    The issue is that if the OP knows it went to the wrong address, they are aware of it and potentially have the ability to correct the error

    Therefore, the defence of “I didnt receive anything” may be a tough one to get to stand up

    I'm not sure if this will succeed as you actually know that you should be receiving an S172, and you are aware the address given on the nomination was wrong, but I'm not sure if you have to rectify someone else's error-

    No he doesn’t. He only has an obligation to respond to a request if he received it. It is not for him to second guess where a notice went or what it actually says.

    It is not at all clear how the wrong postcode became involved. We don’ know who (if anybody) provided it or whether the notice was addressed correctly but wrongly delivered.

    Until then, advice is a bit difficult.

    FWIW, I'd expedite the matter…

    So would I.

    indeed. But if the OP acts now he faces a low-level speeding charge - course or fixed penalty. He won’t have to defend the more serious failure to nominate (6 points) one.
