Court appearance Speeding fine.

[homecomingposy]

I’ve been summonsed to court over a speeding fine that I have proof I paid. The police say I didn’t send in my drivers license details. Which I did. Twice.
Then the police returned my £100 into my account. On calling the police to discuss, they admitted that they have problems with their post ( I don’t believe that as I had duplicate fines and letters from them ) and lots of people are in my situation. I was told to go to court and tell them what has happened. And that the magistrate will be sympathetic. On suggesting this was a complete waste of time and waste of tax payers money, the man on the phone agreed. But said there was nothing he could do.
Has anyone else experienced this? If I do go to court I want to be for armed with knowledge that there are others out there in the same situation as me. I will be challenging the police with incompetencies in dealing with their admin systems. This is not going to be another case similar to those who were blamed at the post office in 2003
