Good news received a letter yesterday saying they will settle out of court even after TIL wanted to continue the case after the last letter. The sum came to £269, which is a lot, but much better than having a criminal record and going through the hassle of going court. i have certainly learned...
Bad news. It seems they just ignored what i sent in my letter similar to other peoples experiences. I have seen on other posts that its possible to still agree out of court settlement with cross country directly by calling them. Should i give this a go or just wait for the next letter and see...
I have already sent the letter yesterday. I didnt include this but i will be sure to mention this if it does go further. I already have stated in the letter i can provide screenshots of past tickets on the app to prove i have never done this before. I will update once i get a reply.
I have not mentioned this as i dont think they care if the refund was successful or not. All they care is the fact i attempted to refund the ticket when i shouldnt have
I definitely scanned the ticket through the barrier and I think your friend is correct, as when I checked to see if the ticket had been refunded a couple of hours later it was unsuccessful.

Yeah i feel this will be what i do if they dont accept out of court settlement after this letter
Sorry for the confusion. Yes i defiantly am going to send this second letter

again apologised
Yes i can confirm it is Transport Investigations Ltd and i also noticed this when browsing through similar posts. I really hope they offer settlement as i have been stressing over the outcome of this situation all week.
This is what i written in my first letter
I am very worried after receiving your letter and wanted to sort the matter out as soon as possible. I am extremely sorry that this incident occurred and hope you will accept my most sincere apologies. I am a student and don’t want this stupid mistake...
Once i had refunded the ticket and spent a few minutes realising what i had just done i had seen that there was a railway revenue protection staff making his way down the train so i intended on telling him what happened and expecting him to make me pay for another ticket. However when he did...
