Yes i understand now. It will not happen again. Definitely learnt a big lesson from this

I cant wait to receive my receipt. I do feel relieved and i learnt a hard lesson, that in life you have to take responsibility, for travel plans ive told all my friends the seriousness of it. Yea i cant belive it was £50. Reading other peoples threads i thought it wpuld be more. --- old post...

It was for £50 May be he meant this was a warning. But he dis say he would put a stop to a prosecution letter being sent to me. I would receive a receipt in the post. Im just glad this got sorted out early.

Hi all The matter has been settled spoke to a really nice guy on the phone. I paid an amount which is a penalty warning. I am happy about that to make this all go away. Thanks for everyones advise --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I told the solicitor who said that...

Hi all, A solicitor agrees. I would rather just settle this out of court. I learnt my lesson check validity of ticket before travel. Im not sure how many people have been in my situation?! But its so stressful and my life feels at a standstill.

Yes it is difficult to get people to spell my name. No one can spell it first time around. I think people should be given the benefit of the doubt if they give shortened names. Its still their name. In my case i was asked i need to provide my full name so i did. I dont understand how its...

Thanks Dave. You seem adamant so i will.

Hi Dave, I understand what you have said. But honestly i have nothing to hide. If this goes to court i can prove everything i have said. If the toc want to prosecute me after they have read my letter then i take comfort in knowing that i have not lied. If i am sent a summons then i most...

yes sorry about that. its not suitable to go into detail about it on here.

no you wont be able to use it on any utility bill. you have to give your full name. anyway when i was asked for my full name i gave it. thus its irrelevant as i was not under any caution or threat to give it, i was just stupid enough to not know the severity of the issue and did not know my...

No he did not make a phonecall. I gave it right at the beginning. By the time he made a 'phone call' he had the correct full name --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Also I received a letter with the intention to prosecute

Its deceitful if you are asked to give your full name and you insist its that. But i gave my full name as soon as i was asked. Im not trying to get out of paying my fare, im more than happy to pay i pay very other day that im using public transport. Just this day i used my oyster card on the...

He was dressed smart. I think may be a suit. But he was dressed in smart clothing

Thanks all for the advise. When i was asked for my full name i gave it. The inspector wrote that initially i gave my abbreviated name as thats what im known as. Can i restate the inspector never showed me any id. I know that some of you are stressing that he is an official, fair enough, but any...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your kindness. How do you approach a out of court settlement? Do you do this as soon as you receive the letter for the intention to prosecute ? I will let you know the outcome.

Sorry. I am just stressed of getting convicted for giving a 'false name'. I found out that this is a crime, even if it was not my intention. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I have definitely learnt from my experience. What hurts is that this experience could ruin my career...
