    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Have paid settlement, hopefully everything is ok now. Also wanted to ask, from a DBS point of view, will the conviction be dropped and hence not show up on DBS check, since the matter's been settled?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Just received an email stating Northern would like to settle! Will pay the fine happily. Thank you all so much for your advice. Now, the court has given me a date as to when to go, will I still need to send off the summons form ?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    SD has now been sent off to the court and has been accepted. I have now sent Northern DRPU a version of my events plus an apology. Anything else I should do in the meantime?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Ok I have been a bit confused with the previous messages, but I'm in the process of making a SD at the solicitors. Once I send it off, can I then contact Northern to ask for a settlement?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    75 X AVENUE. I have never lived at 22 or 30 X AVENUE at all. No I don't think I did Thanks for this, I contacted the magistrates court and made a request for statutory declaration. However they told me over the phone that they do not have appointments till November, which sucks. Do I have to...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Thank you for the sympathy. At the time of the incident I was commuting to university from my parents home. During this time, I did not hear from northern or any magistrates court as I’ve previously said. I have made a mistake.Had I’d been aware that I received a settlement offer out of court, I...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    To be honest, I don’t need the stress of going to court and having a trial etc. but I’m gonna have to do it.My whole career as a pharmacist is ahead of me, but I guess my priority is to ask northern when/who they sent letters too regarding my prosecution. I’ll make the declaration for sure, but...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    I’ve informed the gphc - I’m due for registration with the body next week. My university didn’t know because I was in the final year of my studies. So how do you think I should approach this now? I will make a statutory declaration but should I plead not guilty?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    I’m going to check with them next week if they sent any correspondence to my address and what address they sent it to. I’ve always travelled on the railway with the intention to pay the fare.I had an exam on that day and I was stressed out.Normally my route to Liverpool for uni goes through...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    I also recall asking the guard what would happen to me, and they told me I'd get fined. So it's a big surprise to see that they've prosecuted me, This is the first time I've done this and I've learnt from it. Maybe, as one of the above posters have said, that maybe they've sent correspondence to...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Ok, so firstly yes it's a RoRA on my DBS check. I bought a ticket immediately after getting asked by an inspector, and I bought it at my destination. I was not asked any questions as to what i'd have done had i not been caught, but I even showed the inspector, who basically had none of it. I...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    I looked on my professional body's page and I don't need to declare it (I'm a pharmacist so my body will be the GPhC) I have emailled the magistrates court to ask them to appeal against my conviction. Do I wait and see what I get told by Northern next week and then decide my best cause of action?

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Thanks for the info - yeah I've had nothing. Even when I committed the offence in 2018 I was on this forum wondering what would happen and I though I'd expect to receive a letter at the very least. But I've not received a summons and I didn't even know what one was till today, but I've already...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Well that's the whole point, it has appeared on my DBS check. But my whole point is that I never was contacted after that day about a penalty notice, a settlement letter or any other letter you'd expect to get before prosecution. Honestly I got my DBS certificate and it's thrown me off so much...

    Conviction but I didn't know I was being prosecuted?

    Hello, Basically I received an enhanced DBS check today in the post, and it shows a conviction for fare evasion from June 2018. The incident happened in January 2018, and I forgot to pay for a ticket between Ashton Under Lyne and Manchester Victoria in the morning of that day, which originally...
