I am older than 18. The letter doesnt state any of the two offences but I dont know if they told me when they talked to me, I didnt get everything because of the language. it says that this interview will give me chance to state any mitigating factor, that I may wish to attend with legal representative or family member. If I fail to attend formal procedure will follow. Everything will be recorded. I did not realise how bad it was, I wouldnt have risked something like that. I am going to loose job and I wont find anything else. I will be done...and for a train ticket. They wont believe I made a mistake and probably they observed me, they said I have done for 12 months and I replied I dont know. If this makes things worse, I will apologize to each of them for this shameful mistake and I will beg for a settlement. I never had any problem with the law, I wont stand a chance in court, Im not english I dont know anything about it, the language and how to speak in law terms and with a criminal record which I didnt know you could get with this I will loose everything.

Many thanks for you answer. It's next week, I would like to ask him if I can anticipate it or postpone it as that day I wont be able to go because of work but Im fully aware of the seriousness and fully cooperative I am terrified. I am scared they wont accept my apologies to all of them and my pay back of any looses they had, without going to the court.

Hi, many thanks for your time, I am extremely sorry for what happened and grateful if someone could help me. Unfortunately I did not get the full coverage with my ticket for my journey to work which was a mixture of oyster card and train ticket, the oyster card should have been zone 1-6 and it was 1-2 instead and I had the train ticket for last 2 stations of my journey An inspector caught me, I gave him my correct details and I tried to explain I didnt know it was not correct and that I was very sorry. He also asked me more questions,like since when I did it assuming it was for 12 months, I answered I didnt remember honestly I didnt sign the report because im not english, I was very scared and not fully understanding After a month a received a letter from the prosecution department, for the second interview. I got this letter after two weeks as I wasnt home and now I am trying to call the inspector or the department but one goes to voicemail (I left couple of messages), the department doesnt pick up. I just wanna confirm the interview (which should be next week) and get the chance on the phone to say how deeply (and I'd add i am genuinely) sorry I am for this massive and shameful mistake. I dont know what to do, I have never had problems with law and its very shameful that I made such a awful mistake, I am already punishing myself enough so no need for nasty comments ((( I cant manage to talk to them even to confirm the interview and Im extremely worried I will end up in court with a criminal record which will destroy everything good I have done so far. I dont know much about uk law and I dont fully understand the legal terms. Please could somebody give me some tips ?
