NIP Details and Circumstances
What is the name of the Constabulary? - Date of the offence: - October 2018 Date of the NIP: - 103 days after the offence Date you received the NIP: - 104 days after the offence Location of offence (exact location as it appears on the NIP: important): - Warwickshire court Was the NIP addressed to you? - Yes Was the NIP sent by first class post, second class or recorded delivery? - First If your are not the Registered Keeper, what is your relationship to the vehicle? - How many current points do you have? - 0 Provide a description of events (if you know what happened) telling us as much about the incident as possible - some things that may seem trivial to you may be important, so don't leave anything out. Please do not post personal details for obvious reasons - I moved address April 2018 and updated my driving licence in September 2018 online. Once I had the new driving licence returned, I then had to send back my old licence cut in half. At this point I sent off my log book in the the same envelope as my old driving licence so that they could update the address. As I didn’t hear anything for a couple weeks, I chased DVLA and was told the log book could take up to 4 weeks to arrive. This was back in September and since then I completely forgot about it (having first child born sort of took my mind off it). Anyway in October 2018, I received a parking ticket for parking on double yellow lines, this was given to me by a CSO. The notice said I’d receive a letter confirming details/fine. A few weeks/months went by and I had no letter, I just thought they had forgot or just let me off. However , over the weekend 9 February 2019 my brother at my old address, had opened a piece of my post by mistake (my middle name and his first name are the same) and it included the court summons for failing to provide driver information. Therefore I never received the first letter(s) which they sent and neither did my parents receive them at my old address. I called the DVLA and they confirmed that they hadn’t received my logbook and that’s why the address wasn’t ever updated. I have now pleaded not guilty to the failing to provide information as I never received any other letters and from reading topics on here I’m now presumably going to have to go to court. I’m just a bit worried as what I can do or say, I know they hear the excuse that the first letter wasn’t ever received, but I actually never received any letters. The parking fine was £30 as so case handler informed me when I queried the NIP, however my court hearing is for failing to give the driver information. Any help on this would be great, so then I can go to court better prepared. Regarding logbook; I’ve spoken to dvla who have said I need to complete a v62 and pay a £25 fee for a replacement even though it was them who lost my logbook. NIP Wizard Responses These were the responses used by the Wizard to arrive at its recommendation: Have you received a NIP? - Yes Are you the Registered Keeper of the vehicle concerned (is your name and address on the V5/V5C)? - Yes Did the first NIP arrive within 14 days? - Yes Although you are the Registered Keeper, were you also the keeper of the vehicle concerned (the person normally responsible for it) at the time of the alleged offence? - Yes Were you driving? - Yes Which country did the alleged offence take place in? - England NIP Wizard Recommendation Based on these responses the Wizard suggested that this course of action should be considered:

Have you formally requested a reopening under S142? An appeal for a lost plea is madness, a complete waste of time and resources.
