  1. Sorry for being a pain but this is what I get:

    - In your Thread/Post open a new msg box here.

    - Click 'Go Advanced' below the msg box.

    - Click 'Manage Attachments' below that box.

    - Click the 'Add Files' button on the top right.

    - Click 'Select Files', navigate to your file(s) on your PC.

    - Click 'Upload Files'.

    For some reason I am unable to see the 'Go Advanced' .

  2. An update. Received third letter from DWF. It's a very scary letter. It says 'Should payment not be made during the course of the next 7 days we will consider commencing Court Proceedings to recover the sum outstanding'. Also says 'If you do not pay

    - The sum outstanding may increase due to Court costs, fees and interest

    - A County Court Judgement may be entered against you

    - Your Credit rating may be affected for up to 6 years

    - A Bailiff may attend your house to remove goods to the value owed

    - We may seek a Court order deducting monies from your earnings with your employer

    We await your payment or response during he course of the next 7 days'

     

    Please advise what I should do?

  3. Today I have received a letter from DWFasking me to Pay £125 as Security costs within 7 days. The break up given is:

    Value of goods stolen £0.00

    Value of good damaged £0.00

    Value of cash stolen £0.00

    Security costs £125.00

    Amount due now £125.00

    There is also a sheet with frequently asked questions attached.

    The DWF are solicitors. Any advice?

  4. I really have no idea about police procedures.

     

     

    However,

    I was most definitely not arrested or taken to the Police station.

    I have also not signed any paper so far.

     

     

    The policeman said if you do this again, you'll will be a very serious trouble.

    Then asked me to make the donation and I offered to get the money from the ATM but he said I need not do that especially for it but give it when I go to get fuel the next time.

    He said he may call but hasn't so far.

    So, I don't really know what happened.

     

    The question about conviction and arrest asked on ESTA is fine but the more I get into details I am getting more and more confused.

     

     

    Read something about 'moral turpitude'.

    Don't understand if one declares only if arrested or convicted or also if one has committed such an act whether or not one has been arrested or convicted.

     

    Do you suppose I will have a criminal record?

    If I avoid ESTA and seek a visa, my husband is bound to ask why I was doing it.

    What a mess have I got myself in.

     

    I am feeling so scared and down that I might have ruined my life completely.

  5. Thank you so much Sidewinder. The responses I have got from everyone here give some me hope.

    My worry about ESTA for US visa waiver emanates from the fact that I don't really know what happened that day, whether I was given a caution or community resolutio. I was definitely not arrested and I haven't signed any paper for Tesco or the police yet. Though the policeman had said there might be some paperwork. When I requested him not to come to my house, he took my mobile number and said he may contact me.

     

    With the ESTA, unless I know what actually happened, whether It was a formal procedure or whether I have a criminal record, I won't know what to declare. If I declared I have no criminal record and I do, then that would not be true. Again if I don't have a criminal record and I declare, I will be declined the wish waiver and all in vain. The ambiguity is really worrying me though obviously I will be very grateful if what happened wasn't formal or ended in me having a criminal record.

  6. Thank you so much. I understand now, it was not like a condition.

    However I will donateicon this money to a charity to make me feel better.

    Will update if I hear from DWF.

    Thank you once again for being so patient and addressing my concerns. I did not expect to get this level of support especially considering that what I have done is vile

  7. cant hurt visa at all

    forget about it now

    nothing more can or will happen

    bar stupid letters that you ignore from DWF.

     

     

    go get on with getting better and enjoy your life

     

    Thanks. Problem is I don't know what happened with the police. Was it a 'caution' or 'community resolution' (new names for me , I have been reading on the internet. I also read that on ESTA for Us visa, you have to declare any criminal record. Then it's a doand be damned and don't and still be damned. Do you think what has happened has got me a record.

  8. the police are arent to turn up unannouced at your house, they are far too busy.

     

     

    In their books this matter is a solved crime,

    a tick in a box and no further action if it ever reached the threshold to need a box ticking.

    In truth they are unlikely to take the matter further .

     

    As for antidepressants and the like,

    they work for about half the population and not the other half.

     

     

    Speak to your doctor about other therapies,

    there will be a long waiting list

    but probably better than no human intervention and some pills.

     

     

    Keep away from Tesco's and tell yourself you are better than this and take long walks and talk to yourself (not out loud of sourse) about the good and bad bits of what is going on.

     

     

    Half an hour a day walking not only helps clear the mind it is brilliant for the body as well.

    Go at a pace that is quick enough to make you feel like you are having to work at it but not so quick you get worn out by it.

     

    Thank you. I will try to get out and go for walks. Right now, it is impossible to get out, I feel so down and dirty.

  9. I have been to see my GP today. He has increased the dosage of my anti-depressants and changed changed my sleek medication, Told him about the incident (dies a thousand deaths) and still feeling very anxious.

    Haven't got a call from the policeman yet.

    The GP said I might like to go on a holiday or get some change of place so. I told him I might plan to go visit my family in the US. However, now I am back home and thinking about it. Will it cause problem while applying for the US visa waiver programme? This is now a new scare for me and is driving me mad with worry. What do you advise?
