Hi,
back in February I was on the train from Luton airport parkway to St Albans to get picked up, unfortunately my lift cancelled so I stayed on the train to get to london instead, thinking I would just be able to pay the extra of the ticket at the gate.
A ticket inspector came along at crackle wood and issued me with a letter, saying I would get a letter to pay a fine.
A few weeks later and a letter had arrived today saying that I will be taken to court and have a criminal record, it says I need to send a reply back telling them what happened.
can anybody help?! I really don’t want to be taken to court over the sake of a few pound!! Is there anything I can say that will help me settle this outside of court?
Thanks in advance!
