Yes, the advice you found online is absolutely correct. So
correct in fact that I am surprised that you need to seek
further advice.
If you read section 1 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, it
clearly states that Jordan1992 shall not be convicted of any
motoring offence unless he receives a NIP within 14 days from
the date of the offence.

We need a lot more information.
Are you the registered keeper of the car? If so what is the doc
date on the V5c?
It's only the first NIP in the chain that has to be delivered
within 14 days.

Thank you for your replies.
Yes the vehicle v5 is in my name.
Do i need to respond to the NIP confirming i was the driver at
the time of offence?
And then once i receive the next letter appeal then?
Im not sure how i appeal
Thank you

Have you checked that the address on the V5 is 100% correct?
(check, don't assume that it's right).

This is where im not 100% sure
I’ve recently moved and sent my v5 off around the same time as
the offence to change my address.
How can i find out if this is the first NIP sent by the police?

Yes you need to do so even if the NIP was served out of time.

As you notified the DVLA by post of a change of address 'around
the time of the offence' it is 99% probable that they had your
old address on record when enquiries were made.
What is the date on the NIP? Do you have mail forwarding in
place from your old address to your new?
MickR's question is worth answering. Do you have your new V5C
yet and if so, what is the doc ref date on page 2? That should
tell you when the address change was processed in relation to
the offence date.
