my wife had an email from Universal credit stating her benefit is being reduced due to a court fine.
after asking several times UC gave her the court details,
she phoned the Court to be told she had 2x speeding fine from october 2019 and had been found guilty in her absence.
outcome is a 6 month driving ban and 2x fines of £811 each. and 2x 3 points on her licence (now 12 points)
The fine notices were sent to an old address which we moved from 31/10/2019 so she has had no notification of these fines or they would have been paid.
The court office told her to make a SD and she is awaiting forms to complete but they also said due to Covid this could take 2/3 months during which time the court will take 40% of her Universal credit and she will still be disqualified from driving
