well, he told me he works at primark...primark is very close to my place...they thing of ignore it is that they will sent more people to my place!! what can I do??

Hi, I know silly, but I got caught shoplifting from Primark one month ago..the total value was GBP30. I know it's sooo silly and I learnt the lesson! I post here my story and everyone posted to not worry about. That I would receive the fine (don't remember the name of the organisation who sent it, but the police was not involved) and all the replies said to don't pay the fine, they will stop sending letters at some point. othis morning at 6.30am someone rang the bell, my boyfriend replied and he couldn't understand properly. Both of us got up from bed quite worried. He open the door and I was next to him, then I guys asked me in Spanish (I'm Spanish) if I were caught shoplifting at primark , and I said in the beginning "no" as my boyfriend was there and didn't him to know it. Then realised he doesn't speak Spanish and said "yes" as at this point I think is better say the truth. The guys was a Spanish Sales assistant from PRimark. He told me that they sent 2 letters to sign and didn't have any reply. I couldn't believe they sent this guy. I didn't receive any letter (it's true) and I told him that. HE told me he will come back tomorrow to give to me... I know what I did is horrible and I total mistake, I regret so much but how they send a guy at 6.30am to my house to tell me in front of someone else (my boyfriend in this case) something that should be confidential??? Also, someone of you told me the day I was caught PRimark wouldn't be involve anymore. ..I understand the company that have to send the fine contacted primark??? (I gave PRimark my real address that day for that reason they have it) This guy told me to pay the fine otherwise the police would be involved! I don't want this guy to come back to chase anymore!! Please help!!!! I'm scared!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks! I won't do it again! NEVER EVER!! I have one last questions...I guess if I don't pay the fine the RLP will send more letters...After how long they will stop? And also and more important for me...can they contact primark to give them my address and put action? THANKS!!!

Hi I got caught taking some items from primark (I know, sad)! They took me in to a room and took down my details from my Spanish ID and I gave them my real address to send the fine they told me the RLP will send in a couple of weeks or so. I'm over 18 so they didn't ask for my parents details. They made a copy of my Spanish ID and didn't call the police. The total amount was £35. I swear I learned the lesson but I'm really worried if I'm going to have any criminal record in the UK or it's going to be a problem if at some point I want to apply for a mortgage? Also the security guy told me the fine will be £130 but I read on this website that it's £180. Also read that I don't have to pay, just ignore it. The security guy told me if I don't pay it this would be taken to the court and I would have a real problem. Is that real? They have my real address so it's easy the RLP can ask for it and send the police to my address or something? I'm really worried and i'm overthinking the worst! I would really appreciate if you can give me some advise. Many thanks in advance.
