I ended up at Cardiff Central on the 12th August 2018 without a ticket (my own fault).
Revenue staff stopped and interviewed me (I openly admitted the mistake (forgot my wallet) I had no intention to avoid the fare I made a human mistake.
I wasn’t offered a penalty fare or payment option via bill. Nor was the process explained to me or information given.
Fast forward to this week (18/11/18) I have received a letter from the revenue collection contractor asking me to make a written submission and provide any mitigation.
Again I’ve admitted my mistake and will accept whatever punishment that is coming my way.
The fare was £5.20.
Is there a maximum period between offence and first contact from revenue contractor ?
I’ve seen it on the Cardiff Uni student union advice page that they must make contact and ask for mitigation within 21 days of offence?
Is this correct ?
Like I say if they have acted correctly then fair play guv, but if they do need to make contact within a certain period which has expired making the offence void then obviously I’ll fight it.
Any advice would be great.
