Help needed: Ticket from closer station!

Thanks for the response, I will most likely be writing this up and sending it Monday by recorded delivery ( good idea? ) , obviously its going to be my neatest writing but does that have any sort of impact?

Not in my experience in dealing with correspondence, but I can't speak for whoever reads your letter!

It is the tone of what is said that is most important, and while it is nice to have a neat and tidy, professional looking letter, the person who makes the decisions will, or rather should, be far more interested in the facts than the presentation.

Very good idea.

Is it too harsh to be thinking that someone who has deliberately attempted to defraud a transport company is not suited for employment in a role that requires absolute honesty & integrity?

No it's not. However, solicitors and accountants are probably the profession we see most often on here, and by helping them wriggle out of a foolish mistake, they will perhaps develop an understanding in the area of railway prosecutions, such that in the future they can perhaps help others.

Thanks very much for all the extra help guys, am I to understand now that once they receive the letter, I still wont hear back for quite a while? as I've seen on some other threads, ppl can sometimes be waiting around 5 months

Ok I have written up my letter, and shall be posting it via special delivery tomorrow. When I get my reply, I will let you guys know. More importantly right now, I just want to say thank you to everybody who has helped me out here, I would be much more a nervous wreck about this if it wasn't for your help.

See you soon

Hello again guys,

I wasn't expecting a reply till October roughly, however i'm glad this came through earlier. Good news is, I was issued with Fixed Penalty Notice, for £80 plus the £6 fare I was short on. I payed this immediately over the phone and received a receipt of payment via email. I just want to say a big thanks again to everybody who commented.

The only thing that niggles at me now is, will I receive further correspondence to acknowledge this or not? As my receipt for payment only stands as proof of payment, and not written acceptance of the matter being closed, even though they mention this in the fixed penalty notice

Many thanks

Thanks for the update. I am glad that the matter has been resolved. Now make sure you stay on the straight and narrow as next time they will not be as lenient.

As for further correspondence. There is unlikely to be any I think. The receipt for payment should be your proof that the matter has been settled.
