I am unable to scan the document. I think I am just going to plead guilty and wait on how much they will fine me. On the letter is says the "Application is being made for a £225.00 contribution towards the costs of Transport for London". I am assuming that the fine must be a minimum of £225? I called the magistrate and they said that the fine still hasn't been decided (they are awaiting my financial situation)

She told me that the card is not supposed to be for your use, and asked me if I was planning to use it for the whole journey (to where I was going). I said yes to both questions. She acknowledged that I had used my own card before using her reader (last use was on the 29th of march), but it had -0.30 remaining.

This is what I am planning to write. Dear madam/sir, I profusely aplogise for the misuse of my fathers 60+ card, it was due to a combination of financial hardship and unplanned decisions. I explained to the insepctor that I was in terrible finanical hardship (due to a bad management of money and unwise spending) to the point where I had nothing on my bank account. I told her that I was put in a sitatuion where I had no choice but to attend my univeristy lectures and the mandatory assessments. I had always used my own 18+ card previosuly during a period of march where I begged a friend to borrow a limtied amount of money to help me finance the travels to the previous university lectures but i couldn't borrow enough money for the remaining two days of mandatory university assessments. My student finance maitnantce loan is going to be paid on the 14th of may but I had no choice to but to attend the final two university lectures/assessments, which were on the 10th and 3rd of April. I panicked and didn't know what to do. With absolutely no money and needing to attend univeristy/assessments, I had made a rushed decision to borrow my fathers 60+ card while he was away. I had no ill intentions to abuse my fathers card to dodge fares. It was simply out of desperation to attend the mandotary assessments/lectures and not wanting to put my academic grades at certain failure. I am an unemployed university student struggling financially. I sincerely apologise and constantly regret the poor decision to use my fathers 60+ card and assure you that I would never plan to abuse the card, it was simply because of my financial situation and me being forced to travel. A criminal record would hinder my future career prospects and would devastate my life further. I have realised that I had made a grave mistake and this is a very serious offense. I would do everything in my power to try and immediately make amends by paying for any fees and incurred costs to settle this out of court once I receive my maintenance loan Yours sincerly,

The 11th (when I got caught) was my last day that I needed to attend the mandatory assessments and lectures, after the 11th it was just a revision period. I was never going to travel anywhere after that because by then, my maintenance loan would have arrived and I wouldn't have to use my dads 60+ card, but just use my own card.
