any advice re wrong surname on speeding ticket

[zoena]

hi my other half is a hgv driver and we have had two letters here that have been addressed to him but with surname spelt slightly differently so he sent them back saying not known at this adress (which is suppose is true although i told him to just pay it!!) anyway we have had a third letter now in the correct name with a court summons but it says 'we have previously sent to letters to bla bla wrong spelt surname ' so even though they got it right this time they still got it wrong in the letters about before! it is his own fault but he is a stubborn old git so what does he do now? he admits he was speeding but does he have to go to court or can he just ring up and say he will pay the fine as it was there typing error that made things delayed?? help xx

How long was it between the offence and the 'correct' letter?

Battyboom is one of the PePiPoo lot that came over to cause trouble in November when they saw Perkys court case.

Forget typing error. You cannot sign the NIP if you are not the person named on it. Different but similar name is not good enough, you cannot sign.

I presume that the first two 'letters' were in fact, NIPs together with S.172 forms to name the driver.

 

As Bernie has said above, you can only reply to an S.172 request that is in your name.

 

I am unclear about the third 'letter'. You say that this had the correct name, but is a summons. How have they got the correct name? Did you contact them after the first two letters? What is the summons for (ie what offence(s) alleged)?
