I responded on the 21st of January, their letter dated 19th January. I haven’t yet received the letter however I assume it will be with me in the next few days, as I have frequently been putting my reference number in and yesterday it came up with to settle £74. It was a one off offence. I wasn’t worried as haven’t looked at this thread it seems people were being responded to quicker after sending their letter. I had contacted GTR and they did say they were busy. I have been worrying A LOT the last month so do try not to.
Hey :) any update on a letter?

When you say you have ben searching your reference number.. where is this!?

I believe this might be the website being referred to. Note that it redirects to another website and I cannot guarantee it is legitimate (others may be able to and I would not make any payment through it until they have) but it’s the only GTR payment portal I can find and other than the redirect I can’t see any red flags - it doesn’t just accept any name or reference as I’d expect a fake site to!

Dear All,

Just to say a huge thank you for your expert guidance and knowledge.
I received my out of court settlement today and I can’t even tell you the sense of relief. I am grateful to you all and of course thameslink and their understanding.

This is a great support network.

Good news. Keep your proof of payment and all the paperwork about this and keep it long term. In the unlikely event you need it.

Great news, thanks for the update! Would you be willing to share how much the settlement was? Would be helpful for us.
