I will do!

I absolutely know what I have done is wrong, but don't want to be charged anything crazy for such a stupid mistake, particularly when it's some £2.50 rings! How long can I expect it to be before the letters come through? This all happened on Saturday

Thank you !

Thanks so much! I was told at the time that I will be sent a letter with a fine, so am I to ignore this as I don't owe anyone anything (other than primark if they so desire to charge me for anything.) I was just curious as to how the person I read about previously had received a phone call to their parents house - this can't happen unless I have given a phone number, is that correct? Thanks! -- went into a major panic as I'm dreaming of a police-based career and don't want this stupid mistake to affect it!

Hi! In need of help! I got caught taking £2.50 worth of rings from primark (pathetic I know)! They took me in to a room and took down my details from my driving licence and I gave them my uni adddress to send all letters to because I don't want my parents finding out! After reading numerous threads, I understand that they can't/won't send this case to the police etc, but I have some remaining questions: My questions are: - how, and will they get my phone number? I saw someone on here that had their parents home called by a 'debt collector' ; can they do this if I gave only my address details? I can't risk ignoring all letters and then my parents finding out over the phone - will this affect checks on CRB's etc/ affect my future career within the police force (I read that sometimes they check EVERYTHING), particularly if you want to work with 'vulnerable people'- which I do -can I guarantee that they will send the letters to my uni address rather than my home address, and what happens in July when I have to move out and i have no access to the letters at all Thanks!
