Yes I had it signed and stamped in a solicitors office, and then it has to be sent to the courts. I've sent it via recorded delivery (and it was delivered 9am today), so now i ned confirmation that they have actioned it. On the form it clearly states: the defendants declaration can be made...

The stat dec was delivered this morning at 9am. I called the courts first thing (I can't call lavender hill directly, it goes to a generic courts number) and the woman i spoke to said I will hear in 24 hours from the court confirming that it has been actioned, if not i need to call back. I...

Thanks for the advice. I've sent the email, hopefully it can't hurt?? Can't wait for this nightmare to be over, thank you and everyone for your help so far!

The courts haven't supplied me with any of the correspondence; I never received the SJP notice and so cannot reply to it. I've requested all the correspondence from SJP and theyve said i need to get it from the courts, which I have requested. The SJP have massively mislead me on this and I wish...

Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, it would be after the dust has settled (if at all). This has absolutely been the most stressful experience of my life, so once it's settled I probably will just want to forget about it and go to sleep for a week... The outcome that I want is to just get it...

UPDATE Today I submitted a new statutory declaration form with a solicitors signature and posted it to the court where I was convicted without my knowledge. I will call tomorrow to confirm they have received the form and that they will be resetting the case. I was unable to see a solicitor...

I had a valid ticket, the staff at the underground scanned it with a handheld device and confirmed I had 1 month's travel card on it. but It hadn't been validated for travel, i.e. I hadn't tapped in at Hackney. I will post any updates after the visit to the solicitors

Hello, I didn't even realise I'd been interviewed... I gave the man at the station my contact details as he asked for them and he just made a few notes. I explained what had happened at the previous station, however when I called the courts today to find out what had been recorded they told me...

So i have been charged with being in a compulsory ticket area without a valid ticket. Under byelaw 17 (1) of the TFL railway byelaw made under paragraph 26 of schedule 11 to the Greater London authority act 1999, and confirmed under section 67 of the transport act 1962. The declaration has been...

Update: when I rang the courts they submitted a statutory declaration on my behalf, so unfortunately I think I need to go to court and could then be asked to plea. Is there a chance tfl will settle with me out of court before I have to do this?

I haven't asked them for anything yet, I was going to call one in London that would offer free advice and ask them to do the form, do you think that's right? I think I meant I understand why tfl would have sent me the originally fine (the first letter in December came from them), and if I'd...

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it and it's helping to put my mind at ease. I really was never attempting to dodge a fare, and the station I came from had barriers I was just allowed to go through as the man could see I was desperate (if only I could have known it would all...

Seems like it's fine for someone else to use it, but I wouldn't have any rights to it etc?

Unfortunately she had to say it was hers to get the refund, she then transferred the money to me. I couldn't apply for a refund as it was registered in her name. Thank you for sharing these paragraphs, thats a little more reassuring

I had no idea you couldn't use an oyster registered to someone else... My flatmate had a spare one (she would let visitors use it when they came to stay) and she'd given it to me when I'd lost my own. Is it illegal to use someone else's cars?

Unfortunately the card has been lost/ thrown away since then; I was able to get a new one and a partial refund, but it was registered to my flat mate, not me. My partner suggested that I use my bank statement of that month as evidence to show I paid £153 to TFL within 1 month of the incident...

It was a zone 1-3 travel card; I was living in zone 3 but had stayed at my partners in Hackney the night before, so was travelling in from zone 2

In August 2018 i travelled from hackney to Liverpool st without validating my Oyster card. I had a 1 months travel card on my Oyster, but at hackney it wouldn't scan because it had become so old and bent. I pleaded with the staff member as I was late for work, he let me through, shrugging, and...
