Thank you :) I've received the same letter so I'm going to pay it to get this over with. Don't want to risk court with there not being any cctv footage and then the fact I may get fined an even higher amount. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this situation though! :)

Just a update - my friend had received a letter saying they'll settle it if she pays 130 out of court which is double the amount that was owed originally. Is this correct that they can settle it for double? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It was from transport investigations that...

I don't know what type of person you seem to think I am judging by previous posts on the situation. I'm looking for help in the matter hence why I have clearly told all the facts of the situation. I have nothing to hide. I want some genuine help as I have never been in this situation and am...

thanks for everyone's input on the situation, hopefully I'll be able to get this sorted before it goes to court but if not I'll hope for the benefit of the doubt!

I'm going to send one last letter to both cross country and transport investigations and explain it one more time and also offering to settle things so hopefully they'll agree

Yes. But I was not going to put my Christmas with my family on hold. I didn't know when it would arrive and I certainly believed they would understand. Like said previously I don't know why my friend didn't pay so I can't comment on that --- old post above --- --- new post below ---...

It's not that I didn't receive it it's the fact that for the 21 day period that I had to pay i was away visiting family in london for a month to be precise which I explained to them (I have proof and witness of this) but they just will not listen

Would they not take into consideration the fact of what lead up to this and also the reasons as to why I did not pay at first obviously due to funds and also the 21 days as to which I have evidence for? I've offered several times to pay as well which I can't understand why they won't accept

Yeah I can understand, he told me and my friend we had the correct tickets for the train (I don't know the reasons she didn't pay within the 21 days though) I give up offering to pay transport investigations and sending letters to Cross-country as they never reply and transport investigations...

I've just double checked and believe it is definitely bye law 18.1 or 18.2 Suppose that's gave me some sort of hope then as that's what I was most concerned about! All I can say in my defence is that my witness would be my friend as they were with me and they no longer have CCTV, I don't...

deleted --- old post above --- --- new post below --- In the letters I've received it keeps referring to Bye law year 1889 and National railway Bye law 2005 bye law 18? Sorry I'm not much use at the moment just I don't have all the paper work in front of me but they keep highlighting 'Fare...

I've already wrote to them asking to pay the full amount which I got no response to & it was then passed onto transport investigations which I've also offered several times to pay but they refuse to accept and keep saying they're going forwards with prosecution even though I've explained...

I am 100% certain it was someone of authority that I asked. I completely understand, my friend was with me at the time so she would be able to confirm exactly what happened and what was said. My main issue with this is the fact I have offered to pay several times and explained why I didn't in...

Yeah exactly, sorry I think I've caused a bit of confusion, the ticket I had was for a Virgin train but I got on the cross country and they have now passed the matter onto Transport investigations who are taking me to court. I've offered to pay countless of times but they are adamant I was...

Hi, Sorry I think I've caused a bit of confusion, the ticket I had was for the virgin train but I got onto the CrossCountry who have now passed the case onto transport investigations who have now sent court summons. I have sent letters to cross country offering to pay but they have never...

Sorry I think I've caused some confusion, it was Cross-country that sent the first letter for payment then they passed it onto Transport investigations to pursue and they are the ones that have sent court summons.

Yeah exactly, I'll try contacting them and hope for the best! Yeah I've sent a few letters saying the exact same situation and offering to pay countless of times which I've taken copies of and the fact I was away from the property for the 21 day period which I have witness to

I asked him if the ticket I had whilst showing him was valid for the train that had arrived at the station

It was advance single from Durham to Doncaster for the 8:38 train on the 28th November. My friend had a railcard discount but I didn't and had a full advance single. It was for a virgin east train which we got onto a crosscountry after asking the station employer if it was the correct train.
