Navigating Transport Fines: My Experience with TFL
Hello, fellow commuters,
I wanted to share my recent experience regarding an issue I encountered with Transport for London (TFL) and seek your advice on what to do next.
About two months ago, I made the mistake of not tapping in and out during my journey. Shortly after, I received a letter from TFL notifying me that my case was being considered for fraud. It was an alarming situation that I hadn’t anticipated.
Upon receiving the letter, I promptly accepted the charge and submitted my details as requested—this was about a week after the incident occurred. However, it has now been nearly six weeks, and I am yet to hear back from TFL regarding the outcome of my case.
I’ve heard that failing to pay fines on time can lead to increased penalties, which has started to worry me. Should I be concerned about the lack of communication from TFL, or is this waiting period typical?
Any advice or insights from those who have faced similar situations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!
