I've always thought you had a 2 week NIP period for speed camera offences and upto 6 months NIP for being pulled over or done my a laser speed gun?
14 days for the notice of intended prosecution, which can be verbal if stopped on the side of the road, and if not, has to be in writing. problem is, if they claim to have sent it but you have not received it or responded to it. BUT, first thing you get by post in the Notice of intended prosecution, so if what you have received is not a NIP, it may be you were served before....? If it is, its outside the period. BUT this may also be a scam, so maybe worth cehcking with local plod!!
BTW, I am assuming this is an offence in the UK we are talking about, I've had stuff filtering through form Holland over many many months in the past, fines, for speeding when I was nto even there even!!

Dont ignore it that is a whole other offence.
Was there a valid reason for the NIP's late arrival?
(recently moved, vehicle recently acquired , or he is not the registered keeper) if so they can take longer than 14 days.
According to most speed related forums you write back via registered post along the lines of :
Following Legal advice, please note that the Notice cannot be acted upon as it is time-expired. For this Notice to have been valid, it ought to have been with me within 14 days of the alleged offence.
It was suggested I write back to you immediately with these comments.
And then wait for a response.

14 day period is only if you are the registered owner, does not apply if it is a company car/rental etc.
