Looking for help.
I was involved in a petrol drive off.
The incident :
I pulled into the service station, filled my car up, went into the servo, grabbed a drink, and went to the counter. The cashier asked me a question which I didn't pay much attention to and I then handed him my card where he solely processed the transaction. I left believing I had paid.
Few days later, the police got in contact with me and told me I had not paid for fuel, paid for the drink though. I was also informed that the cashier had asked me the question if I had fuel and I nodded no.
The officer also stated that he hadn't completed the investigation and would get in contact with me for further instructions. He never got back to me.
I recently received a summons to appear in court for the matter. I was also told that if I had reconciled the matter it would not have taken further. I was not aware of this and in my mind the matter was still under investigation.
I would have paid immediately if I knew.
Does anyone have any opinions or further questions so I can understand where to go from here?
Thanks
