ok thank you, ill update you when they send the letter for the offence

would you say we send another email to explain the other journeys asap or should we wait for the letter that will then tell us that they suspect us using it for multiple journeys

could we just state that the tfl officer confiscated it on the day and provided us with a ticket to then use for the next journey so that she could get home (this actually did happen) so you recommend waiting for a SJP summon letter before further explaining or should we send another email explaining this more

hey sorry for the confusion To whom it may concern, Regarding the offence committed on Thursday 31st August 2023 I accept to committing the offence. On the day the offence was committed , i was not at home and had to return home to help my mother who has just had a craniotomy surgery. At the time, I did not have my personal oyster or enough money for the bus fare to get back home and saw this as my only option in order to get back home. I did not intend to use this as a way to escape the bus fare and acted in a panic. I understand that this is a serious offence and acknowledge that my reasons are not excuses for the offence i’ve committed therefore i apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and I am willing to pay for the bus fare and any additional fines I may have to pay. I would be grateful if this could be sorted outside the court room as i am a second year university student and a criminal prosecution would negatively affect my studies and my career path as i intend to work the medical field. I am also currently in a bad financial position as i’ve needed to move jobs due to the distance and the recent cost of living crisis in order to provide for my family as my father is retired and my mother isn’t able to work because of her recent surgery. I’ve really struggled to balance work and my studies. Furthermore, payments and loans for uni has been negatively affecting my mental health. Therefore, having a criminal record could affect not just me but my family as well as I have a role in providing for my 3 younger siblings who are still young and in school. Again, I understand there aren’t any excuses for my actions and I take full responsibility for the offence. I understand the severity of this offence and will never do it again. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to plead my case. I would also prefer to be contacted via email through this address as i have recently moved houses and there have been recurring issues with posts to my home and would like to address any issues in a timely manner. However if this is not possible, i understand. Thank you. this is the email that my friend sent to tfl, would you say we would need to send another letter asap correcting that it wasn't a one time mistake or would you suggest we wait for their response then discuss the other journeys, I have also included a scan of the letter as requested before TfL 1st Letter.pdf

hey i do not have access to the letter personally and i believe the person who got sent the letter has already sent off that email, would you recommend sending another email, if so how would i approach the fact that the first letter wasnt the complete truth all the journeys started from the same location but they were all bus journeys, it was mainly used to get to work and university around 3 days a week and there were the off times where it may have been used for other travels like to the shops ect i was under the impression that since it didn't mention multiple journeys on the letter and only asked to explain the incident on that day we shouldnt mention any other journeys

im asking on behalf of a friend who is 19 years old and was caught using a 11-15 oyster on the bus they have used it multiple times over the past 2 months but were caught when approached by the officer, she told the truth about her age when asked, she received a letter today and we we're looking for any advice on trying to settle this out of court, i have read a few threads on the matter and wanted to see whether our response to the letter is sufficient the letter we have come up with is: To whom it may concern, Regarding the offence committed on Thursday 31st August 2023 I accept to committing the offence. On the day the offence was committed , i was not at home and had to return home to help my mother who has just had a craniotomy surgery.
