Have a bit of an update: I think the RPI actually used the wrong form: she issued me with a tiny slip, it said I could complete the journey as long as I produced the season ticket in the next 14 days. I dont have a season ticket, never have, never said I did and was just travelling on a regular...

They definitely have my correct address. I was told by the RPI I would hear from them after two weeks, and so many people claim to have received the letter asking for their side of the story very shortly after - two weeks seems common.

I didnt think you said 6 weeks. I understand the 6 months for the papers to be laid in a court But, it seems, on all the cases I have read, many of which are much more serious than mine - i,e people giving false details, adults travelling on children's tickets, and these people have heard from...

still havent heard anything what so ever

are you sure?? I think it does say something in the company's policy on this.

I think however we are meant to hear back from them. That is what the RPI said at Cambridge station. She also said I would get a letter after only 2 weeks. The rail company also states I THINK that you will hear within 21 days - i am also not confusing that with the 21 days you have to appeal

I haven't heard anything yet - what does this mean??

Thank you for all your contributions - can anyone shed light from previous experiences on what might happen in my case? I am very worried about this letter I will receive.

all is accurate and I believe complete - I can't think of anything i'm missing out anyway.

Good point - i see from their point of view you could just pick one up and show it and then claim it was an out of date part of a 2part return- Luckily I hung on to the 1st part of the return ticket to london and I still have it now thank goodness and it was stamped on the way from Cambridge to...

She explained exactly what was going to happen but not why - I said i have no idea why this caution is relevant to me, and then she simply read it out again. i understood its function, but not why it was necessary in the first place for my situation. I didnt realise that the situation had...

exactly! - youve expressed that much better than I did - especially paying on the spot with no overdraft limit --- old post above --- --- new post below --- So, do we think that the RPI is going to have a strong case? It already seems confused as they have not been able to decide if they think...

I also thought that later payment was an option. Also, as a student, I really dont have much in my bank account. I had purchased the tickets in advance of me travelling as well. I would understand more if I was travelling on a ticket which I had to have bought on the same day - seems unlikely...

^ This is something I would be interested in as well. I also did not even understand the implications of being under caution. But i do not feel the RPI could have explained any implications. Why on earth would I choose not to pay then and there If I had known I would be receiving a letter of...

I think Island is right. I would have paid then and there on principle but: I did not realise it was compulsory and i did not know I had enough in my bank account. What is the usual result of a situation like this?

Again, thank you for all the advice. I am certain a penalty fare was not issued. The lady said "forget the letter about the 21 days." so im sure it was taken to a higher level. The Greater Anglican website seems very reasonable: the only thing I have not been able to do was pay then and there on...

Im not sure if I was offered the option to just pay the fare, perhaps I was - I actually cannot remember. The problem was it was not made clear to me that that would escalate the situation. I was under the impression that the letter I would receive would give me payment options and the 21 days...

But why was I then interviewed under caution? And I therefore think I am receiving a prosecution letter

youre quite right - 15:85 with the rail card - Any route permitted - that is the ticket I accidentally bought and the lady, after initially talking about a penalty notice, suddenly interviewed me under caution and took away my incorrect 2nd part of the return. The slip literally just says...

Hi, I would be so grateful if I could message you personally :)
