Honestly, I’m still really stressed out about it. I don’t have enough to pay the fine so I’ve requested an extension that until the end of the month so I can get this sorted

Ah no I was travelling by myself, the ex girlfriend of mine was issued this letter for a different event in July of last year. I can see how this adds up now yes, but am struggling to see the operations costs and do think that’s a bit steep but, it is what it is. Only issue is me being just turned 18 so the money side is the issue rather than anything.

I’m thinking of sending an email to the prosecutions office so I maybe able to talk to someone directly to figure out how it’s amounted a figure this high

I bought it on my old phone, and it wasn’t linked to an account. I’m looking at my Trainline account now and it’s not showing anything purchased for that date

I did not, no

I don’t have a railcard at the minute and not even sure why the option was on. The last time I’ve even selected it from that date was to check the difference in prices between the regular ticket and one with a railcard. So does this explain the massive penalty and why it may be bigger than just the ticket price itself?

I have no idea, this happened with my ex girlfriend who was charged £1300 for multiple offences, im not sure if I’ve done this in the past but not from what I can remember unless I have accidentally selected it multiple times without me knowing. But I have absolutely no other knowledge of how it could’ve added up to this much, considering I told the ticket inspector what platform I got on, how I got tot the station and from what side I approached

I was going Vauxhall to Waterloo

Here’s the letter. Upon remembering, at this date I accidentally selected a 16-17 Saver card. I told this to the man and said it was simply an accident and he looked over it. Id like to make it clear however it was a £3.70 ticket, which the saver reduced to to £1.85. (50%) I wouldn’t risk a fine over £1.85 , and thought they’d understand that it was a simple mistake that it was on, but I guess not. trainfine.pdf

I was at waterloo station on 29 oct 2023 was stopped and asked to provide my ticket, i did they proceeded too try and interrogate me about it told me id be receiving a letter or email about the case. I just have its a total of £318.70. DO i guilt trip orrrr?
