Speeding and other criminal offences / Advice Please - Received SJPN for apparently not sending licence details twice - witness statement here
« on: May 03, 2025, 04:33:19 pm »
Hi - Please can someone kindly give me some advise?
Was caught doing 46 in a 40 zone, and received conditional offer.
I filled in forms requested and sent back driving license details and also tried to pay online - I thought system was happy with payment at time. Some days later, received another letter saying had not paid so was surprised to find out I hadn't - so paid again and got payment receipt this time via email. I did not receive the payment receipt the first time but there was no indication the first payment had failed at the time. Have no idea why first payment failed but second was successful. Now, 5 months later I get an SJPN letter. The witness statement says, rather confusingly....."The defendant, who is the registered keeper of the vehicle, completed and returned the section 172 response admitting they were the driver at the time of the offence"
"On 2022/2024 a Conditional Offer of a fixed penalty was sent to the same person and address as was on the Notice of Intended Prosecution. On 27/11/2024 the defendants driving license details were received at the Fixed Penalty Payment Department. On 4/12/2024 a letter was sent to the defendant requesting payment and re-submission of Driving License details. On the 9/12/2024 a payment of £100 was received to the file. On 01/05/2025 the records held by the Fixed Penalty Support Unit were checked, which showed that no driving license details were received and the conditions of the fixed charge penalty had not been met and the fixed penalty was withdrawn. A single justice notice was then generated and a refund requested."
You can see they admit they received my driving license details on 27/11....and that I paid the 100 as requested....but I missed the bit about resubmission
Any thoughts on how should I react this please? There computer systems obviously are not brilliant.
Many Thanks
