TfL fare evasion used 11-15 years oyster card.

[dx100uk]

for how long and for how many journeys did you use the card approx..please

[dx100uk]

so you should have expanded on the take her to school bit in your pleading letter.

as they don't know?

and you have not told them?

that you used it outside of this ONE offence you are charged for?

 

and anyway it could have been the child and you going to school or her on her own going to school/

 

you should write another pleading letter to TfL , IF its only this ONE ride they are charging you with

you should get an OOC.

they don't know you were a serial defrauder?

They said that there was the possibility that they take her right having the card anymore

 

 

sorry??

 

dx

 

[dx100uk]

well thats not an issue to you.

 

if you have have not received a SJP form with lots of sheets of other journeys for you to sign off as TIC

then i don't think they can prove the use was yours and not the designated user of the card.

 

since the even have your purchased or use a valid pass and have proof of this ?

what date is the SJP case please

 

dx

 

[dx100uk]

put your letter up here 1st .

 

dx

[dx100uk]

might be wise to introduce some reason upon WHY you used the card, not just repeatedly state it might kill you visa repeatedly??

[dx100uk]

Well you need to show some financial reason for the temp lapse in reasoning..

 

And it would help to mention and send proof that since the event in January...you have used and purchased your own passes regularly so have learnt from your mistake

 

I would get this in today

Time is tight to court case

[dx100uk]

you indicate your parents were helping you but had to cease,

was there a valid reason behind this?

 

 

[dx100uk]

nothing about how you've bought tickets/ passes or paid for travel since the incident.

 

far too many repeats of you are a forign student on a visa etc etc 

 

once at the start 

once at the end

 

......upon how a conviction would impact your visa..

 

you also need to outline wHY you resorted to it, being of little financial income that day as parents could no longer support you at the time.

 

[dx100uk]

like i said ..

firstly

once again

although i would

 

drop those ..

 

you need to start the letter with an honest apology, dont waffle about what you've been like elsewhere in the world..not important.

 

is perfect>>>I feel extremely shameful of my very poor judgment in this matter. I take full responsibility of my action and accept that I was in wrong.

 

twist around your explanation to benefit your situation and more reflect the truth.

 

i came to the UK in september 2019 to study for xxxxx.

Until the time of the incident my parents has been supporting me from abroad but in january this support stoppedas they hit hard times and my part time job was not enough to support me

 

i was very naive about you UK regulations 

 

give am an hour i'll do it for you

 

 

 

 

[dx100uk]

sorry been busy....

IF they were to look at the pattern of use of the card in the weeks before you got stopped

would they see a pattern of A<>B travel each day at the same ish time each weekday, or was your travel/use of the card sporadic?

[dx100uk]

can you scan up the original letter from TfL and the SJP Court letter please to ONE multipage PDF ONLY

read our upload guide carefully 

[dx100uk]

scans please too.

[dx100uk]

i read them , there is no mention of anything prior

so they obviously think they don't have enough proof the other journeys were you.

 

i'll get around to a letter later tonight for posting tomorrow.

 

as for the court form

plead guilty and state you wish to attend to show your genuine remorse personally to the judge, 

[dx100uk]

Dear Sir,

 

I urgently write to you upon the matter concerning when I was reported for travelling on a bus service on 17th January 2020 in Pembridge Road/Kensington Park Road with another persons not transferable zip card that i was not entitled to use. case Ref XXXX.

I have now received a single justice procedure notice with a a time limit of 21 days to state my plea.

 

Having sought suitable advice, it has come to my attention that my short reply to you on the return form of your letter dated xxxx was somewhat innocent and may have appeared rather flippant upon my behalf.

 

Please excuse these actions, at the time of the incident i had only resided in the UK for a very short period and it was not until i sought recent advice, i became completely aware of how the travel system and laws operate in this country and how serious my actions then were. I have always been a respectful citizen in every country I have lived in and I feel so extremely shameful of my very poor judgment in this matter now and how i have conducted myself since.

 

I came to the UK shortly before September to study at university to further my life and career. My parents proudly funded my education from abroad and i attained a part time job and was happily enjoying my development.  Following a difficult Christmas period for my parents, they were suddenly no long able to financially support me from afar and with only a part time job, my finances soon dwindled.

 

During this period i was helping close family to occasionally escort my younger cousin to and from school for safety. i innocently though they had purchased her card and wrongly believed i could use that to travel by myself as it was already a paid pass. Please don't take it away as they have told me you will and are displeased with me now too.
 
i was stopped by your inspector and I expressed such in my short statement i had no idea i had done or was doing wrong. This does not excuse my offence, since I immediately understood how wrong I was, it only was an explanation of my ignorance on the matter as i have said. I cannot believe that I have jeopardized my dream with my stupidity, thus a criminal conviction will lead to a severe penalty on my visa. 

 

I am extremely sorry for what I have done and the trouble i have put your staff through. Prior and since the event have i used my Bank Card and pay as you go cards, i attach the statements of my bank card that I have used after and continue to use to pay for my journeys.

 

 Once again I wish to apologize to Tfl service and every staff member that has been inconvenienced by my foolish actions and offer to make payment of the unpaid fare and all reasonable admin costs that my actions have caused to avoid at all costs a court conviction, as this will destroy my future as i will not be able to get a visa with a court conviction nor be allow to continue at university and this will disgrace me to my family, i plead to you to offer me an out of court settlement.
 

Although I would completely understand if you wanted to go further and press at court with my case, I sincerely hope that you will accept my apologies in your consideration and show some leniency in this matter.
