Thanks again for everyone's comments. The reality was that the cash settlement needed to be paid to the prosecutor in order to get the dismissal. If it had been paid by card he would have just asked for adjournment until payment had cleared. It's over now, she's out of pocket but hopefully she...

Thanks for messages folks. Firstly we were advised that the rpi was delayed by a tube problem in London. Shortly after the prosecutor asked to see us. He went through the days events in fine detail and concluded that owing to the fact she'd shown her ticket to the rpi, even though she was...

Thanks so much Dave for all of this. I'm travelling down to the Midlands tonight to go through everything with her so I'll print this out and it will be our Bible.

Yep. Got that 700metres from the station. I wasn't going to speak for her. Didn't realise I could. She is preparing a statement of events and her defence in writing to either read or pass to the Magistrates. She's got no idea about cross examining the Inspector.

Got you. Thanks

Thanks all. She did offer to pay the difference between the ticket purchased and the full fare in reply to their demand but this appears to have been ignored. She only passed through the barrier when instructed to by the inspector to follow him. Up until that point she was going to go home...

She had one opportunity to conclude this when they sent the demand for £189 to which she responded including a copy of her railcard. As mentioned, this wasn't even acknowledged in subsequent communications and there seems to be a desire to force into court when it became clear extortion was...

She wasn't booked on a specific train. It was a supersaver return - return portion. She did intend on catching a certain train but she was missing that anyways and was prepared for having to get the next. She has said that she really struggled to understand the Inspector who had a very...

It does to me as well BB, but she is adamant that there is no more to it, and feels like its a stitch up, but that justice will prevail (naïve girl). She didn't send it recorded (which I would have advised her) but she has a copy of all correspondence sent and received. Her second letter...

She has the original, and the copy sent to the TOC in response to the first letter and it expires in JULY 2014. The alleged offence took place in October 2013.

So what constitutes attempting to travel? Passing the barrier, entering the station, or booking the taxi to the station the night before? Surely the barrier check did it's job and she realised her mistake and was going to go home and get the correctly compliant document, that is until the...

Yes it was still valid. She didn't keep the permit to travel after the journey. She's positive that she wasn't given anything or told by anyone that she had to act within a certain time frame. Merely wait for letter then send in copy of her permit. When she received first contact she did this...

There was no further mail came. She gave my Mums address where she lives during holidays and my Mum has verified no other letters

Hi bb can you move my reply out of premod plz? x
