I'll just ignore them then.

So,I've received my letter on the 26th of February. It's from Civil Recovery Solutions and they're claiming 180,then says something about settlement figure which says I only have to pay 145. I see this company is different from the usual RLP. It says "On behalf of Civil Recovery Solutions Limited". Is there any chance they'll take me to court? Any advice is most welcome. Thank you !

Thank you so much !

Thank You !

How extremly unlikely is that unlikely..ness Also,how is this going to affect me in the long run? Employment,credit,college?

But the security guy told me he's got me on CCTV and will send the footage to a Civil Recovery Company,which therefore will be used in a court in case I won't pay the fine. Thank you for your understanding. It's really a heart lifting.

Ok..here I go. On 22th of December I made the single most stupid thing in my life. I tried to steal about 70 pounds of stuff from a B&Q store. They were mostly bits and drills,small things.. Only I and God knows how I felt and still feel after that event..so I won't try to justify myself. Instead I'm asking for some advices. Long story short: got caught,taken in a room,police were called,given a fixed penalty notice of 100pounds (which I paid),details taken,banned and told to await a call from a Civil Recovery company withing a week or two. The security guy told me 100 times how important is to answer the call and pay the fine,otherwise I would be taken to court immediatly. I've been ever since awaiting for that call,to answer and pay for my shameful act so that I can sleep better. I have not received any calls or letter to this day,only a mysterious "private number" call which I missed this morning,a call that I'm inclined to believe it was from them. I stated to the manager and the security guy that I would pay five times that amount,only because I was so ashamed of myself and I wanted to do the right thing. I almost begged that they accept 350 pounds right there on the spot. I even intend to pay this civil recovery fine,but I'm not so sure Can you guys provide me with some advices/replies,please? What's the worst that can happen now? Will I get a criminal record or something like that? When I do receive a call or letter,what should I do?
