Hi there, I saw your thread , as I was I have had a similar experience myself and had some good advice on this board, so thought I would chip in with my two pence worth in the hope that it might help. I made a mistake and found myself facing the same situation, and rather than wait to see...

Hi All, I thought I would post an update, maybe it'll help someone else who finds themselves in a similar predicament in the future. Having called the prosecution team a couple of weeks ago, I have now received a call back. I have to admit I was surprised by how helpful the guy who called me...

Well, a big thanks to everyone who has given their input. I guess the only thing I can do is see how it plays out and hope for the best. For the benefit of others who may be in a similar situation in the future, I will update this thread as and when the situation progresses. Thanks again...
