NCP claim - HELP

I was 100% not the driver.  Surely they need to prove I was the driver, rather than me having to prove I was not?

That's right, but things will be much simpler if you can demonstrate you were elsewhere.

State you were not the driver. Point out how many could have driven.

There were two other people insured on the car at the time, one of which was the driver. Do you think it's enough to say in my witness statement that I and two others were insured to drive the vehicle at the time and leave it at that? I don't want to include a copy of the insurance policy as evidence, as this would include their names.

You could part-redact the names, maybe leaving surnames showing?

That's what most people do...nothing is new here.

Hi guys, panicking now.... Was just researching POFA 2012 and came across the following text on the government website:
The relevant period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) is the period of 14 days beginning with the day after that on which the specified period of parking ended.
In my case, 'the offense' was on 28th November. Letter was sent on 13th December. In my mind, this was 15 days, but reading above if it's counting the day after as day 1...... then I'm truly buggered correct?

No , it failed if posted on the 13th , because it is deemed delivered 2 days later , on the 15th December , plus 29 + 30 of November , 15 + 2 = 17 days

It should have arrived before it was even posted

Thank God for that! Cheers Redx. I thought I'd just lost my case!

Day 1 was the 29th , day 2 was the 30th , add 12 to that and December 12 was arrival deadline day of 14 days defined by POFA , day 15 after the incident date so they posted it after the deadline date for it to arrive !!

They snooze , they lose

The Beckham speeding case was similar , cost him thousands to hire Mr Loophole who found that the NIP arrived one day too late , not the same at all , but same principle , deadlines
