Also, amidst all of this - do I specifically reply to either of the 3 pleas? Which would be best whilst I'm still trying to settle OOC. Or do I simply not reply? Thankyou so much!

Hiya HB, Could you please tell me who to make an OOC offer to / write letter to? I have been provided with no address or names of prosecutions on my case, do I simply ring the court with my Case number? And considering the letter I received are 3 plea deals, is OOC off the cards? Or is that always an option until court? Thanks so much

Sorry, is this along with a guilty plea reply paying the minimum fine? I'd like to settle the same issue out of court and don't know where to get information from of any contact details to pay any money but keep my record clean. Please do let me know if you find out where to send this to as I am in the same situation. Where do we send any apology letters to? I have no address or email of anyone in particular in regards to my case. Many Thanks,

Hiya all, I'd really appreciate some help. In late October I was caught using my mums freedom pass. I have been sent a charge sheet only on the 13th of February with 3 options to plead within 21 days. Either pleading guilty with the reduction of fine so altogether around £150, to plead guilty and go to court or not guilty and also go to court to attend a trial. 'Contrary to Byelaw 17(1) of the Transport for London Railway Byelaws Made under paragraph 26 of Schedule 11 to the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and confirmed under section 67 of the Transport Act 1962'. I was originally going to go with the quick guilt plea with the small fine but I realized that you automatically acquire a criminal conviction. This is something I simply cannot have on my record at the moment as I am moving to the USA. I do not mind paying more for the fine as long as somehow I can rid myself of this. I'm also unsure as to why my instance went straight to court as I am aware other people have gotten warnings and opportunities to pay off their mistake. Is there any way I could contact the head of prosecution or someone to settle this out of court or is it too late for that? Also, if so, where would I find these contact details or do I call up the court directly? I would also be interested in hearing about any experiences in the length of time this all takes, as say if I cannot get out of the conviction - my visa is set to be finalized by April so if I hold out long enough (ofcourse being aware that fines will increase) could this be an ok idea to then pay a bit more later, or will it make my situation even more severe? Many Thanks to any who have taken the time to read.

Hiya - How did you find out who the prosecutions manager was and his details to be able to contact him? Many Thanks
