Got MG11 statement last week

[ysk]

I had stopped by the revenue officer last Wednesday at Waterloo train station and the MG11 statement has been issued. Shall I wait for the prosecute team (SWR) write to me or better to write to them?
Thanks in advance.

Wait. If you give us more information we can provide advice on what to do when you receive a letter from SWR and what the likely consequences will be.

Agreed. You need to wait for their letter which is likely to take a few weeks.

Can I chat with you or PM privately?

Not till you've had 5 posts or so - and forum policy is not to offer advice privately.

 

[ysk]

I see, thanks

There is a PM facility but the forum works because we are a group of extremely knowledgeable people when it comes to this sort of thing. You will see that if you look at other threads in this section.

It’s not our policy to give advice outside of the main forum, and while I understand why you might not want to divulge too many details on a private forum about what happened, I bet that we’ll have seen it somewhere in the past!

Does SWR normally do out of court settlement?

Does SWR normally do out of court settlement?

In our experience, yes.

Search the forum for “swr out of court settlement” and you will see that they do, but this relies on people putting information into the forum in the first place and not trying to hide using private messages!
Sorry, but this forum only works when people share information, with suitable redactions of course.

Hi, I'm relieved to inform that's I received a letter from SWR as attached. I choose to make the payment to settle the case. Anyway thanks for the advised from everyone.

 

[Hadders]

Thanks for letting us know.

It would be interesting to know more details about why you were stopped. Normally train companies write asking for an explanation before offering a settlement but in this case it appears that they've offered a settlement straight away, which is unusual. I'm assuming that the case was very straightforward but it would be good know to assist us in providing appropriate advice to others in the future.

@ysk. Thanks for letting us know. A £120 admin fee might seems a lot for having bunked a £13.80 fare (something like a one-way trip from Woking to Waterloo, presumably?). Now that you've paid, this at least, should be the end of the matter and the key thing is that you've not been taken to court, where, if you'd been found guilty, the incident might have ended up costing you a lot more.
