  1. I'm not trying to be dishonest. I offered to pay the fare on the train 2 stops after I got on when the ticket guy took my oyster. I even offered to pay the fare when he was holding me on the platform at Kentish Town. The timings are pretty wrong. I took the photo on my phone as I was walking off at 3:11. the statement from the ticket inspector shows he first stopped me after 3:15, by which point I was already on the tube network. When I spoke to the police they mentioned that he had n right to hold me against my will on the platform and that seeing as I was in a train station it was a matter for the BTP. The reason I said he was "illegally detaining" me was due to his persistance in not letting me even leave the platform where we got off the train. I tired to walk to the ticket office to get this sorted out and he refused saying that he had authority to hold me on the platform. which as far as I can make out from research online he doesn't. Do you know how long they are likely to hold the CCTV for? Because I could possibly go to my local station where I got on and retrieve the footage of me touching my oyster card on the barrier to prove I wasnt trying to skip the fare. Thankyou for helping me.
  2. I think the oyster is registered to my address but none of the details in the summons except my D.O.B are correct.
  3. I'll try and make this as short as possible. In December 2011 I was travelling from Borehmwood to Kentish town and then on into town for a job. I topped up my oyster with £20 and touched it to the pad and walked through the barriers. Once on the train I was approached by a "Revenue Protection Inspector" who asked to see my ticket. I handed my oyster card over and expected it back straight away. It was kept from me and I was told that I had skipped the fare. I explained how I'd topped it up and even touched it on the way into the station. I was given 2 options: 1- Pay the fare 2- Pay a fine. I said "Fine I'll pay the fare" as in to say im happy to pay the fare if the machine hadnt taken it properly. The First Caiptal Connect man then started taking my details. Confused I asked why. He said that I'd asked for the fine and not to pay the fare. I explained what I meant but his english wasnt very good. After being told that I couldnt now just pay the fare as he had "already started the paper work" I was annoyed but started to give my details until we got to my stop. He still had my oyster and refused to hand it back. He agreed to continue on the platform at Kentish Town, where I provided my address, and all other details. I even spelt my name for him 4 times using J-Juliette O-Oscar E-Echo L-Limo etc etc etc. After another 5 or so minutes he was still refusing to let me leave so i called the police stating that I was being "illegally detained" on the platform. At this point he started getting a bit agitated and angry with me (i was also getting ****ed off with him) and I tried taking back my O-card. Eventually (after kicking up a loud fuss on the platform) I grabbed my card and walked off. I have just recieved a Court Summons in the name of JOAL SEFOLD (not my name at all). The summons states I was aggresive (physically and verbally) and refused to pay my fare. As a result they are asking me to pay the fare, the fine and court costs on top (a little bit unfair). The Court Summons is dated 24.01.2012 and gives me 7 days to respond before they go ahead and try me in absence. It was recieved on 21.02.2012. My Names are wrong (even on his original note pad) the timings are wrong(can be proven by meta data on the photo I took). What should I do??? I'm very tempted to send it back as "return to sender NOT KNOWN AT THIS ADDRESS" I would appreciate any help Thankyou.
