Hey there,
A couple of weeks back I was accused of fare evasion, I found these forums very informative and they helped me so much. Because of this I wanted to share my story to help other people going through a similar thing.
I knew that I was going to get a letter in the post asking me to come to court etc and I thought I was going to have to wait some agonising months before that letter came. However I sought legal advice (from a solicitor) and he was able to settle my case out of court a day after I contacted him, even before any letter had arrived.
So my message is, it is possible to settle out of court. I think having a solicitor will not only speed up the process but the company are more likely to settle out of court, so I would advice that.
Good luck for anyone going trough a similar thing.
Happy to answer any questions.
