    Just a little background, about 2 years ago I went on the train without my pass, and I was caught and given a ticket.

    I was 17 at the time, and just ignored it until I got a 'pay up or you're going to court', I panicked and paid up.

    That was a year ago. So half an hour ago i get a knock on my door. It's a woman giving me a letter, a summons to be seen in court and i'm half shitting myself with fright and half totally pissed off.

    I have the number to call in the morning, but is there anything else I can do?

    In all honesty, I have no idea! But I'm here if you need to talk.

    Did they give you a receipt or something similar after paying? Because if they don't have a record, you might have to pay it again, which is not fun.

    Best of Luck!

    I didnt go in anywhere to pay it, I paid through credit card by mail, so I have no receipt. I'm gonna check with the bank to see if I can get any proof that i paid it.

    If you paid via credit card, they should be able to pull up the transaction. Contact the credit card company, give them a date range and a dollar amount, and ask for a statement.

    It's not a big deal if you paid. Just show them proof and they'll write it off as an accounting error. If you didn't pay, just pay it and they'll say ok bye.
