Missed court & warrent

[uber]

In April I attended court after I was charged being on the phone and when I arrived the policeman put me in the wrong room which was full of traffic police where i sat for 3 hours until I went out and asked the healer chap who gave me into trouble and came back and told me i missed my appearance.

The allowed my case to be reheard and i was asked did I plead guilty or non guilty and at the time I thought that I would give my reason and be given the yes no verdict but instead I was sent home with a new date.

TBH I was a little freaked out about the first mix up and asked at the reception and the chap told me I would get a notification on the new date.

Today I decided to call as I thought it was taking its time and I got told the case was 2 weeks ago and I have a warrant out for my arrest!

They suggested I write in and ask for an invite which I will do today but is it possible to also change my plea to guilty in the letter? I really don't fancy another day in that court!

There is more that you're not telling us. If this was just about hand-holding an electronic device, you'd just have been fined-and-pointed heavily in your absence.

When I called I was told it was due to me not attending! I ain't no criminal

i suspect he is about to be disqualified, thats why the warrant has been issued. You cannot be disqualified in your absence.

I take it you are winding me up as I have no points!

I have an update!

Turns out the warrant was never given to the police and they had not sent out a new date due to a backlog. They are sorting out the paperwork for me and all will be fixed in the next few days
