of weeks later, the police write back to me saying they "have been provided with documentation to show that you were the driver at the time and/or in posession at the time of the alleged offense". WTF?They've asked me to fill in the driver identity form again, with wording in the letter suggesting that I was either lying or made "an honest mistake", neither of which are true.Is there anything else I can do to show them I wasn't the driver? This is completely absurd but unfortunately I don't have much faith in the system to avoid absurd conclusions.
