Wrong railcard prosecution letter

[olliec1234]

Hi all,

I’m 21 and I used the wrong rail card to make my train journeys cheaper through the uber app. I used the job saver + railcard as it was the cheapest and have never had an actual railcard. I got the Orpington to London Bridge train and it cut it down from £16.30 to £8 a day.

I got caught after doing it 37 times in June and was given a fine which I paid on the spot. It’s now October and I have just gotten a letter saying they may press charges (photo attached). But I haven’t done it since then

I’ll happily pay whatever I owe I just don’t want to have a criminal record.

I haven’t replied to their letter yet and will do soon, i have written out a draft letter accepting responsibility and asking for it to be an out of court settlement. Do I send it?

Please help me asap I’m really scared.

Welcome to the forum.

Your letter doesn't seem to be attached: unless that's our settings delaying it, please have another go, although make sure you hide anything that identifies you. That way we'll know exactly what you are being asked about.

And we can comment more on your proposed reply if you show us that - so please show us your draft!

OP originally posted it but in unredacted form, so it was removed...
