hi daniella, my hearing is now on the 9 th july so it gives me more time, i really dont know how to start this draft, i have a week an i am a bag of nerves

thank you daniella

could really do with some help pleeeeeeease

i didnt mean to sound curt, i was just stating what was in my letter, it mentions me always wearing a seatbelt so anyone asking do i wear one obviously havent bothered reading the posts, and i was seeking advice or oppinion, people with expertence may have there take on my situation, so am sorry if i sounded curt but am a bit stressed with this situation!

i have had a reply from the court, there legal adviser Dear Sir, I refer to your e mails of 17th June relating to the above case. You may apply to the Mold magistrates court sitting on 2nd July at 12noon to reopen the case. It would be in your interests to attend that hearing particularly given the court record is that notice of the adjourned hearing was sent to you on 20th May 2013. Yours faithfully, Paul Conlon Legal team Manager he also sent me this when i asked him how i apply, Hi, You simply come along and make verbal submissions as to why it is in the interests of justice to reopen. If the court accept you did not get the adjournment notice it is likely they will find it is in the interests of justice to reopen. Regards Paul now my question is can someone help me put a statement together, i am very nervous standing in front of a magistrate and would be grateful if someone can help me with what i say

i always wear a seatbelt, read my letter to the court

thanks aretnap the vehicle is a pool car used daily by numerous people its returned to the yard nightly, i said i would admit to the seat belt charge if they showed some paper work of me being in charge of the vehicle on that day, now i feel its too late, what are the chances of the court opening my case? my insurance is going to hit the roof

i also thought it was a requirement, but they said they have a work log, and i was working that day. have i gone about things the right way now, and can someone advise me if there are any mistakes legally by the court, i thought its not down to me to give driver details because i am not the registered keeper, yet i have the fine and points

and yes i have sent the letter is that wise

yes, there is a possibility it was me but it could have been other people out the firm, this is why i asked for photo evidence, which was sent but is not clear, also i asked if the company have a drivers log and was told they dont.

sorry its been awhile done now thanks

hi all and hopefully someone can help, here goes august 2012 i was a new employee for a liverpool building company, after a few months i found work elsewhere and informed them i am moving on, they wanted me to stay but the lure of more money and better prospects was to much, soonb after i recieved a notice forwarded from them of north wales police saying my previous company had named me as a driver with no seat belt, i asked for photographic evidence which was supplied this photo did not clarify anything (to blurry), anyway i recieved a summons from mold magistrate court informing me i was attend a hearing on 15th may 2013 charged with failing to giver driver details, even though i am not the registered keeper, i wrote a letter back to the court telling them that my previous employer are the registered keeper and i could not not name the driver because i have no idea who was driving at the time of offence, june the 14th 2013 i have recieved a letter of the dvla asking for me to surrender my licence, because i was found guilty on 4th june 2013 for failure to provide driver details, i have rang mold magistrate and asked what was the outcome of the hearing, it was 6 points and 503 pound fine, when i told them i was not aware of the hearing on the 4th june they said a letter was sent, which i did not recieve, i asked could i have a statutory declaration, this was declined because they said i knew of the initial hearing on the 15th may 2013, i have today wrote a letter to the magistrate court as advised by the clerk i spoke to, she informed me the letter would be looked at by legal advises and they would decide whether my case should be re opened, this is a copy of said letter Dear sir/madam My name is ***EDIT OUT PERSONAL DETAILS ** , case number **EDIT ** in 2012 my employer c*****in ltd sent me a letter informing me i had a ticket isseud from North Wales police that i had been photographed not wearing a seat belt, i questioned this because i always wear a seat belt since i was in a very serious accident with a lorry in december 2005 when i was the passenger in a pile up, that occasion the seat belt saved my life. Now have asked for photographic proof of last years incident to which this was supplpied and still it did not clarify whether it was me, the picture was very blurred. I was then issued a summons to appear at Mold magistrates on the 15th of May 2013 i sent a letter back saying i could not make that date due to work commitments, the letter also asked me to name the driver of the offence, this i could not do and still can not, the vehichle is not registered in my name but C*****, also i feel i was not driving the vehicle on the day of the offence, i would have thought C**** have a driving log, The next communication i have had since the 15th may, was friday 14th June of the DVLA asking me to surrender my licence because on the 4th of June 2013 i was found guilty for not supplying the named driver, i was unaware i had a court hearing on the 4th of June or i would have attended to give my version of events, i recieved no letter informing me of the second court date, and now i have six points and a 503 pound fine, would it be possible to re-open my case, i have rang Mold magistrate and was informed i cannot have a statutory declaration because i was aware of the first hearing, but the first hearing does not make me aware of the 4th of June date, even so i feel there as been an injustice because i could not possibly know who was driving the said vehicle because it belongs to my previous employer and as to be collected from their yard every morning by numerous people, i hope you can help me with my dilemma, i have moved away from my family in Liverpool for a better upbringing for my children and the only way to see my family is driving, i also work throughout the North West of England, changing sites on a weekly basis and would not be able too with the added premium on my insurance. i have not had a driving offence in 15 years and would ask you please look into my case, i was told when i rang the court to write a letter and the legal advises would look, this is my only chance, thank you for your time **EDIT** i hope someone here can help me
