GMP saying they never received s172 but did receive payment
« on: »
Hi all,

On 05/04/25 I was convinced of doing 56 in a 40. Letter asked for driver details and stateded £100 fine and 3 points for said offence. I sent the letter back admitting to the offence and sent payment along with it. I then received a letter saying in hadn't sent the letter off but they have recived payment which is weird as I sent them in the same letter. The fine then was on 4 points £232 fine because of court costs. They then refunded the original £100 I sent and now want me in court on 04/11/25 along with a letter of a timeline of their understanding of events. Not sure what more to include on here but I hope this summarises my situation enough to get the ball rolling.

Any more info needed ask away I'll try my best to help.

Thanks for reading through!

What form did your reply take?

Did they tell you to send £100 with your response?

Opening post make no sense, you have to reply to the S172 request first, and then get the offer of the fixed penalty next. It sounds like the £100 was sent at the time of the nomination. Clarification on the timeline needed.

I don't know why we bother when the OP's can't be bothered to tell us what actually happened.

To save a lot of hassle for regulars on here who don't know any better than to pander to such entitled morons, the OP similarly couldn't be bothered to read the instructions for accepting the COFP or following the part about sending off his identification details (generally referred to by the police as "licence details" to the Fixed Penalty Clerk - which has nothing to do with the separate s. 172 requirement.

No more pandering. Thread closed.
