FCC Persecution Department

[Anonymous_1]

Hi All,

 

I need some advise please

 

My brother took my season ticket and was stopped by a revenue officer on the train.

He didn't want me to get into trouble and so gave my details, the officer took the name he gave and address but did not do any further checks and said he believed him but took the ticket and gave him a temporary ticket for the rest of his journey

 

He told me what happened when he got home and said that he was really sorry and that my details were given and i can send my photocard and a letter to the prosecution department saying it was me travelling

 

So i lied and said it was me on the train and could I have my ticket back

The other day we received a letter in the post for a MR. xxxxxxx (Not his name- the name addressed is not my name or his)...

There was no statement taken just name and address however they have got the name wrong.

 

I have not received anything from the FCC and dont know what to do.

My brother wants to take full blame and doesn't want to implicate me but we are both at fault here and dont know the best way to respond.

 

Should I write to them or wait to see if they send me something?

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I think you will need to wait for a letter from the train company. If you contact them before they write, they won't have a unique reference number for the case and won't be able to link the paperwork.

 

I fear there is nothing you can do until they write.

 

My best, HB

I think the first thing you need to do is to question your brother a little more.

 

You already know that he took your season ticket, presumably without your consent?

 

You have already compounded the issue by lying on his behalf.

 

How do you think the rail company came to address the letter to a different name if your brother gave them yours?
