Quote from: NewJudge on 27 Jan, 2026 15:13What points you have now is irrelevant. It's the number of points you had when the offences were committed which count.Points are "active" for totting up purposes for three years from the date of the offence. If that number reaches twelve within that period you face a mandatory disqualification of six months. You can reduce or avoid this ban entirely if you can show ha you or others will suffer "exceptional hardship" as a result.You haven't said why there was a delay to the enforcement process. The date the process is eventually concluded is of no importance (other than it delays the start of any ban that might be imposed). If you delayed it in an attempt to avoid a ban you have wasted the effort.Thanks Newjudge - that makes sense now - looks like I need to take this on the chin and and explain the exceptional hardship bitsgenerally is it best to go to court to explain the hardship or does a well crafted written explanation work out ok; suppose the other question is how useful is using a solicitor or am I just wasting moneyAppreciate the precise details aren't in this post - and apologies

Quote from: andy_foster on 27 Jan, 2026 15:05We have lots of expertise regarding endorseable motoring offences and totting up. If only we had an OP who had some expertise in providing relevant information to enable us to utilise such expertise...Or even an OP that was capable of finding the cunningly hidden "READ THIS FIRST" sticky at the top of this forum, and following the instructions in the title.As has been said "are pushing for" is meaningless gibberish. Either tell us what they said, or don't.For the purposes of totting up, it is the dates of the offences that matter - if you get 12 or more points from offences committed within a 3 year period, you are liable to tot up.Andy - thanks but go easy mate - this is all a first for me and I am massively unsure on what is really happeningAppreciate I hadn't quite read the read first bit and I appreciate that must be frustrating for you ...

Hi all I have had 2 letters going back to 2023 about alleged parking at a place in Cornwall (Polzeath) - I cannot recall any original requests to pay a fine - have had 2 trace debt recovery letters (ignored those) and now a letter from Moorside Legal titled - Letter Before a ClaimWhat is the best course of action now?Thanks

Does anyone have any expertise in totting up offences that could lead to a potential banI had 2 speeding fines in July - but the paperwork wasn't received (for a variety of reasons) until late October - at that time I had a legacy 6 points on my licence2 different police areas so 2 different enforcement teams - both elements are pushing for a magistrates appearanceCan anyone help on this - to be honest I was speeding but they are looking to prosecute for a points speeding offence when technically now I have zero pointsThanks
