Hi All I think sufficient time has elapsed for me to conclude what happened to me in respect of the TLP saga! I phoned RLP and spoke to a lady who said I would have to pay up, I asked about their credit license and was told that was a different department so I replied 'Well pass the phone over then because the other department is on the other side of your desk' She replied it wasn't so I replied 'it doesn't matter all I want is your consumer credit number' She left Me on the line for a minute or two and came back and said the 'other department' would be in touch' Well I haven't heard another word to this Day! Thanks firstly for this website and secondly to all the members who provided invaluable advice!

To be honest I think RLP cocked up when they sent the demand for £110 as my sons friends parents paid that rather than pay the £260.00 the other boys parents paid the full £260.00 (there was my Son and His 2 friends caught shoplifting) I tried contacting Trading Standards in Nottingham Today but you get put through to your local branch, I explained about RLP not having a consumer credit licence the Chap told Me to contact the Citizen advice bureau and gave Me a reference number. I would like to post up the copies of the letters my Son received from RLP but not being computer literate I am having a little difficulty! Incidentally I checked again and RLP's application for a C.C licence is still pending.

Sorry about the delay in replying My Son had given some of the documentation to His Friends Mother to see if it matched Her paperwork. Any way my Son and His 2 Friends were caught shoplifting in Debenhams, they were given an £80 Fixed Penalty notice however shortly after they received a demand from R.L.P for £297.50 reduced to £260 if they paid up promptly EACH!! Now I don't condone their actions and my son was further punished by my Wife and I, However how RLP justify a fee for £780 is beyond Me and is an extortionate amount in my opinion! After We received the 1st demand we received another one for £110 We phoned RLP to pay this amount but were told that the figure didn't match theirs and they would have to call us back, We are still waiting for that call (Unfortunately My Sons friends Mother has lost our letter demanding the £110) anyway after we received that demand I discovered this site and would value any advice that you can give please? As I replied above I have contacted the Consumer credit authorities and they confirm that at present RLP do not hold a consumer credit licence although their application is pending,I will try to upload the 2 letters I hve from RLP.

Hi My Son and His two friends have bocome how shall I say this..........Familiar with RLP! I will post up more dtails when I have them to hand however, I phoned RLP Yesterday and the female employed by RLP would not disclose information regarding my Son without His express written permission, I did ask Her if RLP had a Consumer credit licence to which She replied Yes I then asked Her for the registration number and after a delay gave Me this number 0628437, Today I phoned the consumer credit licence office (Tel number 0207 211 8608 and they informed Me that RLP did NOT have a consumer credit licence I then said that I had been in touch with RLP and that they had given me the consumer credit licence number 0628437 and She informed me that this application together with the registration number were pending, I then asked the young Lady if RLP should be trading without a licence and She gave Me an emphatic NO as an answer!! I am grateful to this forum for the information on RLP so far and I will post up more information on my Sons case very shortly.
