These issues should be the responsibility of the DVLA and police, as I fulfilled my responsibility by having my details logged with DVLA and responding to the NIP timely.

The police and the DVLA are not the same body. If the DVLA messed up and the information was not sent to the PNC then that is hardly the police’s fault. The police could then seek to rely on the DVLA’s error to say why they couldn’t get your details.

Just out of interest, what is the date on the bottom of pg2 on your V5C?

You say you bought the car around a month before. I have an electronic copy of my latest V5 and while it says date acquired 30/10 the issue date, i.e. when DVLA updated their records is 5/12. Which is 5 weeks later.

Its dated 1.5.24 - same date of the offence. Very unfortunate timing! But still, I was registered as the keeper on the day. I would think the police should have had access to that on 3.5.24.

True, but how can any of that be proved? There is no error from DVLA that I am aware of. The information I have from DVLA says I was registered on 1.5.24 and the information I have from the police is that they checked the database on 3.5.24.

The police will have a record of what was returned on the PNC when they searched your registration number. Unless that was your details as the RK, they could not have sent an NIP to you. If it was someone else’s details, they would have sent an NIP to them. Odds are there was no trace.
