TfL letter for using fake photo Oyster card

[MJ12]

Hearing is at the end of this month, they need the reply at least 3 days before the hearing.

 

Do you have any advice on writing another term for out of court settlement?

Who do I send this letter to?

 

If I do get a conviction, what happens after 12 months?

Does it affect my job applications?

I plan to apply for British citizenship,

Will this affect that too?

[dx100uk]

No its spent after 12mts.

Write the same again

You can also try ringing the person at TfL who wrote to you and negotiate that way, if you have a phone number.

“Spent” is where the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders legislation applies.

citizenship application follow the eDBS route, exempts from the RoA provisions.

better to disclose than to appear to be concealing a criminal conviction.

If found guilty, likely to be refused under that "good character' aspect, for a period of 3 years.

Offence is 'spent' for Rehab of Offenders (RoO) purposes at a year (if you get a fine from the court), but will always need to be disclosed for 'exempt' jobs, UK citizenship application, or visa applications where that country isn't bound by the RoO (e.g. to the USA)

 

The citizenship / 3 years isn't an absolute. They can balance the details of the offence (the seriousness of it and the background around it) against the person's other character aspects. So for someone who has done masses of good work within the commnitiy, and who made a 'silly slip'for a trivial offence, they might ignore the offence. If you wanted to try that route, you'd have to provide all the details, and for using a fraudulent pass to fare dodge, expect the 3 years period to be applied.

 

Whatever you do, don't try to conceal it.

Where the applicant fails to disclose information that would result in the application being refused on good character grounds, the application must be refused and any further application for citizenship will normally be refused for the next 10 years.

 

This applies unless it is accepted that the failure to disclose was unintentional and a genuine error.

Does anyone know to whom I should address and send this letter to? In the summoning I received, there’s the court address to which I’m meant to send a reply whether I plead guilty or not, and at the beginning there’s also “charge authorised by: and a name and address for a solicitor”.

 

Which one of them should I write to?

[dx100uk]

TfL same as before.

 

the court letter is returned to the COURT

plead guilty, and say you will appear in person.

Hi,

 

I got caught today with a fake 16+ card. I live alone, have barely enough to eat because of all of the bills. I saw a post on Instagram and applied for the card just like MJ12. I am extremely scared. Could you guys please help me to write my letter to them.

 

I am 18 and I am crazy about my career. It was an extremely stupid mistake I made and will never do anything like this again.

 

Thank you
