See post #29 on how to get a counterpart.
I suggest that in your letter you plead guilty, accept the fine and note that your EU licence does not have a counterpart. The DVLA will then just setup a "ghost" UK driver record in their system and add the points to that.0 -

I have already informed them and they have it noted ready for when my next renewal comes upBlackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool0 -
Whoops, I never updated you (sorry, my bad).
Tried the number on the letter the next day and at the end of every single option (press 1, press 2 etc) everything was a recorded message with no option to speak to a human.
Had to ring the main police number and beg them to put me through to someone.
When we finally got through to the department, they did acknowledge it was a clerical error. One computer system doesn't talk to the other and needs manually updating and on this occasion it hadn't been done.
The woman who DH knew who had been on the course also received one. She didn't receive it the same day he got his but then it arrived the next day.
