Hey guys just thought to update you, I requested police access and they advised that this is a non-recordable offence. Hence, this does not appear on a DBS (standard or enhanced). My employers did an enhanced DBS and the conviction does not appear. I am so relieved and happy. Thank you so much guys. I don't advise doing what I did... But if you find yourself in a position such as mine, just follow the advice from this forum and know that a conviction like mine it WILL NOT appear. I have mad love for this forum, been such a massive lesson learnt

Oh my gosh really. Thats so bad. I know I am really thankful that I ddnt get charged with fraud. I honestly thought that I would've. Thats why I thought to share what happened. Prayer and humbleness really helped me and ofc this forum.

Cool... Thanks

Thank you for responding. So would the offence listed above be what appears on a DBS?

Thank you so much for responding. Yes I paid the fine online but I have not heard back from them regarding if they received it. I will try to contact them again on Monday

I used a fake 16+ Oyster card for over a year that I obtained through a friend who was trying to help. I was desperate, stupid and struggling financially at the time. I got caught on the bus, panicked and lied to the Inspector about my age who then took down my details. After explaining how I obtained the card, I received a court summons. I came to this website and used your lovely advice and other people's experiences to draft a letter asking for an OOC settlement. This was declined twice. I just want to shout out to everyone that took the time to post their stories on here and all you people who gave advice as you helped me so much. I really struggled with mental my mental health and had to be put on medication. I pleaded guilty with an apology letter to the court but for unforeseen circumstances did not attend court. I made sure to keep the court updated throughout. A few weeks later I received the (attached) document. Do you know if I will get a criminal record? When I called the court the gentleman I spoke to said he was not sure but did not specify who to speak to. Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Thank you for responding @honeybee13. I have beens struggling to find the right topic category that has delayed me posting. I cant find the public Transport Category

I am just curious what happened with your case and the judgement from the court

Hey, did you end up going to court?
