I received an email from ndors saying the above. The email said if I want to know the reason, to call 101 and ask for West Midlands Police. Big mistake, I called and had a 101 phone support member complaining they should not have put 101 on the email as they can’t put anyone through. The extension they normally put people through has a full mailbox and no longer accepting message. They said just email them. I have emailed and waiting to hear back (5 days now).
I’m not sure what’s happened. I was offered a course or points, I chose the course paid and booked it. This was 4 weeks ago.
Does anyone else know what I can do? Or have come across this issue? Thank you

They must have reviewed before allocating you the course and decided you didn't meet the criteria after all.
What was the offense? Are they offering you the points now?0 -
I have read of a couple of instances where speeding cases have been dropped with no explanation.
Kent and Yorkshire from recollection.
It could be this is another of those, If so this could be the tip of a very large iceberg
OP - does the letter say anything else regarding the offence and course of action ?1 -
You could be lucky and find that for technical reasons they have cancelled the alleged offence, or you could be unlucky and find they made an error and that just the offer has been withdrawn. You should get a letter of explanation from the police shortly.
What was the offence?1 -
You have no right to attend a course, and it can be withdrawn at any point right up to completion - with prosecution (or FPN) back on the table.
Have you done another m'way course in the last three years? That would instantly disqualify you.
Likewise, assuming speed, you may have fallen *just* outside their threshold for a course.0 -

I'd love to see a copy of the NIP showing 56. I've never seen one lower than 10% +2 over the limit.attila_123 said:
