Hi OP, Having been in a similar position myself earlier in the year, I hope I can offer advice (see my thread "misuse of annual gold card"). When I was interviewed by the TOC, they quickly established that there are two sorts of ticket misuse in their eyes - opportunistic, and premeditated...

Hi everyone, Firstly, thanks for everyone's input regarding my scenario - it was much appreciated. Secondly, I have an update! In the last couple of days, following a face to face interview (which I did not expect?), I have managed to settle with the TOC. It's stung me for a pretty big...

Thanks everyone, This has been very helpful. I guess the best thing to do is to now wait to be contacted by the TOC and take it from there. If I may, I will ask for further advice then? Thanks again all those who responded.

Thank you for your input Dave, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by the above - can you explain in a little more detail? I would be interested to hear your opinion on the likely outcome of my incident, as you also seem very knowledgeable in these sorts of cases, if I may ask? here's...

Thank you - and yes, this is my first offence. They checked that during the cautionary interview and found it to be true. I won't be pushy, and will (rightly) be apologetic/contrite - but how do you suggest I word the offer of a settlement?

bnm- thank you, that is reassuring. Island - thank you for your continued posts. That is what I'm hoping - that the private settlement, which will be more than the maximum court fine, will be an incentive for them to ask me to pay to avoid them taking me to court - unless I am...

Thanks Island - in the best and inbetween cases, does this include a criminal conviction? I presume the worst case does, under the RORA? I am prepared to pay any costs to settle this - I realise that isn't my choice. Thanks Naja - yes, just before Christmas. I just remembered that when...

Thanks everyone - So based on the facts, may I have your opinions on a likely outcome? here's a reminder: I came into possession of an annual ticket valid from sept 14 (worth £2.6k) that was not my own and used it. I was stopped, cautioned and told to expect a letter to explain myself...

Thank you for your replies everyone, If this helps, after questioning, it was clear there had been multiple use - I knew they could check. Although this incident appears to be an obvious RoRA, the revenue inspector definitely said I would receive a letter where I should explain myself. Also...

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies so far - it is much appreciated. To clarify, it was Southern (not tube related at all). They know it wasn't a one off - I was very honest with the guy because I thought lying further would just aggravate the situation. And I knew they would check...

Hi everyone, I'm really hoping someone can help me, as I'm very worried about what happened to me the other day. First of all, I have done something really stupid, and I make no excuses. For about 7 years, I have purchased weekly or monthly travel cards to come into London. Before...
