hi molly, as been said before no one is here to apportion blame just help, first question do you have a solicitor? sorry ive just seen your thread but this should of been first thing you done, doin a bad thing doesnt make you a bad person and magistrates will understand that, and will also be lenient as you admitted guilt at the first interview and been repaying since. its not too late if you dont have a sol but its always easier to use one, and let them know the facts before court so they can defend you, i cant see this being a custodial sentance but the amount is quite high that you claimed so must of beenover a period of time, i would think your looking at a fine and suspened sentance, good luck let us know how you get on .
