OK. It is painful every time saying this but some more details. I had an annual season ticket costing approx £3400 coming up for expiry. I was in severe financial difficulty at that time so when my ticket expired I crudely and amateurishly amended the date to give me an extra year’s ticket...

Thanks for your replies. The situation now looks more likely to be a conviction under the Fraud Act. Does anyone know what detail is shown on a conviction - in other words when someone does a DBS check, will it just say "Fraud Conviction" or will it say "Fraud Conviction for using an...

Hello all, I have already been interviewed under caution and am not trying to get out of it. Its probably an open and shut case for the TOC or BTP. However, should i still write a letter to the TOC Prosecution manager that interviewed me to try and settle out of court as a a court...
