Default SWT hounded my family over £2 fine

A spokeswoman for SWT said: "While it is unfortunate this case has
been escalated to such an extent, it is our belief that it could have
been resolved by the customer long before it reached this stage." A
spokesman for Her Majesty's Courts Service said: "This matter has not
been brought to our attention previously. We would welcome details
from Mr Warwick so we can look into it."


I assume Mr Warwick complied with a request to provide his name and
address to the ticket inspector. He must have known at that stage
that there was a debt owed to SWT. Any reasonable person would have
done something about it rather than waiting for one year.

I wonder if he ever had a season ticket at all? AIUI a visit to a ticket
office with his valid season would have immediately cancelled the UFN (but
there may be a limt to how often this can be done).

As is usual with these stories, we'll never get all the relevant info...
