Hello,
I need your help. I am only 17 years old. Last May 2024, I rode the train with a valid ticket with a discount from a railcard that I did not have. I was not aware. I have a Monzo Debit Card that has my age registered in it. I read somewhere that it is equivalent to a railcard. It is not. I do not know why I believed that. I told the inspector that the railcard was at home. It isn't. They sent a letter last June 4 and we were only able to read it today. I panicked and told my parents that it was because I did not know how to use the travel pass I had. It was not that. It was a 16-18 zoom travel pass. I said that because I was scared that they would be mad at me for getting into trouble. My father sent them a letter explaining it in the way he knew. What he knew was a lie. After the incident, I immediately bought a railcard because I thought it would mitigate what I just had done. I searched and all of the lying I did was fraud. I work in healthcare and I do not want a criminal offense showing up in my DBS checks. So what I did is I emailed them confessing my dishonesty to the inspector and my mum and dad. I told them that I am willing to pay the fine. I apologize again and again. What do you think will happen because I am literally panicking at the moment and is scared of my future.

How much am I looking to pay? I am a first offender but I am so scared.
