they replied back with a letter dated the 30th november
they said as it was a first offence. i would need to pay £5.30 (fare) plus £95 admin costs.
My own fault and tbh i think i probably got off lightly.
i've posted it special delivery. so they should get it tomorrow.
do you reckon they'll respond via email or do you reckon they'll send me another letter
what happens after i post it?
i included my email address and asked if they could communicate via email as it's quicker and more effiecent?
have they been known to do this? or is it all snail mail?
i got the letter finally. although it's dated 23rd november and says i have to respond within 7 days so i have written a letter and i will post it special delivery tomorrow. is this a good idea? it's going to a po box
my response to them is....
I didn't buy a ticket on the {date} from...
i tried to call the penalty fares number to pay the penalty fare, but they said it wasn't a penalty fare, it was an "MG11" and i needed to wait for the letter
how long does it normally take roughly for the letter to turn up?
if it's an rora do they do a criminal records check or do they base...
it was a real address, just a false name.
what about if i have a criminal record already for an offence commited about 8 years ago for using a dodgy travelcard
yeah i gave them the correct address
but i didn't get any paperwork
basically as they were reading the rights they said you are free to leave at any time so i left?
i got on the train and didn't buy a ticket as i normally get one on the train
there wasn't a conductor on the train so when i got off there were conductors waiting to "nab people"
basically i didn't get a ticket
then offered to pay the penalty fine but the inspector said she needed to "caution" me
it wasn't british transport police
does this count as a criminal offence?
