A friend got caught when she used my parent’s freedom pass to touch out the tube station barrier last Tuesday, and received a letter from TFL on Thursday.
On the day got caught the plain staff took her bank card and called someone to confirm the information, luckily she gave the real name and address, but so curious about who did the staff called , and how can they confirm the detail with a bank card, do they have the right to access the personal bank detail?
Actually she is not that kind of bad character person, very humble and kind, she is terrified, so am I. I have some questions about this, Hope some one can help me.
1. I didn’t receive any phone call or email or letter from TFL yet, will TFL contact me or prosecute me ?as the freedom card is my parent’s ,My parent applied it with my email address, but she has already left UK.
2. In the letter they spell my friend’s first name wrongly, Does this mean they can’t prosecute her without correct name? If they could still prosecute my friend , should my friend correct it in the response or still use the one TFL used? And my friend give a lunar calendar date of birth when the stuff asked but it is different from the one on the her ID, should she correct it in the response or use the same one she gave to the staff.and curious about why they want Date of birth?
3. Should she ask for help from a solicitor in this stage about how to reply to TFL, does it work?she would like to pay the fine, but doesn’t want to have a criminal record.
Thank you for any help from you guys.
