Hi,
I was approached by a revenue inspection officer who interviewed me today and informed me to expect a letter in regards to prosecution for fare evasion.
The reason for this is because it came up on their system that there was fraudulent activity due to the fact I have been purchasing weekly travelcards between two stations at the end of my journey to work. For the other parts of the journey I have been using valid open returns. I did not reuse these. This method works out cheaper than buying an annual season ticket for the entire journey as sometimes I drive to work and sometimes work from home.
The officer seemed to accept this, however I am now concerned because I haven't been keeping the open return tickets. How can I / they prove that I didn't have open return tickets for the duration I have been buying the weekly tickets. - Can I/they use CCTV orsee my purchase history on their systems?
Sorry if this is unclear, It is a complicated situation.
Thanks
