got caught and

I tried to say I accidently forgot about the bag on the pushchair

but my sister robbed aswell right under a camera and

we got caught and

said we may get a fine but only as little as £20 and

the letter come through asking for £178.30 I think or close to that and

I ignored that one and

they sent another to my parent and

people are saying ignore them and

some saying contact them sayin ur not paying,

I don't know what to do,

Hi and welcome to CAG.

Firstly, can I ask how old you are?

Moved to the Retail Loss Prevention Forum, have a good read of some of the other threads.

Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

Firstly, can I ask how old you are?

I'm 16, 17 this year

I'm 16, 17 this year

Thanks for that.

Following a recent issue regarding RLP contacting parents, I feel that when you get the first RLP letter, you write back with the following:

" Any amount claimed by you is denied in its entirety"

And

" Take note that I formally refuse permission for you to communicate with any other person without my express permission."

This should stop them in their tracks.

Seems like the day of ignoring RLP may be gone.

I do feel that you should 'Fess Up' to your parents just in case.

Highly unlikely Primark will take court action but RLP will write to say that they will wait until you are 18 before recommending legal action. This is a bluff. RLP do not take action.

nor can they taek legal action off their own back. However, they are rather good at telling lies in an attempt to get money out of people.

Oh Ok then thanks people so I'll message them then see if it it stops, dont want them coming for the money or something like that because the primark man said he don't want to get social services involved cuz I have a kid so don't want them too

If you want to message them, please use one of our letters to them. Don't send one of your own or they will think you are gullible. Jackie, the woman who runs the company cannot be trusted.

Ignore the silly muppet at primark. The police or social services will NEVER be involved now.

Alright then thanks so much, I will do so, that's helped me a lot
