My boyfriend took my freedom pass without me knowing and used it to get on the bus. An inspector came on and his details have been taken down. He used the freedom pass as we are struggling financially, he ran out of money and had no other way to get to work. He's a chef so if he calls in sick he doesn't get paid as he is paid hourly. I am disabled and my boyfriend provides for me, so not going to work for one day would have a massive blow on our rent/food money along with my medical expenses (private therapy as still on nhs waiting list) Before he used the freedom pass, his mum paid for him to get a new bike because she knew we were struggling. The bike arrived the same day before he used the freedom pass, but it was dismantled and he couldn't put it together and used freedom pass as a last resort I understand this isn't an excuse, and it was very stupid of him to do it. He can also prove all of the above When they write to him to ask for a defence, will explaining this do anything? Or is he likely to go to court/pay a ton of money? When writing the letter, what should it contain? I really hope he doesn't go to court or have to pay a lot of money, we are already struggling so much and it would make things so unbearable. Maybe he should be asking these questions, but I suffer with anxiety and this whole situation has got me so worried -
On 25/2/13 the vehicle was caught speeding at 72mph. There were three possible drivers at the time and the registered owner and keeper at the time changed hands to one of the other drivers. However, it wasn't until around 5 months later that a request for information was sent out and I don't believe this was even a NIP. I'm not too sure though. I was able to obtain photographic evidence from the speed van that caught me and it was in fact me that was driving. So today on the 29/8/13 I received a Notice of Intended Prosecution - Request for information to identify driver of vehicle. Since I hadn't heard anything within 2 weeks, I thought nothing of it, but is there a 6 month rule when it concerns a very recent change of ownership? Surely over 6 months later, they can't still mean to prosecute. This is the first correspondence in my name that I've received, even though that may be irrelevant. Just wondering if there's anything that can be done, such as if it's time barred or not. I thought they only had 6 months to prosecute no matter what the circumstances regarding a change of ownership. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the car was bought just a couple of days before the incident took place.
