Please, I had a fare evasion on southeastern and they sent me letter about 3 weeks. I replied the letter last week opting for an out of court settlement and pleading it won’t happen again. My question now is how long does it takes them to reply the letter. I am curious because I don’t want it to escalate further.
Thank you.

Thank you.
They have up to six months to decide if they wish will offer to settle rather than prosecute. Be patient - it could well be a few weeks yet.

(And make sure you can always access your mail.)

Hello Veteran, it has been 3weeks since I sent back the letter from southEastern railway as regarding my fair evasion but I haven't gotten any feedback yet, please I am worried, do you think they will agree for the out of court settlement?

As previously outlined - this could be a painful waiting game. They’ve up to six months from the date of the offence to lodge a prosecution.

If you’re certain you have replied, I’d await further correspondence.

I think you mean fare evasion - fair evasion means something completely different :lol:

Hello veteran, I got a letter from southEastern railway outing for an out of court settlement. I was asking to pay an administrative cost of £150 along side the fares I evaded which was around £83. Had made the payment. Thank you for all your responses.
