You will need to wait and see what they ask when they write to you. It is not a crime to purchase child tickets, but is to use them if you are not a child, however if you did not use them they should not be including those in any settlement, although you might need to let them know if and when...

Are you in the age bracket that allows you to purchase such a Railcard? If so you could have avoided this for the sake of a £30 Railcard, but you cannot undo that now. If Greater Anglia agree to settle out of court they may well want each fare avoided, charged at the anytime single fare, so if...

I am sure many people do this, and we often see examples on this forum, but that does not make it right and chances are that eventually they will be caught and then find out how serious it is. If this is something your friends are doing I suggest you point them to this forum where they can see...

I am not sure if mentioning how many journeys you have used the new Railcard on is a good idea as it might make them think there could be more between expiry of the previous one and purchase of the new one, although mentioning you have now renewed your Railcard is fine.

What grounds did you mention in your previous appear and what was the reason given for it being rejected?

Probably not, but if you think it would prove that you did start your journey at that station you could request it, however depending on how long ago this happened it might no longer exist. I think they only tend to keep it for about 4 weeks.

I think this sounds like a good result and less that what you would have needed to pay for a solicitor. Just make sure you always purchase the correct tickets in the future

According to the original post, the op's son was asked for a ticket or proof of payment. They did not have a physical ticket as they had used contactless, and (as indicated by the OP in post 5) would probably thought they did not have any proof of payment. While they had the debit card with...

Sorry if I am missing something here, but what could he have done to not accept the penalty fare without making things worse?

I think we need to know more about what happened. When did this happen? Were you stopped on the train or at a station? Have you received any paperwork (either when stopped or any letters/emails since)? If so please upload redacted copies to the experts here can offer the best advice What was...

While I do not disagree with what you are saying, we can only advise based on what the OP has told us happened. If they have not provided us the full or correct version of events they will have to accept that we may not be providing the best advice. 1741674064 It is also possible that the...

I would hold off engaging a solicitor for now. I think there is still a good chance of gettiing an out of court settlement and the cost of a solicitor is likely to start around £500 to £1200 range. From other threads, the following firms have been mentioned as specialising in this area...

You might need to ask them again. Perhaps they missed your request when they read your previous letter. Wait and see if one of the experts on here comes back with any suggestions on how to word a 2nd attempt at requesting an out of court settlement from them.

Have you tried purchasing a cheap ticket on trip as suggested by @AlterEgo (Litchfield City to Litchfield Trent Valley) to see if that activates the railcard and if it does does it backdate to when you purchased it. (An even cheaper ticket would be St Ives to Carbis Bay). Are you able to...

@band Please can you create your own thread so that we can advise you appropriately. Your situation is not quite the same as that of Mehd

I wrote the following last night before anyone else had replied, but the thread disappeared and it would not allow me to post it. It has probably been superseded by some of the answers that have been posted since, but this was my advice at that point. This looks like a fishing exercise from...

What would happen in these instances. Would the ALR be valid before 10am? 1. A set swap happens at Birmingham New Street 2. The service terminates short at Birmingham New Street 3. A service that normally stops at Birmingham New Street, terminates there due to planned engineering work to be...

I would only expect them to charge 1 admin fee, although it could be higher then £150 but not likely to be 6x£150

Please can you post copies of any paperwork/letters/emails you have received with any identifying details removed, but from what you have said so far it is likely if you can make it go away for a payment of £70 that will be you best option.

It is likely they will, however until they contact you and you know what they are asking it is best not to try and contact them. If you do receive any comunication from them, return here to ask for further advice before replying 1741027871 Greater Anglia was also mentioned in that thread in...
