bought online fake 16+ card - used +1yrs - Ran when stoped by inspector - now letter of intended prosecution

[wanderwall]

Hi HB, I used the card to get to uni and back. I don't really go out much using the bus, if I do it's usually in friends/family members cars. So the card just showed my journeys back and forth from university, which is why it goes up to 70 journeys as the court summons letter had attached pages and pages of me taking the same bus and at the times at which I traveled.

IMHO that's a good result.

WW are you able to post up the court summons without your personal information please? It would help us to advise you.

Our upload guide could help you.

I read through it again,
misread a lot of stuff in the morning and I didn't properly provide you both with the full information from the letters

like the fact that i'll have to pay back around £120 in bus fare that i owe on top of the fine they want to give me.

I'll try to get them uploaded tonight once I get home or by tomorrow morning.

I've noticed a lot of people on here recently like myself who have made the mistake of buying the 16+ oyster cards through social media.

I attached a screenshot of the sort of profiles that are selling these cards to give you an idea for any future posts.

And if something looks to good to be true.....

I've attached the of court summons letters minus the extra pages with general court information.

I'm in a similar situation, did you call them yet? If you did, what did they say? Please keep me updated, i'm worried about what's going to happen.

I made a really dumb mistake of following the crowd and just because my friends did it, I've never done anything remotely bad before. I didn't realise that you get a criminal record from fare evasion. I just started university so i'm really worried about the criminal record.
