I got one of these letter also:
- I requested a list
- Some examples were provided.
- I agreed to pay to make it go away (stipulating that I do not accept it is fraud but would pay for it to go away, given it was only a few claims from years of frequent travel)
- A total made up of an unknown number of claims and a £50 charge for investigation was received...
Okay so far?
However... On analysis, the list assumed I should have caught trains that did not stop at my destination prior to the train I subsequently claimed against... I queried this and am waiting on a reply. I am fortunate I was able to see their mistake, many won't, I am livid.
I have travelled into Liverpool Street many thousands of times, using the gate is required... However, it is common for:
1. a card or pass not fail at the gate, on which occasion either
1a. the guard flashes you through with their card
1b. you are ushered to the wheelchair access gate - where a guard will check your ticket or card and allow you through
2. The gates are open
3. The gates are not working
4. The platform/train to change and you are then asked to travel to another set of gates, at which point the card fails and the guard flashes you through on their card
My problem is that I did not keep a record of these occurrences... Did anyone else?
On one specific claim, I remember getting to the train and seeing a wall of arms and legs... Apparently I was meant to board this train and the claim is considered fraud.
