    Court Summons next month

    "I then realised that, unusually, I had some cash with me." Is what I wrote in my final letter sent most recent to TIL written as a brief explanation. The reason I had enough money to pay for the ticket (but couldn't personally afford) was because I borrowed some from a family friend whom I live...

    Court Summons next month

    But why would XC tell me after explaining the who situation and incident to them that it was an UPFN I was issued... at this time I had no idea what an UPFN looked like or what an MG11 was or what a Zero-Fare ticket was... I described what I had in my hand and they told me UPFN. Would this be...

    Court Summons next month

    Does this mean that I have to attend the hearing and plead not guilty, or will my written plea of NOT guilty do this for me, so that I would not have to attend the hearing personally? With regard to the Clerk, can I just call Cheltenham Magistrates and ask them? Does the witnesses that I...

    Court Summons next month

    But what you have quoted there is not what I said, I didn't say that I didn't have the money, I said that I could not afford that sum, at that time. I thought that might have meant something different :(

    Court Summons next month

    I was under the impression that XC would contact me themselves informing me of what would happen next, as told by the ticket inspector. I thought that this would have been the verification letter, but I didn't get a letter from them. Instead I got a letter from TIL, and this was the first I had...

    Court Summons next month

    Only due to the ticket inspector waking me, had he not I would have probably slept further. I do not have a record of the call as my phone company cannot provide records beyond either 30 days or 3 months because they simply do not keep them... I am unsure as to which but either way it is...

    Court Summons next month

    If you read the other posts, you will have seen that I have stated numerous times that I phoned XC, numerous times, I phoned IRCAS, numerous times, getting passed back and forth, numerous times. All I have done since the day it happened is try to pay for the full fare due! I did not receive this...

    But if I plead NOT guilty. Will the hearing date be changed? I have an exchange visitor visa...

    Court Summons next month

    You're certain it is 12 months? Would this affect me going to the US in May? I already have my visa, and if I plead not guilty will the hearing date be changed? I will have to provide dates which I am not available to be in court which would be from May - September.

    Court Summons next month

    So if I can get my friend(s) to write up a statement - they sign it - scan it and send it over to me, then I send them over to TIL along with a final letter of apology and to settle out of court this may help? Given the time between now and the court hearing though (11th April) is difficult...

    Court Summons next month

    My friend would be able to provide a statement, but the time of the hearing collides with work. Would he have to appear in court with me or could he give a written statement? It would also be difficult for the friend I was supposed to meet in Sheffield to appear in court also. He too is in...

    Court Summons next month

    Just what the ticket inspector said in his witness statement 'I spoke with Mr XXXXXX XXXXXX and he explained that the fares were too expensive to travel back to Sheffield and that he was going to ask a uni mate from Bristol to give him a lift home'. What I actually said to him though was "I...

    Court Summons next month

    But the journey I intended to make was to Sheffield, which a ticket was purchased for. Then falling asleep. If I had gotten of at Cheltenham as he suggested and got the train back to Sheffield which he wrote down the times for, would have been too expensive for me to afford - how would I have...

    Court Summons next month

    I completely understand this - just as I've said to TIL in each letter I have written, I've also said that I would pay any costs & admin fees and anything else they see fit... But they just won't budge for an out of court settlement. I am tempted to write one more letter and send it to both TIL...

    Court Summons next month

    Is it just me though as the OP that is seriously thinking that something, somewhere along the lines, has gone seriously wrong somewhere? I mean besides me not getting off at Cheltenham when I was given the opportunity. But then what would have stopped me from getting off at Cheltenham and just...

    Court Summons next month

    Not as of yet, this is new news for me... Would this be worth suggesting to TIL before sending off the Plea form and financial circumstances to the Cheltenham Magistrates Court? If they do have proof of posting, then what should I do in terms of 'taking it up with the Post Office'?

    Court Summons next month

    Can you expand on that please... I am aware that once CrossCountry have passed the matter over to TIL that they act on behalf of XC - The next part you speak of I am struggling to understand - sorry :|

    Court Summons next month

    But what would their proof of me actually receiving them be? What would happen if they did send them, but they got lost in the post?

    Court Summons next month

    Would my emails stating that, that is all I want to do (pay the ticket/fine - whatever it is) be enough? As I am unable to get records of calls, but in my emails I did say which numbers I have called and not gotten anywhere. Would their proof have to come from a 'tracked postage'? But am...
