ok ok, im sorry for looking for some advice, im not a bad person, my friend suggested asking for help on here as she said that martin lewis guy always seemed realy helpful and friendly on tv and would always try and see the possitives in situations like this, so i just posted asking for some help, and as usual with forums im greeted with a torrent of hate by faceless cowards, like the chap who said "at least your mother wasnt murdered", charming..
i dont consider myself a criminal, ive always paid fairly through the whole time ive lived in london, it was just that day i wasnt feeling well and yes i wanted to get home to bed asap and like everone else who jumped on the back door of that bendy bus i didnt pay, and i got caught..im nieve i guess, i just never thought if i ignored the court summons that I would have to pay 540 pounds, there you go, lesson learnt..
thanks for the one or two nice people n here with actual advice!

Yes, that's right - now you know.

Have you paid yet?

Someone has to pay for Boris's grandiose ideas of towers and airports in the sea.:(

The GLA and TFL are in a complete shambles - roll on 2012, when a new mayor can be elected.

Cuts in transport, rocketing fares, and money pouring into the County Hall coffers because of this sort of thing - but hey, ho, Boris wants to buy some bikes.:(

What a waste of space that idiot is.:mad:

I agree with what you say, even if I would not express my opionions in the same way. However our frustrations have little connection to the OP's problem.

You're not a bad person for asking for advice. What makes you a bad person is the way you make out you've done little wrong and are being persecuted by an unreasonable authority.
