It's always good to let us have a look at what you plan to send in case we can improve on it.

HB

Thank you. Obviously I should re-read the sticky.

I hope you have an interesting day.

HB

BF's sticky talks about court rather than the judge's office. I've just never heard of a member of the public being invited into a chambers meeting.

I'm happy to be proved wrong.

HB

We're talking about the same thing but I think you mean a hearing in court rather than in chambers.

It's a good idea to do it.

HB

Could you link us to BankFodder's post please? I assume you mean a familiarisation visit but the judge's office means something different to me.

HB

What is the new condition please?

HB

I've amended your thread title a little.

HB

We've already encouraged worry to use their own words...

HB

dx is right. Let's get the begging email ready and off and then tidy up the other stuff.

HB

Have you heard anything else from TfL?

HB

28 minutes ago, worry said:

Ok, so they will look back a max of 1 year's record and ask me to tick which ones were used by me?

 

I didn't say it was a maximum of a year. You said you thought you'd used the card for about a year so I worked on that. Their records are extensive so please don't assume it will just be 12 months.

HB

Link to TiredDodo's thread, it's the one below yours on the main page of this subforum. Once you've done your paperwork you should read other Freedom pass threads to understand what may happen next.

HB

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.

3 minutes ago, worry said:

will they inform my employer and sack me?

 

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

Hi HB, 

Have you come across cases where there are no mitigating reasons as to why TfL should not proceed with a prosecution? 

 

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?
