hello...
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice because I am currently very worried (putting it mldly) over a letter from GWR which I opened today revealing a charge sheet and referencing Byelaw 18 (1)....
I recently moved back from Germany (September) to uk and have rented my house out for the past 2 years. I pop over to see my tenants once a month and today I collected my post and opened a letter which had a number of sheets inside. Page one was a letter dated 19th December stating I had 7 days to resolve a matter of traveling without a ticket on a train to Slough on 14th October and pay £146.90. It said if I don't wish to resolve the matter out of court I had 21 days from date of notice to plead guilty or not guilty.
There was also a letter dated 5th novemeber asking me to pay £70 for an outstanding penalty fare,
My house which is rented is number 6 yet he letter was addressed to number 66. So I'm guessing that the first letter never reached my actual home. I'm not quite sure how this currently one ended up at my address but anyway.
My name is Kieran yet the letter is addressed to Kevin. The date of birth is also incorrect so I am really confused. I live In SE London and have no reason to go to Slough!
It appears I now have to please guild or not guilty for a fare I know nothing about. I am going to ring the prosecution admin office tomorrow to argue my case but have been warned that they are not very helpful.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
