Hi LaurynM, I can not send PM, please PM me your email or any other contact. I'd like to ask you something. Appreciated.

Hi all, My landlord failed to register the deposit within 30 working days. They did it eventually 3 months after the rent started. Also they have never provided the full information under reg 42. I am thinking to lodge an initial writ for summary application. Could some one post (or send me) an writ that worked for you? Much appreciated. Also, can the simple procedure be used instead of summary application if the sought sanction is less than £5000? What is your view on that?

I can, but wont it be duplication of this one? After all it is about the same thing?

Thanks a lot. So in effect what you are saying is: I have admitted that I have tried stealing something, but got caught and the item was recovered by the store (a fact) if they take me to court, they will need to persuade the judge that I have to pay the amount they demand. And this amount is to cover store's expenses for this an that. And this persuasion is the hard part for them. Am I right?

Thanks to all again. It is my paranoia but just to ask the same question again. does the fact I have received community resolution (in effect admitting the crime) changes anything? Should I still not pay? I think the general rule to ignore RLP is valid if no police was involved and no official record was created (albeit may be not in CRB). Is this the case or one should ignore them even with a police document signed, admitting the theft?

Thanks to both of you. I will send a letter as suggested and ignore afterwards. As of CR, yes I was wondering if it will show on CRB. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. What should I do then. Ignore the letter? I have read the CR page you provided. I am a bit uncertain IS it a criminal record or NOT. Any opinions on that too?

Hi all, after doing something very stupid (shoplifting an item worth 8 quid) and being caught, it is my turn to ask the same question. I have received a letter from RLP. They demand 90 pounds. My situation: -Got caught with the item. -The item was recovered by the store is sell-able condition. -Police came and gave me a community resolution. I signed the resolution. It states that I admit shoplifting an 8 pounds worth item. It was signed by the PCs and the store security guys as well. I also apologized (a bit too late, I know) and this was noted in the resolution. -Received a letter from RLP demanding 90 pounds. While I am ashamed of what I've done, I think criminal record is bad enough penalty I got to myself. I also think a fair compensation is OK to the store. I dont think 90 pounds is a fair amount. While I got the general idea I should NOT pay, does the fact I have received community resolution (in effect admitting the crime) changes anything? Should I still not pay? Any suggestions welcomed.

anyone any idea? thanks

Hi all, I have booked a ski holiday last year and 6 day later broke my arm so I couldnt go. I requested cancellation and they did cancel it, but didnt refund any money. They said to was too soon to the departure date. Here are the details: Booked from inghams in lastminute.com. It was on offer. Date booked 13. jan 2010. Holday dates 6 feb-13 feb 2010. Date cancelled 19 jan 2010. Since I cancelled within the cool-off period do they have the right NOT to refund me? Does the cancellation/refund part of the cool-off period apply for holidays? I assume there is something in the T&C that says it is not refundable XXX days before departure. But does this overrides the EU cool-off period if it applies to holidays? Thanks for all clues.
