    Sorry to jump in on this thread but I received a NIP yesterday for an offence on 21/2/15. The paper letter is dated 19/3/15.
    I've looked at the notice on line and that is the same except it's dated 24/2/15.
    I bought the car on 21/2, the date of the alleged offence and assumed that they'd had problems identifying the keeper but the on line copy would suggest not?? So it appears it's taken them nearly 4 weeks to send the letter.
    Did we get caught on the same camera OP?

    You need to be looking at the date of issue on your V5, I doubt you have a defence.

    The only likely date I can find is at the bottom of the second page under official use only - is this right? - and it is dated 2/3/15 which sounds about right - so still 17 days??

    But after the date of the offence, how can they possibly be expected to serve the nip on you when it wasn't registered to you?

    So why does the copy of the notice online have a date of 24/2/15 with my name and address on it?
