Thanks Old-CodJA we've been through a lot n i want to thank u again. Its just that i am studying and don't want to damage my future career chances (civil engineering). But thanks again n trully appreciated. Im going this monday and get it sorted

ohhhhhhhhhhhh thanks for that...considering that i am a student, how much do u think the fine + compensation would be. Also i want to no if i am convicted to pay up, would they give me a criminal record. and if so, is this criminal record forever, because a friend of mine had a criminal record that lasted 6 years but for a different crime.

Its from the Wimbledon Magistrates, and doesn't clearly state who its from, but there's also another page saying me vs Transport For London, so i presume its from tfl. So the £100 is for the court alone, and if i plead guilty and dont attend court would i still need to pay them £100 ps. im sorry, ive never studied law

Thank for that so much... i appreciate it, but i also got another question if i was to write to tfl, what address would i send it to, and considering that i am a student approx how much do u think the fine is. N once again much appreciated . And also if i plead guilty striaght away, pay the £100, what next

So Basically are u sayin that i wont be given a CRIMINAL record, just a fine

Sorri i dnt no which 1 im doin, but they sent me a summons letter, statin that i would have 2 appear in court. Or i can send the letter of pleading guilty, there fore im not needed to actually attend the court If this helps its the Wimbledon Magistrates court- baring in my i have alredi been given a caution for this case

sorry im new 2 dis forum fing, dis was ma first time, so dat means dat i dnt really no wot threads merged means, or how 2 do it sorii yh

fanks 4 da replyy but daoes dat mean i wuld get a criminal record, although i gt the fine

Hey i hope som1 out there can help me. Its the oyster cards n im soooooooooo confused. I was applying for a student oyster card, but there was no application forms so you had 2 do it through the net, but there system was down. So i decided to borrow my girlfriends for 1 week to use it 2 travel 2 uni. N nowing my luck, they caught me. The police cautioned me with only 1 charge, which is fraudery. n i gt copies of that cation. But now a month later they postd me a letter sayin i have 2 appear in court, and must pay £100.... although I payed the fair need, but under her card. I dnt mind da caution or the £100, but im wonderin wuld they give me a criminal record. N if yes how much wuld it last 4, bcz i heard it can expire or somfin But plzzzzz i beg of u help, i have 2 b at court on da 7 may
