60+misused oyster update

[jag2021]

Hi everyone,

I have read many posts regarding 60+ misused oysters and i was wondering if anyone can let me know what happened after they received the letter frim TFL .Did anyone go to court? Did you pay the fine?

I would really appreciate an answer as i have received the letter but don't know what the next step could be?

The "next step" is that you reply, and then TFL's prosecutions team decide if they want to prosecute.

 

Sadly, your post is so devoid of detail that it is impossible to advise further.

 

Relevant info could include:

What happened?. What did you say / do when stopped?.

What does the letter say (in particular does it refer only to the one incident, or ask about others?). Does it say what they are considering proescuting you for (Byelaw or statute)

Was this the only time that card was mis-used, or would they see records of similar mis-use trips?.

Did they take the card from you? Was this a card fraudulently obtained, or someone else's legitimate card??.

Thank you for your reply.I was hoping that people who went through a similar situation would reply to this post as they know exactly what I am talking about.

Hi.

 

As Bazza says, if you don't give us more detail, it's going to be difficult for people to advise. I wouldn't worry about confidentiality here, to my knowledge the rail companies have never read threads here, or if they have, they've never used the information. They're too busy.

I traveled recently using my mum’s 60+oyster.I received a letter asking me to confirm my details.and to accept or deny the offence.

I have read other posts mentioning the same issue but no one wrote about the decision and what happened when they pleaded guilty.Did they have to go to court?What was the final decision?

 

[honeybee13]

Yes, I expect people did go to court because the transport companies take a dim view of people using cards they aren't entitled to have.

 

Sadly people don't always update their threads here so we don't know what happened to everyone. If you'd like us to advise on how to prepare for court then we can help if you tell us what happened.

I’ve never abused a 60+ card (or any other pass), let alone been caught doing so.

If that means you don’t want my advice, as “I don’t know exactly what you are talking about”, despite the years(& hundreds of threads?)  I’ve been replying to : I accept your decision of who you want to respond.

 

I’m out.

there are numerous threads here on 60+ card abuse, but as is being seen with this thread, users are very teeth pulling with giving info and most certainly cut and run when they get it..

 

sometimes its like whistling in the wind.

 

how many times did you use the card to travel is a good start....
