Who is your interview with? PM me if you want details of my solicitor / more details

Solicitor; whilst I could have done myself it got my mind and articulation in the right place

Got a call today from SWT and we have settled: whole experience totalled £4500 but I cannot express how good their team have been. Yes this is part euphoria but also genuine statement of how they handled the case: gentle none judgemental and very very fair. Thank you all for you feedback and...

Quick update: 2 weeks on and no news yet; didn't want folk to think this was sorted and I'd simply gone: worried though; if court summons is that the delay (ie set date?) or is it more likely done significant maths is in progress? Perhaps both...

Completely Davenewcastle - and plan to pay both the debt owed and costs for trouble caused which I also stated at time of interview.

Thank you Murray; yes big relief though to their credit they were really kind and straight forward; far from gestapo interrogation I perhaps deserved. Will promise to keep you all posted on next outcomes

Ok interview done and they took a lot of notes and details; now comes a wait on a decision. I remain optimistic but done all I can. Been honest and frank

Thank you Murray; yes I've made bullet points of events before on day and since. I'm hoping these interviews are precisely that; an interview, discussion of events and circumstances, rather than interrogation to drive someone into doubt, confusion and self incrimination under pressure. If any...

He had my annual season card at time of caution; it's clear from that its more than a couple of journeys: and they can look me up quite easily to see if I have any older cards. So maybe staying shtum is best advice but I've told them the truth - and a frankly easy for them to find out

About 1500: and stated as such at first caution to RPO

Well; I'm completely in the wrong and admitted and apologised: for now little more I can do aside await interview and co-operate fully. Yes expecting admin charges to be high but I deserve that. Thank you all for your non- judgemental advice; really appreciate it; it's causing my family and I...

Inclined to agree; when first stopped I had stayed I had a 1/2 as I tend to travel more in town than out; the letter states it is an opportunity to state any mitigating factors concerning the alleged offence(s) and ensure SWT has all the facts at hand before coming to a decision regarding my...

I agree this is bad but rang next day and apologised and done again on accepting interview. Really want to settle

Agreed; already started saving. Inspector did tell me he had observed my journey even that I could have tapped an oyster but elected not to... When is the right time and how do I approach the question of settlement out of court? I feel end of interview is best timing perhaps?

I think it's fair to say there won't be much on the oyster cards. I have 2 as in a previous job the commute was reverse where I travelled through town out to zone6. It turned out I got surcharges because I switched between rail and tube; so was advised to use one for rail and one for tube...
