FPN for speeding
Discussion
Been meaning to ask about this one for a while now, just kept putting it off.
Ex-company received an FPN, who are Dublin based.
Now, I know what I'm supposed to do when contesting it - it's all on pepico's (sp?) site.
Anyway, the query here is that the cheat sheet included mentions that the FPN should NOT be sent to the employee, that their name being filled in on the reverse side of the FPN.
Anyway, said FPN has been sent to me, and I received it last week some time - took bloody long enough, although not overly concerned for obvious reasons.
So, do I acknowledge receipt of it and do the pepico thing or 'forget about it' - it never arrived?
More importantly, even though the incident happened here in the North, and I live in the North, being employed on contract (now finished) by a Southern company, what way do things work regarding the police chasing this up?
For the life of me, I can't recall the incident, especially where it says it took place, so I will be wanting to see exactly where it occurred and see what circumstances there are around it.
So, let me have you input please.
Thanks.

Okay to clarify:
Car rented through Northern office of a UK/Ireland outfit - Norflex.
Company paid for it, I just signed paperwork upon collection and return.
So the only details the PSNI got were my name, and the company address in Dublin.
Incident in North, so issued by PSNI.
If the resend the NIP, and the company resends it to me, after what period do they try to hang the penalty on the company or does it get dropped?

No office manager in NI, only the 4 engineers, so ALL correspondence goes to Dublin until or unless Dublin provides my home address.
Incident recorded on June 16th, letter dated 27th - I didn't receive it from Dublin until 8-10th July, IIRC.
Point is, the included form stated it was NOT to be resent onto the employee. Obviously that hasn't been read - just sent to me to "take care of it".
Now, I was under the impression there was cross-boarder co-operation and penalties, but that tended to be more aimed at if you speed down South and are caught, you can't expect to get away with it, and vice versa for Southern drivers whilst in the North.
So, I'm curious as to the cut-off point in time, or has that already elapsed due to the NIP arriving with me in July - more than the required 14 days since the event?
Cheers guys.

I think the problem is that the company is NI based but has a dublin office that does all the admin.
Nope, they're Dublin based and registered. Part of a UK company, but nothing in the North associated with them. They look after all the engineers in Ireland - North and South.
