Hello,

i got caught shoplifting from TXMAX, total came to around £45 in goods,

they took me to a back room and called the cops, cops checked me.

I didn't have any documents just cinema world card with my photo.

They took my details,

I signed banned paper and

after 3 days I had a letter from RLP, I was very scared ,

so I payed immediately.

I don't have anything from the police any penalty, it happened in March.

I will apply for next visa, do I need declare this situation?

Do I have are record on the police national computer (PNC)"?

Do I need to take a criminal record from police?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated, and please don't judge,

i have learned from my mistakes.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to CAG

From what you say, the police may have took no action and left you to the mercy (?) of the security staff.

If you were not arrested and cautioned then I don't feel the police will do anything now as they would have taken action before now.

At the moment, you have no convictions therefore nothing to declare.

Hi Nataly

Welcome to CAG

You shouldn't have paid RLP. What you received was a speculative invoice, it had no breakdown of costs, there were no costs to TK Maxx as any costs are covered in their business model, if there are any genuine costs, they should have gone through the courts where they would almost cetainly lost. How much did you pay them?

Thank you for answer SFox, Oh I hope its true, but really very scare about visa, I don't know, how and what they check , probably police have some records about me. I understand they didn't have any official document from me, but...

I paid 150 pounds(( , really I was very scare

You fell for their tricks. They have absolutely NO AUTHORITY and NO RELEVANCE in UK law. They are pretty much the same as a random person walking up to you on the street and saying "give me your money now".

Their letters are designed to threaten, they even use historical events such as the Magna Carta signed the year 1215, that is very scary indeed.

Scary if you still live in the 1300's maybe

Your asking for trouble:!:

It paid, but now I worry about criminal record , maybe I will have some record in Standard checks

This checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warning. What do you think do I need to get this checks

you will have NO CRIMINAL RECORD. end off anywhere.

shame you got spoofed into paying RLP

you got had there.

dx

tnx )))

How did you pay?

tnx )))

post office

O.K. just wondered.

post office

was this by your debit or credit card?

dx

no, i paid by post office, check

ok well ideally you should stop the cheque

but I suspect its too late now

and they've cashed it quick

before you realise you've been had.

these people have

NO LEGAL POWERS

and can do

NOTHING TO HARM YOU

or

your 'records'

if you have a read here

I bet you'll see theexact same copy of the letter you got

and what others were recommended to do.

they do not now ever do court as far as we know.

dx

O.K., shame.

no, i paid by post office, check

I don't care about RLP, I paid and I can't get money back, at this moment I worry about some records in the police

You have not been interviewed under caution. All you signed was the banning order so the police will have made a note of it but no conviction.

You haven't been charged. End of!

How many different ways do you want us to say the same thing?

RLP ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UK LEGAL SYSTEM. AT ALL. THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. THE POLICE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, THE COURTS HAVENT DONE ANYTHING. YOUR VISA WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.

You fell for the oldest trick in the book and gave them money for absolutely no reason whatsoever, purely because they sent you a few empty threats. If you cannot stop your cheque, then think of this as a bad experience, then forget about it and move on with your life.

If in embassy will do Standart checks, "This checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warning. " - Do I will have something in this case? As you told police will have made note , probably it will like " reprimands and final warning". Oh its looks like I have paranoia, but really thinking about this every day (((

Thank you very much:-D

there are no records anywhere

though its been rumoured

we've NEVER seen any hard evidence of any records.

and even then

it wouldn't harm a visa.

forget about it

don't mention it
