Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm actually here to ask a question on behalf of a friend who's worries about incriminating themselves and so asked me to do it.
My friend travelled on the tube this morning but her oyster card (with a fair amount of credit) didn't work, she tried it twice, checked the balance and tried it again, it still didn't work. As she was in a hurry, she rushed through the big barriers behind someone else. Scared she was going to be fined, she did the same thing at the other end and was cornered by ticket inspectors. They checked her oyster card and found no attempted validation and said there was no way this could be wrong and she was lying. Admitting she was in the wrong, but annoyed about being called a liar, she gave fake information and as far as she can tell walked away free, however, as I write this, she sits in front me shaking like a leaf, cradling large gin and wondering weather their going to track her down. She had the fine and the details and so is capable of paying it, but her situation doesn't make it an easy thing to do right now.
She gave her real first name but fake last name, and a fake address, however, the fake address is on her mums road and flustered she gave her mums name. They also have the name of the place she was born.
I've offered to help her pay the fine if need be, she wants advice. Pay the fine and let it be done, or let it be and see what happens. will they track her down?
