Hi, I just wanted to give an update on my case. Thankfully, TFL have agreed to not continue a prosecution against me. I had to pay a small fine and sign a letter that I will not re-offend. The letter was a warning letter however it is not the same as a police warning, it is only stored on TFL databases. I had to send my mitigating circumstances on 3 separate occasions and because there’s no longer a direct phone line to speak to the prosecutor, I was emailing every other week requesting further information on my case and whether my new evidence had been reviewed. I believe this only worked out with prayers because they rejected my mitigating circumstances twice with more or less the same information. I would also like to thank everyone here for their support throughout this process. It has been a horrible journey to say the least I have definitely learnt my lesson.

Hi, I received an email today from TFL stating that they are not persuaded that in my case there are any exceptional circumstances that would persuade them to discontinue a prosecution. Namely that I didn’t provide any evidence for a criminal record affecting my career choice as a teacher and now I don’t know what to do.

I was thinking that if I delay signing the paper, it might mean I’ll have a later court date therefore more time to convince TFL to not prosecute. I’m not sure if this is logical but this is what I was thinking. Also, I’ve sent an email and letter by post today. I’m starting to get concerned that they haven’t received my first letter, so I took both routes as a precaution. If I don’t hear a response soon, I’ll be sending another letter with better grovelling. So far I haven’t lost hope yet. I’d like to thank you all again for your help through this.

Okay, I haven’t filled out the form yet. Is it best to delay it or do it as soon as possible? Also, I haven’t been able to get a hold of IAP. Apparently they don’t have a contact number. Does anyone know how I can contact them through the phone? I’ve seen some threads where people were able to contact the prosecutors via phone.

Oh okay, I understand now, thank you. I feel like court without my presence would not turn out in my favour, so I’m hoping that’s not the case here.

So if it is not taken to court, can they still give me a criminal record?

I’m sorry, I’m not too sure what ‘being heard on papers’ means, can you explain this to me please?

I’ve been struggling to find a contact number or email. Who am I meant to be contacting? And what are good things for me to say? I’ve been looking through threads but I’m also struggling to find templates of letters written to tfl after receiving an SJP notice. could you please help me with this? I’ve called TFL’s prosecution line but they’re only open mon-fri 4pm. So I have to wait until Monday, is it worth drafting an email in the meantime and sending it to them? Until 4pm sorry. That was a mistake

Hi, I just received a letter for single justice procedure notice. I need to make a plea which I intend to plead guilty. Should I be sending a letter and calling TFL?

Okay that’s great thanks for letting me know. kind regards bottle

I intend on sending the email today, if anyone has anything I should add or change please let me know. Sincere thanks for all your help I would also still like the pdf to be removed. I can type up the relevant information instead kind regards bottle

Okay thank you, I will include this. Also do you think it’s appropriate of me to ask to settle out of court? I did this right at the end of my letter

The pdf named Document 8 tfl

Okay thank you. At the moment I’m looking into many different career prospects, such as tech, cybersecurity, even considering teaching. How can I remove a document I sent?

I have only used it once
