I was recently caught removing the plastic wrapping on a bottle of aftershave in boots, with a friend who took the aftershave out of the store without paying, along with a second bottle which I did not touch. As soon as we left the store, 4 security guards grabbed us, we were taking into a back room, the police were called but they said because of our clean records they would let us off, yet after they had left the security staff made us fill out a civil recovery form, and told us we must write a letter of apology to the store. I sent the letter the next day to them. About a week later I received a first letter from RLP. Explaining the costs of the aftershave (28 GBPounds per bottle), and they expected us both to pay for both the bottles each, despite stating that the store had recovered the battles. About 2 weeks after that they sent a second letter arrived, they now said because of other costs I must pay them 137.50 GBPounds, or about 100 GBpounds if I could pay in the next 31 days. I did not make a payment, as I'm an A-level student without an income, not even EMA. After the 31 days, I received a letter saying I had 14 days to pay 137.50. After the 14 days had passed they are now saying my credit will be ruined, and I owe them 137.50 but it will increase by 5% annually. I havn't heard anymore , but it's been about 14 days now. I'm worried about data protection, I want the security recording and I want them to stop sending letters. Any ideas?
