There is no issue whatsoever. I deal in cars, DVLA send letters like that to warn people who don’t have insurance. There is a £100 or more fine as well on second stage for not insuring the vehicle after the first notice. But it never is a criminal offence equal to driving a car without insurance. Hope that helps.Bdekers wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:50 pmHi everyone,
I was hoping someone can enlighten me and help me make a decision in regards to applying for BC.
Last 2017, I received a letter stating “Further steps notice” on the header of the letter from HMCTS Kent Surrey and Sussex Enforcement Business Centre. I have not received any other notice aside from this. Apparently “On 08/11/2017, you were the person in whose name a vehicle, namely MOTOR VEHICLE xxxxxx was registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 when it did not meet the insurance requirements of section 144A of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Contrary to section 144A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
Apparently a letter was sent to my old address (we moved house on 16/11/2017). So summons were sent to the old address too. The car was my old car and forgot to renew the insurance in time as It was not being used and lost track of the renewal date.
I have paid the fine the day I received the letter from the Enforcement team.
My question is: Can I apply for naturalisation now? I got my ILR January 2018? Or i have to wait for 3 years since the day of the offence?
Thank you for your help.xx

A fine counts as a criminal conviction and forms part of someone’s criminal record. Fines must be declared and may result in refusal if received within the last three years. Failure to declare may result in an application being refused on the grounds of deception.
The so-called similar link you sent is not similar at all! In your example the offender was driving the car without insurance, got caught by police, convicted and received 6 penalty points along with a financial penalty fine. Driving a car without insurance is a criminal offence, whereas having a car without insurance is not! "Any vehicle should be insured even stationary" is pretty new law just introduced and enforced fairly recently about 5 years ago. But it is never treated the same way as driving the car without insurance!Zimba wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 1:15 amA fine will be treated as a criminal conviction under the Good Character requirement guidelines. The view that it is just a £100 fine is not accurate. I also posted a link to an identical case of refusal above
