Today, I got a letter summoning me to court for leaving the scene of a car accident I had in London. I live in Manchester and don't own a car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my court date for a car accident I was involved in back in July. I had spent months preparing a case to prove my innocence. I was scheduled to appear at 10:00 this morning. I woke up at 10:15AM. FML
Today, I was finally discharged from hospital after being in there for one month, I arrive home to find a letter from a debt collection agency for my unpaid car insurance premium, and another letter from my car insurer to say that they aren't covering my accident due to non payment of premium. FML
Today, I got a call from the police informing me that my car was involved in an accident outside my house. At least I can prove I was in another continent when it happened. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket in the mail. I don't have a car. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I got home from working abroad for eight months and opened my post. I'm being taken to court over three parking tickets my mom didn't tell me she'd gotten using my car. If we lose, my credit score is affected for six years. FML
Today, I got into an accident, driving pretty slowly on a left turn signal trying to avoid a curb, sticking it out for too long, breaking a car's sideview mirror and causing scratches. The police was called. I have to appear in court for a misdemeanour for my first offence ever. Good bye student visa. FML
Today, after moving back in with my parents, I found out they had held on to a chunk of mail still being sent during the time I had been changing my old address. Included was a summons to jury duty. FML
Today, I got called out of class to talk to some cops. Turns out my car was involved in a hit and run accident, while I was in school and there was no possible way it could have been me. But since they have no one else, it's my fault. FML
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Really not that serious, should be easy to prove in court

Of course, you don't own a car. You ditched it in London after the accident, then fled to Manchester. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure that one out.

I once had a car accident attributed to me which occurred in Bath, I had not and still have never been there. Even though I told the insurance company this twice they still paid up and it still shows on my record (although as a no fault accident following a significant complaint). It sounds like someone either got the number wrong when they took the number of the actual car or your number has been cloned.

OP said he doesn't own a car, so how can witnesses have written it down incorrectly, or thieves have cloned plates that don't exist? The most likely explanation for this is mistaken identity. OP probably received a summons for someone with the same name, who may also live in the same city. If OP isn't registered with whatever the British equivalent of the DMV is, and can prove they have no documents confirming car ownership, he should be able to make this right.

Oops, I need to read more closely. That does change it a bit. It looks like someone may be using their identity details as if they received something for someone else then their details would not be on the DMV computers for that error to occur.

It was a combination of the twin your mother never told you about, all of the public surveillance cameras in London, and facial recognition software. 😂
