I received the attached letter on Monday of this week.
At first i thought it was a bogus letter but after contacting HMCTS i received the following (redacted) response: Good morning, Thank you for your email, the contents of which have been noted. Your account xxxxxxxxxx is to pay a fine for an offence that was heard at Warrington Magistrates Court on xx/03/2018. The offence details are as follows: You failed to give information about the driver of a vehicle that was allegedly guilty of the following offence:- On xx/11/2017 at WARRINGTON drove a motor vehicle, namely A VOLKSWAGEN xxxxxxx, on a road, namely THE B5210 WOOLSTON GRANGE AVENUE, subject of a local traffic order, namely A LOCAL ORDER, at a speed exceeding 40 miles per hour. You were fined £826.00 and your licence was endorsed with 6 points. All original correspondence for this case was sent to FLAT 3, 32 KEPPEL ROAD, MANCHESTER, M21 0BW as this was the address passed to the court by the DVLA at the time of the offence. As your account is now with Marstons and no longer held by the collections department, you will have to contact Marstons directly to arrange payment of your fine. Please be advise Marstons charge additional fees once an account is passed to them, if you require further information about these fees we advise you to speak to Marstons. Their contact details are as follows: Is there anything that i can do at this stage to deal with the course or ask for a review in light of the fact that the first knowledge i had of this was on Monday (29th Oct 2018)? It seems unbelievable that no one attempted to trace me until this was passed over to the debt recovery agency - i am on the electoral and council taxt register at my current and have been since March 2017. My car is insured for the correct address and the address on my licence (which they have apparently endorsed) is correct so surely they could have contacted me easily? Obviously i now need to update the registered address of my car however i am also concerned if my credit rating will now be affected. I am really hoping that someone on here has some insight on how best to deal with this issue. Many Thanks Mysilvercar |

Prosecutors are (mostly) normal people doing a job, if they get a conviction then it really doesn’t matter what it’s for, they don’t have targets for sentencing, it’s almost certain you were speeding, you’ve been convicted and punished for that, they don’t (usually) have any interest in punishing you further.
