Speeding fine

Looking for advice, unsure if this is the right site due to it
being a speeding fine..
please delete if not.
letter received from police to say caught speeding back in
September 2023 and because those letters went unanswered due to
the logbook being in the old address, yet drivers license was
changed, it went to court.
6 points! Previously clean for 30+ years
And £1026 fine.
Logbook no where to be seen.
Can anything be done.
Thank you

I’ll try to guess what’s happened.
I reckon you have been convicted of “Failing to provide driver’s
details” (FtP).
You firstly need to perform a Statutory Declaration to have your
conviction set aside. Proceedings will then begin again and with
any luck you will have been charged with speeding as well as
FtP. With a bit more luck – and provided you were the driver at
the time - you may be able to persuade the prosecutor to
discontinue the FtP charge in return for agreeing to plead
guilty to speeding.
Some information about the Statutory Declaration process is
here:

I’m sorry new to all this …
A notice of intended prosecution was sent to the registered
address held by DVLA, then a second reminder, unfortunately that
was an old address. Then I was found guilty of failing to
provide information, 6 points and a fine was issued at the old
address,
I received a police letter today, stating all of this.
My logbook was never changed into the new address, which I
thought was done when my driver’s license was done.
Hope that explains a tad more, apologies.

The logbook and driving licence are separate. You would need to
update both when you move homes.
Some vehicle are under lease which the leasing company hold the
logbook (V5C) it makes no sense to update the logbook when you
update the driving licence if the leasing company move business.
You can do the SD shown on link above.
