Hi,
I have just received a report for prosecution for travelling from West Byfleet to Waterloo with a ticket from Vauxhall. I gave them my ID and they took down my details. However, after I have gotten home and inspected the report I noticed they have taken my address and DOB incorrectly. Is this a problem? I realise they will probably send me a letter, the address on the notice is for the house next to me, so I will speak to them to look out for the letter. There is an email on the note, should I reach out and tell them that they have recorded the wrong address so it can be sent to the correct one?
From reading on here I can see that it is best to respond to the letter promptly and truthfully, which is what I intend to do. I realise they will also check my trainline account, and I did this once also last month so worried about what will happen. If I manage to receive the letter, should I inform them in my reply that they have the wrong address for me? I don't want them to accuse me of providing a false address when they are the ones that recorded it!
Also would like advice on the likelihood of settlement out of court with SWR, given I am truthful and prompt in my reply.
Thanks in advance!
