  1. sorry, yes the incident was at sainsburys. thanks was thinking about going to a solicitor so i might just give it a go. have no intention whatsoever of paying these cowboys anything but i dont want it to come back and bite me in the ass in the future, cheers for your replies, J
  2. hi thanks for your reply, the incident took place on the 26/11/08, i recieved a telephone call from sainsburys today enquiring whether or not i was going to pay the fee as i had requested having the ban dropped (we wer also banned from all sainsburys stores)i was informed that someone from another department would be in touch shortly to discuss the payment further, the charge of £150 is to cover security costs apparently!! the solicitors are Drydens Lawyers. Thanks J
  3. Hi, not sure if this post is in the right section... anyway, myself and my uncle were recently involved in an incident in a supermarket regarding alleged shoplifting. This was however a genuine mistake as my uncle put an item in the trolley and forgot all about it. (he is registered disabled after a motorcycle accident 20 years ago and has basically no memory). I had a trolley load of goods from another supermarket that were paid for and i had a receipt. We were stopped outside and asked to come back inside and we complied. Police were called and we voluntarily gave our statements, where we were informed it would be 6 months before we heard back but we would more than likely recieve a caution. I accepted this as i was under the impression this would be the end of the whole thing, until i recieved a letter a few days ago from the supermarkets solicitors which was a notice of intended civil recovery to the amount of £150. I have no intention of paying this although the letter states if i do not it will go to court and i could end up with ccj's, bailiffs or they can seek a deduction from my wages! I would like some information on this and what I can do about it, is it worthwile getting a solicitor? am i entitled to legal aid? is it worthwile bringing them up for defamation of character? Should I contact local press and/or MP? Anything would be much appreciated as I am at my wits end!!!!! Thanks.
