    Court Case for Train Fare

    Yup, it’s all worked fair enough to be honest. While I originally got a letter at my permanent address demanding £300-odd, today they have told me it’s quashed completely. So I owe nothing and the whole matter is over. While it caused me some initial stress, an email to the court and a letter...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    No. The person I reckon it was lived in my shared house and actually ended up attacking me just before I moved out of there and began sofa surfing in London, all before I ended up here and settled. There is no way I could or would contact him, I would bet in fact by now he is in prison or...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    No, I would never ignore a summons. Goodness knows where they even sent that summons, I was moving around a lot at the time.

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Oh thank you I will do that. As for my "previous good character" - what the heck to they know about me? Very strange. Well I will not be bunking any trains anyway and in any case, I don't ever travel by this company as I never go that far down South - as I said before, never even...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    I have absolutely no idea. Getting information from them when I called up was difficult. I got very limited information. I don't know what happened, how that is even possible!? Really, I don't know.

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Thanks for all your words guys. As you see here; following my letter and email – the train company has dropped this case against me. Thanks.

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Thank you. I have never been to Portsmouth, so it wasn't me. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yes, I’m not going to claim to be a saint either, but I know I have never been to Portsmouth, that I know.

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Right, I heard about this via letter from the courts about the fine. I went to my local magistrates’ court in Liverpool and I put in the statutory declaration on 25th February. They asked me to plead – declare it wasn’t me on the train – I did, not guilty. Sorry I am being an idiot here...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    It sounds far fetched to me too. I have been given all this information from the court. So would someone have had to turn up and say they were me then for this to happen? Another thing I need to speak to them about. They aren’t very forthcoming with information to be honest. I got most of...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Thanks, I cannot find the letter, but I do have this information: Statutory Declaration granted in Liverpool Magistrates Court on 25/02/2014 - I knew nothing of this - was staying with a friend at the time. Hearing date 10/03/2015 - I cannot get to this and have written to the court to...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Thank you - I did not make any purchases that day or use my card unfortunately, I have looked into that. All I know is I was not in Portsmouth as I have never been there, but can't remember what I was doing.

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Hi, thanks for replying. It's from the court. There is a hearing on 10th March and I've been advised to ask the court to excuse me from proceedings - in London - as I can't get there. I will upload the letter later yes thank you. I’m also writing to the TOC to ask what evidence they...

    Court Case for Train Fare

    Hello, so I received a court fine notice to my new address up in Liverpool from a train fare – apparently bunked – in Portsmouth and they’re taking me to court. I’ve never been to Portsmouth in my life and at the time of this alleged offence I was living in a shared house. I guess someone used...
