Reply to: Wrong address on parking ticket

I think the thing that confused them was the thread title "Wrong address on parking ticket"

Oh yes just noticed that. However that point had been clearly pointed out on the first page...

It's a speeding "notice of intended prosecution". The address the DVLA have for me is correct but the rozzers have got it wrong...

In which case as he doesn’t know the difference he should hand his licence back

I's a "notice of intended prosecution" for speeding (which is driving over the speed limit) issued by the police who have sent it to the wrong address which my neighbor has popped through my door.

Please let me know if you'd like anything else explained.

You can still drive with 42 points on your licence - you just need to know how to get away with it.

I always assumed the licence was handed over to the court when the points are awarded? The DVLA return it or not depending on passing 12 points/Judge?

Title says parking ticket, and then OP says speeding ticket.

Parking ticket WGAS, speeding = points and points takes you that bit closer to a driving ban.

So which is it?

Either way Pepipoo is the Answer. You WILL get lots of help there. NOIP is usually a speeder but:

If it's speeding and wrong address you will have to get it reset to a NTO (Notice to Owner) and go from there.

If it's a CEO ticket the Pepipoo'ers will guide you through what you need to check to ensure that the council can enforce, and even then I'd still suggest Appealing as most councils expect you to roll over and don't know how to do it properly if you appeal. They then F'up the follow through and the appeal is upheld as they don't know what they are doing.

Get yourself over there now, not time to waste.

That 50% relates to all parking tickets issued and contested or just those from private parking companies? I think that if it is the council then it might be harder to contest.

You mentioned rozzers but was it the police who are issuing the parking ticket?

Edit: my tuppence, if it went to the wrong address and your details are correct at DVLA; happy days.

Just had a notice of intended prosecution put through the door by a neighbour who often gets my post incorrectly delivered...

...What would you do?

You better read the notice again. Parking tickets are not prosecuted. Even when issued by the local council they are a civil penalty. Ultimately, if you don’t pay they can take it to the County Court for recovery but there is no prosecution. The best to do is to appeal out of time to the adjudicator. Over 50%of appeals are found in favour of the motorist.

Write on the envelope "Not at this address" and pop it in the post box

[BrilloPad]

Say nothing, smile and wave. It's not been delivered to you remember...

Absolutely!

Tricky. Did it get delivered to you outside the 14 day time limit? If the neighbour was a bit slow passing it on to you then you might have a defence. Don't be tempted to lie about it though...

I suggest that you get over to the pepipoo forum and ask the learned folks there.

WHS.

I had a NIP with the wrong details and the prosecution was dropped. Speak to a lawyer, it might be your lucky day.
