If this goes to court, you'll be asked to declare your earnings. Any fine is a percentage of what you earn per week.

Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. HB

Not prison, no. That has never happened here. I think they can look back a year on their system and you'll have something like TiredDodo did when they were summoned to court. With a year's use, I'll be amazed if you don't have a court appearance. HB

If you can't check the Freedom pass (I thought it was possible) can you check whatever card you used until you started using the Freedom pass? HB

Yes, most people here haven't had mitigating circumstances that TfL would believe. HB

Yes, I think that will be OK. They can always ask for a paper copy if they want one. HB

You can attach your letter to theirs - I would return the original to them and keep a copy. Print out your letter if you think it answers their questions and put your name and their reference number at the top, then attach it to their form. HB

See what dx thinks but it seems to me that sending a photo of your own pass isn't relevant to what happened. Let's wait and see what he says. HB

Please post up their letter so we understand what they've asked. You need to cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB

Susan Crichton is at the Inquiry today. She seems to have trouble remembering a lot of things but seems to find it easier if it's something that shows her in a good light.

Well done! And thank you for letting us know. Thank you also for the donation which is much appreciated. Thanks to people like you we can continue to help people with the same problem as you. Good luck with the new role, I hope it goes well. I'll amend your thread title to show the result. HB

Thank you for the update - at least it's all over now. I'm a bit confused by what you say happened. What did your barrister think? HB

I can't remember a case where they didn't write, although we have someone who dx thought might not go to court. They're still waiting to hear but I suppose it's faintly possible TfL will just drop it. The initial letter can take weeks or even months depending on how busy the investigations department is. It also takes longer if they have to go back through the history of the card to see how many fares have been evaded. Worry will need to work out how many fares weren't paid and the value of that. If TfL do agree to an OOC settlement they will want the money to be paid in full within a week or two. HB

Sunak wants to use a new system to issue sick notes, rather than GPs doing it. He seems to think GPs don't understand their patients. But over the weekend there were articles about stopping the 'sick note culture'. I would have thought this would make it easier. Don't people self-certify for the first few days anyway? Public will be able to use NHS algorithm to sign off sick ARCHIVE.PH archived 21 Apr 2024 19:04:52 UTC Another one. Sunak wants more disabled people to work - and closes the scheme that has been helping them. Hardly contradictory at all.
