Hi Speaking as someone who has gone through this exact same scenario. I would wait for the letter (mine arrived in 4 weeks) before doing anything! I got great advice from people on my thread like is happening with this thread. I was fortunately provided the opportunity to explain myself. What I...

Hi All I know when I was interviewed by the Revenue Protection Inspector he said he would need to take my ticket so they can put it through the machine to see how many times it was reused. They know!! I guess the reason why they want me to propose a fare to pay is so that I do all the...

Thanks DaveNewcastle for your comprehensive response and also yourself najaB gray1404 I'm not sure why that is the case but maybe someone else can shed light on that...

Hello All I heard back from them and they said to call them. I finally got through to them today and they talked about an out of court settlement. I now need to email them back about how much I would be willing to pay. They cannot state how much I should pay. However they did say that if...

Okay all, please take a look at a draft letter I have composed to be sent to the Prosecutions department and please, please, please be honest about my response. I am aware I may have overegged my response but what I have said is honest and truthful and gushing with remorse for what I have done...

Hi Thanks so much for your responses. Over the weekend I am going to work on composing a factual and unreservedly apologetic letter stating why I did it. Once I have done my draft I will post on here. I hope those with experience of such matters see this post and offer their expertise, it would...

Right all. I had a letter waiting for me last night from the Prosecutions Department. It's the Notice of intention to prosecute. I did not sleep well at all last night and rightly so for what I stupidly did. They have asked me to be factual and honest. Of course, I am going to be honest. This...

455driver and najab thanks for that. It sounds somewhat reassuring that that would be taken into consideration as I thought they would be more black and white about it. I really hope ( i know I keep banging on about this) it is a fine related offence. I will 100% cooperate and do whatever it...

Thanks all for your feedback. 455driver and najaB. I will sit tight and wait for the letter to come through. I believe it will be at least 2 months before I hear anything so it won't be easy. I wish I could just go back in time and change what has occurred, but what's happened has happened. I...

Thanks all again for your advice. 455driver & najab. I will sit tight and wait until the letter comes and act accordingly. I really do hope it's a fine and nothing else but after getting up to speed with this post it could go so many different ways. I will try to not worry until the letter...

Thanks for your advice 455 driver. I take it when I receive the dreaded letter I should get in touch with a solicitor too! Even if your last comment was a dig. I wouldn't be offended at all. I deserve that. I would not be quick to defraud anyone. What I did was stupid and I took a...

Hello, Thanks for all your input. Would you all agree with Clip and recommend that I best wait for that dreaded letter to come through before doing anything. I feel so bad about this and I really don't want to get a criminal record for being so stupid. I am starting to save already. Thanks...

Yes i'm an idiot. I was travelling from Baldock to Kings Cross. Anything I can do to avoid going to court/getting a criminal record I will happily do. I will never ever do this again. Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello I stupidly reused a Carnet Pass for a couple of days. When using a gel pen the ink wipes of so I reused it and I was pulled up by an inspector for improper usage today. I admitted not guilty to him as lots of commuters were within earshot. Can you please advise what I should do? I...
