 Can anyone enlighten me. - wotspur
Someone I know was a driver on the A40 out of London back in March 2023 got caught speeding in 2 section of temporary roadworks on the same night around 23-50 .
However they weren’t the owner

The owner received two “ notice of prosecution from the Met police.
As the driver had zero previous offences , they accepted a SAC and payments on one and the owner had to advise the Met and changed of address as said person lived away in digs whilst in their final uni year
The other one the owner was going to deal with , but forgot
Do the Met send out reminders before going to court ???

Come Dec the owner received a LLLC claim for £398.00

We have put in an appeal , on the basis that all correspondence was sent to the drivers address as proved by the court papers , however these were all sent after 31/07/23 when the tenancy agreement finished - I’ve had it confirmed that any mail sent after then are RETURN TO SENDER , so court action was unknown about (sent around 1/9/23.
Again it’s been proven that the last correspondence was to Owner and not drivers address , I assume when landlord agents put Return to sender, they reverted back to the Owner .

The original fine was £100.00 what might we get away with , I assume the Reminder would have increased to 160 can anyone confirm
