  • Marks and S & Boots

    Hi I was caught lifting in Boots and they found items from M and S. The RLP security staff took the goods after running after me after I left the store and then retrieved the goods when I was called back in.

    I know I am due a fine soon.. if I don't pay as you suggest will they send bayliffs to my door? I still live with my parents and don't want them to know.



    Also Boots took my advantage card but can see they haven't cancelled it so I have ordered another.

    If you get a letter from a company like RLP (there are others) asking for money in compensation then ignore the letters. Only courts can issue fines and it would seem that has not got that far. Neither can bailiffs come calling as there is no debt.

    Did Boots security take back the M&S goods?

    As said we don't condone shop lifting take this as a warning and don't do it again. Next time you may not be so lucky and the police may be called and you WILL get a fine and a criminal record.

      Hi,

      I know what I did was wrong not really an excuse but nearly losing my job because I can't hit the sales targets has got me depressed.

      They said they wasn't going to take this matter to the police.

      - - - Updated - - -

      No I won't be ever doing this again.

      RLP Was the letter I got.

      Then the other to say I was no longer invited to shop at the store.

        Boots called M and S and they took the goods back.

        Is there a telephone line for legal beagles?

          Why did M and S take my photo? If the police were going to be involved she would have called them then?

          Is it to keep on M and S records?

          Boots took no photo issued me a RLP letter and no entry to that Boots store and M and S issued a no entry letter to stores.

            [MENTION=100926]Unknown12345[/MENTION] ... please try not to worry!! The police were not called, RLP are not going to take you to court, you will not have bailiffs knocking.

            Take it as a lesson learned and ignore RLP. Have a look around the forum and read other RLP threads ... these letters are just speculative invoices/begging letters that are better ignored than worried about xx
            Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

              Thanks Kati

              If M and S are going to take no further action, why did they take my photo?

                @Kati
                maybe to keep in the staff room or in their records?? Or possibly as a scare tactic??

                No police were called at the time, and so the shops involved wouldn't bother with it now (they'd have to explain why they had waited so long).
                RLP cannot take you to court for this ... only the shops involved have the right to initiate court action (and they won't bother now it's been passed to RLP).

                  Hi,

                  I rang national advice bureau and they said it has to be paid. Like parking tickets that say they don't have to be paid?

                  Is this correct?

                  Thanks

                        Re: Marks and S & Boots

                        That's CAB arse covering, basically, their first option of what to do is correct...

                        If you get a letter demanding payment for losses, these are some of the things you could do:
                        • ignore the letter – if you do this you are taking the chance that the business won't take any further legal action against you. However, you will probably get more letters demanding payment, and threatening court action against you




                        The link I posted is basically where CAB assisted two young girls who were being hassled by RLP and taken to court by the retailer ( Boots, as it happens) - Boots/RLP lost in court as they simply could not justify their claim. Hence it annoys me a bit that CAB tend to say to pay it.

                        The ONLY reason I'd ever say to pay it is if the letters were seriously affecting your health/wellbeing. So far as I am aware neither RLP (nor the retailers signed up to their scheme) have tried to sue an individual 'shoplifter' since the Oxford case. If you have looked through any of the threads on here where people have been in your position, you'll see they just kind of die off as RLP get bored hassling them...

                        I've just popped all the letters together in one place so you know what to expect. http://legalbeagles.info/forums/show...ry-Letters-RLP

                              Normally it seems 4 letters then a 'debt collection' agency send one or two letters. That is normally it.
