Hey all thanks.
I did provide them with my real details and gave them my driving license in the end. they ran a police check which bizarrly showed no record of me at my correct address, but i have lived there for 3 years so bizarre that. Anyway, they took my word for it, as my driving licence showed my true address. I have no worries on that front as I genuine do live here and are registered.
I appreciate that I deserve to face the consequences and I am prepared to willingly accept or offer an out of court settlement at whatever price they put it at. I would just like to think that given all the circs, my clean history and legal prospects etc, that it would be disproportionate to impose a conviction.
I understand my stupidity and know what i did was completely wrong, i guess its just one of those things in the heat of a moment, i took a chance, which i know regret completely.
I would appreciate any disparaging comments are left out please, I came for advice. Not criticism. I know exactly what I have done wrong and that I should be punished in some way.
Thanks
