Hello, Thank you to you all for your advice.. I actually slept lastnight.. I am going to take the weekend to type up the letter and use the phrases you reccomended and I have already sent an E mail to tesco about the incident. I have to admit I was going to pay just to make this go away but now I am most certainly not. Again, Thank You.

Thats the people.. Thank you so much.. I pray to sleep tonight...

the solicitrs are DWF. it was just regular food shopping an it was all returned to the shelves and I did not sign anything... I am still mortified as it is not something I would do.

Hello all, I`m new to this so please bare with me.. I recently had a Hypo , which is severe low blood sugar that Diabetics sometimes get. It can result in drunk like or irrational behaviour.. back to the story, I was in Tesco doing my shop when this happened, I walked out without paying.. I`m not a shoplifter but I did never the less walk out without paying.. When I came too I was in a room at the rear of the store being guarded by a security guard.. I asked why I was there as I had no memory of the prior 45 minutes.. I was informed I was a thief and they was waiting for the Police to arrive.. At some point someone had given me a mars bar so that was why I had come back from the brink. The police said there would be NO charges and let me leave the store.. Today however I get a letter from a solicitors saying I owe Tesco £125 . .. Civil recovery.. should I pay ? do I have to pay ?
