hi there, 

a few days ago i was caught on the bus with a fake 16+ oyster card by the inspector, she took my details and said tfl will contact me. 

 

i was dumb enough to get someone to apply for a 16+ oyster card for me after listening to a friend.

 

i really regret this and read a few threads about it.

 

I've received the letter from tfl yesterday asking me to explain why i didn't have a valid ticket.

 

what do i do can someone please help?

 

I'm really stressed about this, could i go prison?

 

could i get a criminal record, this would be my first offence if i get prosecuted. 

 

what's the worst case scenario that can happen?

I don't think prison is likely, please stop worrying about that.

 

You will need to write back and tell the truth about what you've done,  in your own words. If you want us to look at what you plan to send, we're happy to help you to refine it.

 

Btw, did you buy the fake card online? You could offer to help TfL trace the person who took your money for the fake card.

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

 

 

 

I would like to apologize profusely for my actions in this occasion. I have pride in my integrity and honesty and I feel extremely ashamed of my very poor judgement.

 

I am currently working full-time. Previously to making this unethical decision I was going through a dark time in my life dealing with depression and financial difficulties. Which thus led me to making this foolish mistake. I live with my parents and I financially support them as my step father and myself are the sole income earners of the family. We both take care of my mother who deals with severe depression.  A criminal record on my part would be devastating for me and my family as it would affect my current employment. And or even future employment/opportunities.

 

 

This is the first caution or notice to prosecute that I have received in my life. Up until this point I have been a law-abiding citizen. I am very stressed in this situation as I have made a very grave mistake and I promise to never do anything like this ever again. I deeply regret my actions and would like to take a moment to apologize to TFL and it’s employee’s for my mishap.

 

 

As I stated before I have never been in a situation like this ever in my life. I know it was my mistake and I am very sorry. I truly had no idea it was such a grave crime until I received your letter stating possible prosecution.

 

 

I have no previous convictions to my name as I have been a productive member of society in the UK so far.

 

 

I have made a very bad mistake on my end that has kept me awake and tearful. I’m currently having anxiety at work and home just thinking about receiving a prosecution.

 

 

I would be very grateful if you would give me a second chance to right my wrongs.

 

 

I am more than willing to make immediate payment to cover the unpaid fare and any other damage or administration costs I have caused

 

 

I truly appreciate your consideration in this matter

it was not a mistake nor is it unethical.

it was a conscious act of fraud repeated twice daily for over 9mts!!

 

error of judgement on my behalf 

 

i'd cut down the number of times you crawl as well too many

one at the start
