Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all,

I'd really appreciate some advice.

I received a SJPN for a speeding offence.

Offence:

- 13/01/2026
- 46mph in a 40mph limit
- Metropolitan Police

I am not disputing that I was speeding and I admitted being the driver.

What is confusing me is that I believed I had complied with the fixed penalty process.

The timeline is:

- I returned the driver nomination form.
- I provided my driving licence number on the form.
- I signed the form and identified myself as the driver.
- I paid the £100 fixed penalty.
- The payment was later refunded on 12/05/2026.
- I have now received an SJPN.

I actually received two speeding tickets at the same location with days of each other. I paid one online and one via post. Both payments were taken but it was the posted letter that hasn't been endorsed.

The witness statement says:

"The Fixed Penalty was paid but they failed to provide their licence details for electronic endorsement and a refund was requested."

However, I have a copy of the form showing my driving licence number was provided. It's as clear as day. I haven't received mail regarding the "refund" but my statement says it was refunded 12/05/26.

I currently have 6 points on my licence and am concerned about being disadvantaged financially when I believed I had complied with the fixed penalty process.

My questions are:

1. Is there any argument that I should receive the equivalent of the original fixed penalty disposal?
2. Does the fact that I provided my licence number and paid the fixed penalty assist me?
3. How should I respond to the SJPN in these circumstances?

Many thanks.
