Court Summons for speeding - Help/advice needed.

[Never you mind]

Facts.

Caught by scamera van doing 91 on the motorway.

Nip sent and returned.

Fine paid.

Sent Driving license.

Rang up SCP in March asking for my license back. Informed it was lost..backtracked a bit and told it wasn't received. New license applied for with DVLA and sent back to SCP 2 weeks ago.

Court summons for speeding arrived last week.

Any advice welcome.

OP, when you sent them your driving licence originally, did you sent it to them 'Recorded Delivery', as in are you able to provide any confirmation that they actually received it?

No I foolishly just stuck it in the normal post.

Penalty was paid on the 23rd December to HMCOURTS. No refund has been given.

Include reference to the aforementioned in your written representations.

Which part? I'm a bit thick when it comes to law stuff.

No refund!

Assuming not, but has your licence been endorsed for this offence?

I only mentioned refund as when I spoke to the court clerk she said they give a refund if it comes to court.

Don't have my license number so can't check.

Call DVLA and ask for all endorsements. Telephone: [phone]

Only my old ones. Not the new one. Guess I am screwed then or maybe the SCP will post my non endorsed license back to me so I can provide it to the court?
