SPEEDING FINE AND POINTS BUT IT WASN'T ME ?

I received this letter last year and I was quite baffled by it
when I received it. I tried to contact somebody regarding this
but no luck whatsoever. I didn’t hear anything more of it and I
moved out of the address it was sent to a couple of months later
and didn’t receive any letters while I was still there, until
today a letter was posted at my mums address.I received a final
steps letter regarding the attached (I only found this out as I
called the courts number and found out that it was linked) they
said the case was settled in April 2025 and I was found guilty
for speeding and fined £1000 along with 6points. The car
registration they read out over the phone I literally know
nothing about and haven’t been to the area in my life. If I was
aware of any court proceedings I would’ve annoyingly attended to
prove my innocence. I have now filed an appeal and I will be
waiting to hear back from them as someone’s clearly given false
details. I’m wondering has anyone ever experienced this ? TIA

When you say that you have filed an appeal, what have you
actually done?

I contacted the number on the letter and told them I wanted to
dispute this, they then sent me a form to complete via email
then I received a confirmation email. The start said ‘Thank you
for your submission to ‘Options after a magistrates' court
decision’. Your reference number is’
Again this person was pulled over by the police so there must be
some sort of evidence I can view or something. I’m not to sure
as this hasn’t happened to me before

The reason you have been asked to clarify what you mean by
'appeal' is that people often use this word without really
understanding what it means.
Yes, now that you have a criminal conviction you can appeal to
the Crown Court but from what you say that may not be the best
way to proceed. It may be something which is better handled by
first making an application for the case to be re-opened in the
Magistrate's Court.
It is therefore important that you set out exactly what you have
done.

Hi,
Thanks for you input, you are correct. I have asked for them to
re open the case so I can attend and prove my innocence. I was
sent the evidence pack and police office said his body worn
camera was on so this will show it wasn’t me driving. Thanks
again everyone.

Have you actually been provided with the footage?

Is it likely that the police will still have the footage from 8
months ago ?

Yes, if it was kept at the time then 8 months from alleged
offence to trial is nothing.
