i was driving on the motor way and got off for the exit... coming down from 60mph to "47mph" on a 50>40 to 30mph road, the police on the bike with his little hand held gun taking notes pulled me over and saying that i was 17mph over the limit
i didnt have my licence on me just my bank card.. which he took my details from and my address.. once i received the metropolitan police letter about "£100 find plus 3 point for speeding" i noticed that they got my reg wrong the second letter on the paper they put X when on my reg its a W this is first time for me and i dont know how to go about this.. can someone help guide me thanks in advance |

If you are tempted to ignore this, it might be an expensive lesson. If you don't take up the offer of a fixed penalty they will take it to court. Any error on the court documents can be corrected and if you have no defence, you will find yourself looking at possibly more points, a income based fine and costs/surcharge.
Point out their error and allow them to fix it. The fixed penalty is the cheapest option you are likely to get. |

No need to ‘fix’ just take the fixed penalty. If you take it to court an error on the registration number is of no consequence it’s you accused of speeding not the car!

The record on the system does need correcting - for data integrity if nothing else - so it is best to advise them of the error prior to payment / licence submission. |

I would still argue its an irrelevance, perhaps explain how its relevant (beyond meaningless 'data integrity')?

What bad things can happen if it isn't corrected? The penalty is recorded against the driving licence rather than against the car so I don't see how "data integrity" is of any importance. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

It is drivers, not vehicles, who have driving records (of which the Fixed Penalty will form part). I doubt that the integrity of that data will be compromised if this error remains uncorrected.

Nothing to do with the DVLA record, but the PentiP record will refer to a driver and link him to a incorrect /non-existent vehicle.
If data exists, it should be correct. Isn't that what is being rammed down our throats with GDPR? |

Isn't that what is being rammed down our throats with GDPR? Why should the data on PentiP be correct? More importantly, why would the OP care? -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Why would the OP's personal data be kept on PentiP after the case has been processed? |

But the points are already recorded against the licence holder by the DVLA. Why is it necessary for PentiP to duplicate the data? |

Just to reiterate: Who gives a flying hoot if the data on PentiP is wrong????
