Hi I am new to this site, please be gentle.
May 2016, I received notice of intended prosecution (38 in 30). I returned the acceptance for speed awareness. Had to pay before I was able to book a date. I had no money to be able to pay the day I called the office. I was told I had 28 days to get onto the course. That 28 days has now been and no speed awareness was paid for. I have no real explanation why I didn't pay, apart from recently given birth with financial worries, I pushed it to the back of all my other issues I had going on at the time and I am now summonsed to attend 01/03.2017.
I have been visiting family and arrived back today leaving no real time to sort this out. I have tried to plead online my URN is invalid, my only option is guilty by post. Advice on mitigating circumstances please I understand what I need to include but I really can't put pen to papers.
Also I need to ask if I can pay what ever fine I get over a longer period as I am still claiming income support, Do I tell them I am single parent? 2 young dependants? Studying part time evening course and volunteering 3 days a week in a school?
I also have a clear driving license and I have been driving nearly 14 years.
I would be so so grateful if anyone would help me please.
Many thanks
