wrong name on the fixed charge

Nocrime

I was stop for using my mobile during driving.
But the letter I receive has different name on it.
So, I presume Gardai just made a technical mistake.
I ignore all the letters there after.
Now what consequences it may have?

Where you on the phone while driving?


If so, stop being tight.. Pay the fine and learn your lesson and don't do it again/get a hands free kit.

Cant do so. They told me in the Garda station that the person who stooped me will contact me to fix the error but he never did. I said screw this i have three kids and im very busy man. No tim to run there and back between Garda stations. If they cant do they job properly let them pay this fine.
(name and second name are totally wrong)

You will receive a summons and you can explain that f*** that story to a judge.

You broke the law, take the punishment. If you knock someone down and they die because you are a very busy man on your mobile phone.....good luck to you.

Hi Nocrime...I dont understand something here. If you received a letter, was that not in your name?

If it goes to court it'll get thrown out. There's not many people that wouldn't be delighted to get away with it,

Address is right, thats all that will matter so the summons can be sent out.

Seeing as you are a busy man i you try and pre book that day off :pac:

If it's completely the wrong name, what will happen if nobody shows up in court? Presumably "Lynyrd Skynyrd" will get an arrest mandate, when the Guards show up, "No one here by that name, sorry"

This happened me personally. My surname was one letter off.

I live in louth and my speeding offence happened in clare. I didn't fancy trekking the whole way back down to contest it in court, so decided just to pay up.

When I went to the post office to pay, it was refused because the name on the FPN didn't match the name on my licence and they gave me a slip to confirm this. I brought this down to my local garda station and explained what happened.

They gave me the number of ennis garda traffic corps, and the gardas name so I rang and explained. After he heard that i'd attempted to pay up, he told me to take it as a warning and he'd strike the notice.

I haven't had a run in with the guards since

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a thread here recently where a member sat in observing a District Court sitting and whenever the excuse that the charge had the wrong ID on it, the judge ordered it to be corrected?

The garda can apply for an amendment and it's up to the judge if he grants it. I was warned that could happen me whilst sorting out my wrong FPN.

Out of interest, If my name is John Smith and a summons for Ted Baker arrives in my front door, why would I be going to.court at all instead of returning to.sender?

So...do you often open other peoples mail? If I receive a letter to my address with another name, it's a return to sender job. Nosey bestaerd.

Maybe you should reread OP's post ....OP didn't get ANY summons, so he has no need to go anywhere.......some other guy with a different name did.

OP should thank his lucky stars, and chalk it up to Karma.....and then get a hands-free kit......
