contacted British Transport Police and they said that i have to contest the letter first then if the fare company takes it further they may get involved!!

thats what he said

thats what i thought,

Southern railway i think is the local operator. I will also be popping to the police station on Monday when it opens just to see if they can do any thing as technically its identity theft or giving false information to a ??? someone lol. Have an idea who it could have been as there are only about 4 people who know my sons name and his address.

Hi all My son has received a penalty fare notice letter from revenue protection support services based in Portsmouth, saying that he travelled from Lancing to Shoreham (southern railway) and did not have a ticket on 28/11/12 The problem is my son (17yrs) does not go out unless he is with me or his dad and I know he was asleep all day as I was home with him (he was up all night gaming have that as evidence on his playstation gamer log thing) Obviously i have no evidence to show that he was in bed or with me as we were both at home. Pluss as my son said why would he go to either lancing or shorham he does not know any one there or even where it is, even though it is just down the road. Does anyone know how the appeal process works and what I can do? any help advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
