Sounds as if your brother doesn't know then? Seems unlikely though - how do you get to the mail before him? If I were the brother I couldn't care less about the bailiffs turning up - that can be sorted out relatively easily so long as you do it properly. What would worry me if I was the...

If I were your brother I would not be at all happy about the possibility of having a "non-existent" person being fined in court having given my address. Think about it... I think your best bet is to come clean with TOC but I agree with the suggestion from others that you should get paid for...

OP - what do you mean by the bit highlighted in bold? What has been suspended until September and how do you know this? The second "letter" you got seems to be confirming your conviction. How do you appeal a conviction when you plead guilty to the charge(s)? You posted the above at 21:55...

The OP previously posted on MSE where nobody could understand the timeline and they were advised to post here. What I can't understand is: "Weeks later, I received another letter from the magistrates charging, not only the full amount of £150, but also an additional £180 in fees. (£330 in...

I don't often come to this forum but can I say it would be a great pity if the OP ends up being convicted (god forbid!) or even having to pay some sort of administrative settlement when the consensus here seems to be that he (probably) had a valid ticket all along. What a pity the OP didn't...

Thanks. Are you saying the admin fee is £10? The dividend cheques I referred to clearly have an expiry date on them and state that there will be a fee payable for reissue. The delay repay cheques are silent on both these matters. (As are the National Rail T&Cs and the TOC's customer...

The bank won't let me pay them in. I could try paying in at an ATM, but... I don't want the cheques out of my possession until I've got some sort of resolution. I agree it's not clear cut. I'm pretty certain they can, and should, reissue the cheques, but I don't know for sure. I'll go back...

Thanks for replies so far. I've looked at the National Rail T&Cs (s. 31.1?) and also at the TOC's passenger charter. Neither seem to have any provision to say that expired cheques can't be reissued, so I'll go back to customer services. (I suspect that they may not know that cheques can be...

Quick question on Delay Repay. I've just found two Delay Repay cheques (2 x £13 only) which, very stupidly (I know!) I never paid into my bank. They're both approaching two years old. I've contacted the TOC and asked them to reissue them (probably for a fee) but they've told me that as...

Hi I'm new but have followed this forum for a couple of years. I'm assuming the OP's employer is a limited company and therefore a "legal person" in it's own right. If the employer has bought the return ticket and two separate employees have used the outward and return portions for business...
