Hi I was recently travelling with someone new I met from I think it was hunts cross to liveprool central the station had a notice saying please pay at the final stop and take a picture of this notice I did so and when going to the ticket machine in central station in the shop. it was also not working I was walking around trying to find the office when two men stopped me and pulled me aside I thought it was a drug search and was fine with it as I didn’t have any, they charged me with failing or pay a notice under 18.2 and recorded me then sent me a settlement for £125, I never got this notice until 2 weeks after when I got back from a job interview abroad and was never given a slip at the time as when they informed me I was free to go I left, now the time to pay the settlement is gone and they are taking me to court but when asking there enquiry team what the offence was they said 18.2 but in 18.3 of the byelaws it states that this only apply a if there was a flair place to buy a ticket at the begging of the journey. I need to know weather to plead guilty or fight it and I don’t have the funds to pay the settlement or and court costs so what will happen to me.
