Your bank probably won't appreciate all the declined payments and that's probably fraud.

Well when I say "won't appreciate" I mean "will probably tell you to gently caress off if you keep doing it" and at the very least "will find it very suspicious"

It's disappointing, I don't know if i can vote SNP this time around even if does count as a "wasted vote" (voted Labour Last time and they actually gained my seat from the SNP) because Joanna Cherry is a terf, a transphobic piece of poo poo and just a general liar when it comes to trans issues.

It's not probably fraud, it's definitely fraud.

Also if your first payment is later declined then you can't use that card again until you pay for the tickets, tfl blocks your card.

Hello thread, dumb question but since moving to the big city I've realised that on the tube tfl only take 10p when you use contactless on the tube then bills you the rest a few days later. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I were to use a secondary debit card with like 50p on it. The latter payment would be declined, but what are they going to do about it? (Assuming you're using an account that doesn't permit unauthorised overdrafts)

That 10p is actually a placeholder for the authorisation request they make which is for the maximum payable fare from that station. This doesn't actually happen in realtime, but can be anything up to 30 minutes later (they batch up the authorisations). When the authorisation failed the card would get flagged and the next barrier you attempted to go through would decline, so you'd have to speak to TfL staff to get it unflagged - this also happens if you chargeback an old fare. At reconciliation at the end of the day they charge you the actual amount of the journey and release the authorisation hold.

You probably wouldn't get a penalty fare the first time, as long as you were able to pay the normal fare and convince the staff it was an honest mistake, but you'd definitely have your details taken and repeat offences would get you penalty fares and then eventually prosecution.

e: This is the model implementation but TfL often vary from it massively depending on load on the system, it's possible your card many not get flagged for several days.

Yeah, it’s fraud. Akin to tampering with an electricity metre, under the Fraud Act 2006 s.11 it’s obtaining a service dishonestly, and companies tend to pursue this quite attentively, for the supposed deterrent effect. Edit you’d be looking at fines, and the possibility of up to 12 months imprisonment.

Why do you think so? Seems like a big double standard, everyone else shows up on the British regime's state TV and nobody criticizes them for it.

Thanks to one of those Channel 5 fly on the wall shows I now know that bypassed gas supplies are also a thing, and am loving amazed that people are willing to risk bypassing the meter (which also includes the pressure regulator) at all, let alone pay money to a random bloke to gently caress around with their gas piping.

Because britain is 90% white, which means there are a lot of places where you never see anyone who isn't white, and when you do a certain section of the population loses its loving mind.

Same reason people act as if a ton of benefit fraud happens when it's really a fraction of a percent of benefit spending. To give the proles someone to be mad at instead of the right people to be mad at.

Like seriously look through the demographics of these European nations and realize just how loving insane the far right is and how the media have shamelessly fueled their anti-immigrant rhetoric.

France is literally 92% secular/Judeo-Christian, hardly the Battle of Tours
