HI EVERYONE !

firstly i know this is definitely in the wrong section of the forum but. i could not find the right one so i am sorry mods!

i have been panicing about a certain letter i recieved today and scrolled the internet for advice etc

and came across this website which in all my days of hobbies and hobbie related forums have never seen such a nice one as this.

Everyone ive seen replying is honest and un judging!

the letter i recieved today was from RLP the civil recovery specialists...

im going to be honest and its so embarrasing i could let the world swallow me up

i might of even shed a couple tears of embarrsement

i was caught shop lifting in a major supermarket. stupid i know :(

i was taken to a room in the back and asked have i got anything to say

i just gave them the goods backs which was in perfect order.

they explained i was banned from the store and would be looking for reclaim damages costs from me

then police was called and asked me the usual.. have i been in trouble etc.

they gave me a 80 pound penalty

i was then allowed to leave.

i paid the 80 pound then today

i recieved the letter demanding 147.50 for damages and distraction of staff etc

i am in a really bad part of my life atm. not to bore you and that would really topple my life atm.

i paid the police fine as i acknowledged my wrong doing and was willing to accept that slap on my wrists.

but this is rather... stressful as im not the most brightest person or even confident person to deal with this.

can anyone shed some light on this situation.

i feel its a bit unique as the others i have read havent been the exact same circumstances as mine.

i wil be donating to the forum from my penny pot as i honestly feel i am able to be honest without judgement here and i thank you all for that.

for the record im 22 and live in england.

thank you

Thread moved to the appropriate forum.

Regards

Andy

im guessing its the. write a one line to them.

ignore all other letters

only thing im concerned about is. the dca .. how are they shooed away ?

has anyone personally whos posting gone through this system and came out the other side.

as in.. are we hearing this advice from the horses mouth kind of thing ?

sorry... in kind of panic street guys :/

do not pay RLP ANYTHING

they are NOT any kind of legal establishment.

the police have fined you [FPN]

end off the matter

dx

dca's are NOT BAILIFF

they have NO SUCH BAILIFF LEGAL POWERS

the other thing to remember is

THIS IS NOT A DEBT

its a speculative invoice on supposed losses.

dx

Ignore RLP, this is a well worn con trick.

You've paid your dues to the police profit pocket that is the end of it.

thanks for the reply d

and in regards to the DCA ? ,

is there any protocol used to usher these away like the RLP?

i though DCA hold some sort of autority and i really dont want them knocking on my door etc.

im trying to make yourself repeat yourself alot like in other threads

il keep posting in the thread as more letters come...

ok... wow guys.. if i could hug you i would. you have no idea how confident you all make me feel.

when should i write the infamous one liner to Jackie i believe her name is ?

DCA's have NO authority, ignore them as well.

Hi.

You are in good hands here.

As I'm sure you are aware, shoplifting is a crime and is dealt with by the criminal justice procedure. This part is now over as you paid the fixed penalty of £80.

RLP are completely unconnected and have no involvement with the criminal justrice system but they'd like you to believe they have, hence they use phrases such as 'iniltially agreed with APCO', rather misleadingly in my opinion.

RLP are simply representatives of the store involved and operate on a civil basis, basically claiming that your actions cost the store £147.50, this is rubbish, their claim has no strong legal basis and when tested in court in Oxford was found to be flawed.

So, dont pay them, you owe nothing, you will get some more increasingly desperate letters from RLP and unfortunately they will spy on you on this forum, but don't worry about it, just scan and post up any letters you receive.

Say hi to jackie to me. Tell her better luck with her next victim.

i feel a little cheap giving so little but i donated 2.50 as thats all i have spare at this moment. once i get back on track i wil donate again.

thank you so much guys.

Well done, every bit helps others who need help.

Hello there.

Thank you very much for the donation. Every donation matters to us, we don't ask you to give what you can't afford. And it will enable us to be here for other people like you.

when should i send the one liner and by posted... first or second class... haha. i think ill opt for the second class. no expense spared on money grabbers eh.

Post it second class and use free proof of posting. This silly woman isnt worth the money a first class stamp costs.

Okay right

I chose not to write a letter and have received a letter 2 weeks ago. saying. They're giving me another 2 weeks

Today I came home to a letter

Stating that ignoring it will not make it go away

After all the court cases. Legal fees. It will be sought out at 8 percent per annum

Also that I've failed to comply with the practises direction of pre action conduct and the civil procedure rules 1998.

Regrettablely they must advise there client it is now in position to issue proceedings against me and for the full claim

Aswell as,

They're holding my information and that they are going on what they was told and I I wish to give my version I events to do so.

If I do not dispute the claim and there are no other circumstances relevant I need to settle the claim.

And another 14 days or incurring costs etc

So originally I was given 14 days then 14 days. Now... Another 14 days.

I'm moving flat within the next 2 weeks and it will be empty.

Should I even bother writing to let them know or ?

Just to keep you all updated

WAAO

Keep ignoring it. you're almost there. How can you comply with the PAC and CPR's when no debt exists? Should she be silly enough to get a claim going ( and it will likely be the first one in 2 years, out of hundreds of people she has tried to get money from ) , it is easily defended.

If you could do me a favour? Any chance you can scan that letter up for us in PDF format, making sure you have edited out any personal info?

Oh. An BTW. I received a letter off my local council I think I should call it. Let's say. Anyone. The courts... And tribunal services. Stating they found my payment to police on the suspense records ??? And a cheque for 80 will be sent within 28 days

I received another letter from the counts and tribunal services with a cheque attached to the bottom for 80 pound.

Anyone know what this Is. I'm kind of scared to put it in my bank ?

Do I have to pay them again. Nothing of that was mentioned in my letter

I did pay the police 80 pounds for the theft and it had

My incident code on the letter and date I paid.

usual drivel that you'll find exact copies elsewhere here

please scan up you letter we want a laugh ...

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

Today I came home to a letter

 

Stating that ignoring it will not make it go away

 

In the case of RLP, ignoring does make them go away, but only after they've wasted some money on paper, envelopes and stamps sending a series of bullying letters.

Oh. An BTW. I received a letter off my local council I think I should call it. Let's say. Anyone. The courts... And tribunal services. Stating they found my payment to police on the suspense records ??? And a cheque for 80 will be sent within 28 days

 

I received another letter from the counts and tribunal services with a cheque attached to the bottom for 80 pound.

 

Anyone know what this Is. I'm kind of scared to put it in my bank ?

Do I have to pay them again. Nothing of that was mentioned in my letter

You need to contact the Police or the HMCTS about this - you need them to confirm that you did pay and that nothing is shown as outstanding. To me this sounds like the payment that you made was not allocated to anything - hence why it was in a suspense account. The last thing you want is a summons to a Magistrates Court for non-payment of the PND, so please get this sorted now!
