    The email has been sent and my stomach is now in knots!

    Expired Railcard

    I did think this myself, talking about the MP etc. Doesn't sound too apologetic. I'm not amazing with words which is why I keep coming back here to ensure everything looks OK before I click send. My apologies to you all for the continuous questions.

    Expired Railcard

    Dear South Western Railway, I am writing about the Unpaid Fare Notice issued to me on the 30th January, following a ticket check where it was discovered that my Vetrans Railcard had expired, reference number XXXXXXX I am sorry that my railcard had expired, I inadvertently forgot to renew it...

    Expired Railcard

    I very much appreciate someone telling me how it is rather than beating around the Bush, I just honestly didn't realise the situation that I was even in until I came here. I've never been in this type of situation, and for something like this to not only tarnish my person, but potentially...

    Expired Railcard

    Since coming to this forum, I have come to the realisation that no matter how I look at it, it was an offence. It does make sense since so many people do evade payment, so why would they believe me over anyone else... My main worry isn't so much the fine (no matter how much it will cripple me)...

    Expired Railcard

    I completely understand your point as when I googled the fact, over 20,000 people are caught per year for ticket evasion, so understanding this, why would they believe me over Tom, Dick or Harry? My only defence is that why would I? My railcard costs me £30 per year meaning after two trips only...

    Expired Railcard

    I genuinely don't understand how it has come so far so quickly due to a genuine mistake? I have taken on board the advice given by the members of this forum, and I'm not going to lie, I feel much more queezy than I did when I first posted to this forum! Please let me know if the following is...

    I'm confused? What's a RoRA summons and what's the difference between this to any other summons?

    Expired Railcard

    I had not realised, my ticket did not work at the barrier, the officer asked for my railcard, so I complied and gave up all information that was asked of me. This is where both I and the officer found out that my railcard was expired. 1684957401 No, I just did as I was told throughout, thinking...

    Expired Railcard

    My attempt at requesting to settle outside of court... I thought I'd come here for advice before I click send. Honestly, i feel sick to my stomach right now! "Good evening, I hope you are well. I have not been contacted since our last correspondence in March. I am still unsure how the...

    ] Thank you for your response. Sadly I did not receive the correspondence back from the MP, but have followed up the email today requesting details.

    Is it now not too late to request the settlement?

    Expired Railcard

    I've never had a summons before, so I genuinely have no idea what I am now up against! Can I still even settle the original settlement or do I now have to go through with court? I have Googled what could happen next, if I am either found guilty or I plead guilty, it would lead to a criminal...

    Expired Railcard

    Hello, My apologies, I have been digging out the correspondence from SWR, it was not £40, it was £140. I genuinely don't know what I should be or am allowed to be sharing right now since this is now a court case? Will asking for advice here screw me over even more down the line? Many thanks...
