Can I change my mind after accepting an endorsable fixed penalty in Northern Ireland?
PSNI's guidance currently refers to completing Part 3 and forwarding it within 21 days in that situation. If payment has already been made, PSNI says arrangements can be made for a refund when the case moves to court.
Do not assume the deadline restarts because you changed your mind. Act quickly and use the contact details on the notice if you are unsure which part must be returned.
Once the case is before the court, the court determines the allegation and any sentence if there is a conviction.
Police fixed penalties and camera notices are not private debts. Read the response deadline carefully, comply with any separate legal requirement to identify the driver, and use the court-hearing route if you genuinely dispute an allegation that cannot be resolved administratively.
