This is good news under the circumstances. Well done for getting through to them.

A bit of extra advice

Keep copies of all your paperwork, your replies to them and proof of this payment and agreement to settle out of court. Be prepared to keep this long term (at least a year possibly longer).

and make sure that going forward all your rail tickets are correct as if they find a problem in future they have your details and may not agree a settlement on another occasion if they think you might not have learned a lesson. Do everything you can to avoid even making a genuine mistake with the wrong ticket in future. For example ask at station ticket office before you get on a train if you are ever unsure if your ticket is correct.

Thank you , it was really stressful but after numerous call to them and begging them to reconsider it , it worked at the end , they might have received my letter but didn’t read it as I have proof it was delivered.
it’s been 6 month now and I always make sure when I tap in it goes through when there is no barriers .
