Thank You- Settlement with Rail Company

[DKL111]

Hello,

 

 

I did not post a query on the forum but just wanted to thank you for providing such a valuable resource.

 

I foolishly attempted to use someone else's annual travelcard and was stopped at the entry barrier.

I provided my details to the inspector and bought a ticket and went on my way.

 

 

I received a letter from the rail company a few weeks later informing me that they intended to prosecute, and asking for my version of events.

 

 

I wrote back a brief contrite reply, outlining the facts, apologising and asking if it would be possible to cover their costs to avoid further action.

I then received a letter asking me to contact them.

 

 

After speaking to them on the phone, they have been happy to settle the matter if I pay their admin costs.

The outcome has been a huge relief to me, after weeks of worry and several sleepless nights.

 

 

This forum provided incredibly useful guidance as to how to respond to the letter and it was helpful to read that others have been through similar issues and managed to avoid court action.

 

 

Thank you all for the time you take to help people, provide useful templates and advice.

 

 

I have made a donation.

Thanks for taking the time to post this, DKL111.

 

It's so nice when people do this, especially when we've only indirectly aided them!
