Thats fair enough. I was just getting conflicted by the info as some on here suggest there is no legal ground for these claims and but others say there is. If there is a legal ground for it (which is the direction i'm leaning) then i'll take it more seriously and ensure if I contact anyone it's done properly. End of the day, it may not be a stressful court scenario, but it's still a position I put myself in and don't want to have to go through the scenario again, just put it behind me.

I was saying better off as I was in the wrong and then i wouldnt have to worry wether or not they would take me to court. I know you said they won't, but that sounds more like you don't expect them too, rather than they have no case. So i'm buggered if im the unlucky one that goes to court!

I get what you guys are saying about not being linked to criminal court, but I don't want to go to ANY court, when reading these forums, i get the impression that what they are claiming for etc is rubbish and has no legal grounds, however with some now going to court, surely this means it's not all rubbish and that i may be better off paying now and saving myself the stress?

but the police weren't involved and i'd like to keep it that way. Surely the police and criminal court only cover the police costs and direct criminal damage? therefore why would they have anything to do with the costs this store are seeking? Im a novice at this and get all my info online so maybe im wrong.

Yeah, it's a bit concerning. What I make of the CAB one is that the reason it's come back to them was because the company were trying to negotiate settlement before court proceedings and this was what was being ignored. So then obviously when court proceedings were issued they wouldn't go back to the original settlement offer. So I don't think they ignored the court letters. Basically the thing that worries me is, yes, there is no harm in ignoring the letters from the comapny, but what if I actually get hit with a court letter and it's too late to settle. Based on reading in these forums it prob won't be as much as a 'fine' monetary wise, but I don't want to go to court etc, because I prob won't win as I did f**k up (excuse my french!) so will just be time consuming I'm confused now.

Hi Guys, Similar thing has happened to me and I've recently stumbled across some supposed successful cases on the RLP website (not aloud to post links) , guess you'll all just have to google it! Are these real?! surely they can't post fake cases? Or does this mean these things are actually legit and now going to court? Where else might these be posted (in a more legit setting!) cheers Neil
