as for Nick's advice, I think because you didn't know about your NIP then they assumed you'd blanked them and done you for it
I'd be tempted to fill the form in and not sign it, I don't know how the Courts get away with this anyway as you're self incriminating, maybe another area for a clever lawyer to look at (or is this where Mr Loophole gets all his clients off on the technicality?)
No,it wasn't that. They accepted that I didn't know about it because I was just in the process of moving when the NIP was issued. I had to go into a police station for something, think it was to do with an accident I'd been involved in, and then got told about the warrant that had been issued.
When I went to court, they didn't even mention the fact that I hadn't replied to the NIP - I did go to a police station voluntarily after all about something totally unconnected - just did what they normally would have done.
