Finally got an update, the court have just rung and said that the information they have is correct, and that it isn't me. The person involved has the same name and DOB as me but has a different driver number and address. They have sent the correct information to the DVLA and the DVLA have made the mistake, so they are going to contact the DVLA on my behalf. Apparently it should take around 10 days to reflect on my driver record. The person at the court was very professional and helpful.

Thank you everyone for your advice. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

The DVLA were useless and responded that they would only update the details on the instructions of the court which supplied the information, and wouldn't even check if they had made a mistake, although at least they responded quickly.

I contacted the court, and the first person said simply that I needed to file a stat dec however the person who did attend court for this pleaded guilty so that might be difficult, however I did speak to someone who noted that although they have the same DOB and name as me, the address they have wasn't the same as mine. They wouldn't give me anything else but said that I should have a response from them within a few days.

This hasn't happened, so I rang them again today and they advised I email the court directly with the information again, and also contact the police central ticket office to see what they could do.

They advised to contact Action Fraud, which i did and filled out a report, but very quickly got a reply to say that they don't see this as a crime and I still don't know if they are doing anything about it, so i'm left in limbo hoping that the court will respond soon as thats my last and only avenue to resolve this.

Thank you for the swift reply.

I will find out what I can by contacting the court on Monday, hopefully they will give me information over the phone so it can be resolved quickly.

I have sent an enquiry to the DVLA as well.

I will post back once I know more.

I checked my DVLA online driving licence record today and noticed that there had been a CD10 Careless driving and AC10 failing to stop added from an offence May last year and a conviction for this in January this year. Totalling 7 points and a £245 fine.

I know nothing about these, and the court listed is nowhere near me or anywhere that I went on the day they are saying the offence took place.

Ive not had any court documents nor have any idea why these are here on my record, but now it makes sense why my insurance quotes are so large.

Ive obviously not stated that i have any endorsements so am now concerned about my insurance situation, and how to go about getting this rectified.

The only advise i got was that this was either an error with the dvla or the court, and i will contact the court on Monday, but has anyone any experience with this situation?

Just to add, I have not been involved in any accident, nor been contacted by the police or have any knowledge of the above. I drive about 5 miles a day around local roads and the court involved is the other side of the country. I have Google timeline proof and more that I was at home working most of the day and of any movements.
