Yeah i sent the letter back Tuesday to arrive today. On the back, as requested i put that i was at full fault but explained about my family member and that i would accept any fine they would give me. I also put about the card and their member of staff but pointed out i wasn't trying to shift the blame to either of these things

A couple of weeks ago i was travelling from Crewe to Stockport and due to a change in my circumstances i hadn't bought a return ticket. I had to rush home as a close family member had been taken to hospital and i wasn't thinking straight. I ran for the train and just got on. When i arrived at Stockport, my head wasn't in the right place and i had said i had traveled from Wilmslow instead of Crewe. Eventually i told the truth when i had calmed down a bit. I went to pay at the exit and my card wasn't accepted in the machine. I also offered to go under supervision to the cash point to get the required money but this was rejected. They took my details and said they would be in contact. I received the letter last week and i sent it back explaining what had happened. I was just wondering what i would be liable to pay and if i would need to go to court. Also i am due to fly to America to do my second year of University study there in August and i would like this to be solved by then. Does anyone have any idea how long these cases take to finish?
