    • Nothing will happen in regard to this one shoplifting event, other than Sainsburys won't let you shop in this store again.   But, if you continued to shoplift, then the consequences are more serious. Local to me, there  is a town where about 13 people have been banned from shopping in many of the shops. They are subject to some form of order, where if they set foot in any of the stores, they will be subject to arrest by Police.  
    • Agree with DX, Sadly, from the pics, it looks like you're bang to rights😪 The rules are very explicit. Before entering the box, you must ensure that you are able to completely exit. It looks like the car in front may have moved a couple of feet and tempted you to set off, but when you did that, there still wasn't enough room to completely exit the box. By all means ask to see the video evidence, but saying you had to stop because the vehicle in front stopped, isn't a valid defence.
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Can somebody help me please.

 

I have come home to find a letter from JB Debt Recovery stating that i owe £3xxx from Hillesden Securities (Formerly Egg).

 

I am quite miffed at this, as 2 months ago i sent a Statue Barred letter to Ruthbridge who were chasing the debt, and i had no word from them since, until today i get this letter.

 

The last payment on this debt was in 2002 .. 100% Fact. Ruthbridge knew this, and have passed this on.

 

So i am mad this morning and i ring JB Debt Recovery to ask what the hell is going on. The guy says you own this money, end of story. I say when was the last payment made to this debt, or written letter by myself ?? 2002 sir. So i say well then this debt is staue barred, and they have no legal right to send throtograms through the mail saying they will make me bankrupt ect, ect.

 

"You are speaking to a legal advisor sir, This devt is not Staute Barred" We (JB Debt Recovery) have bought this debt and therfore it is no longer statue barred and payment is needed in full today".

 

Please advise me, Once statue barrerd, it can never become un barred, and if a company buys a debt, the clock does not reset again.

 

He says i need to seek some legal representative as i will be humiliated in court if i say it is statue barerd.

 

So again to clear this up, last payment to this debt was in Febuary 2002, and no payment or letter in writing by myself since then.

 

Hope somebody can give me some advice on this matter please.

Utter tosh but stop talking to them on the phone ;-)

 

Send off the stat barred letter, if you have not acknowledged (in writing) or made a payment on that account in a clear 6 year window it is stat barred and will NEVER become un-barred.

 

If you keep things in writing they cant make stupid comments like the above one. ("You are speaking to a legal advisor sir, This devt is not Staute Barred" We (JB Debt Recovery) have bought this debt and therfore it is no longer statue barred and payment is needed in full today".)

 

You could try complaining to the OFT about this company also but without it being recorded its you vs them.

Right from Gordon Browns own lips (mind he's the worlds biggest liar):

 

IHTM28384 - Law relating to debts: statute-barred debts

 

If a lender allows time to pass without receiving any payment an action for recovery may become barred.

 

 

 

 

 

Under the Limitations Act 1980 the time limits are

  • in simple contracts, 6 years
  • in contracts under seal, 12 years.

If the debtor acknowledges the debt in writing or makes a part payment within the original limitation period, then the time limits start to run again from the date of acknowledgement or the date of payment.

 

Unless it is already subject to a CCJ, or you live in Scotland.

In fact, thats made me angry.. complain anyway to the OFT and ask for JB debt recovery's complaint procedure in the same letter as the stat barred one.S.

 

Made you angry!:-x

 

Another DCA added to my list of baiting :)

 

I know that it is easy to say in hindsight, not to ring these clowns, but you have to give it to the new CAGgers, all they have done is what the idiots have told them too, if they don't, then by midnight the DCA's will 100% have stolen their doorsteps and incarcerated them!

 

Completely unlawful, and further evidence of these Muppet's illegal extortion racket, as there is no organisation with any backbone prepared to reign them in, once again it is left to CAG, and in the hope that all of these complaints might somehow have an effect on this corrupt racket!8)

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

What's worrying is that JackFrost1989 knew it was statute barred but the DCA was still able to put doubts in his mind. Just how many people do they do this to every day and get away with it; it makes me shudder to think. And the authorities know they do it and turn a blind eye. It really is corruption at the highest level methinks...

sam624, really sorry to hear that. That's why it's important to post letters once - in the template bit i guess - and i guess try and avoid pm's if at all possible. i have seen sign offs saying "Do not PM me I will not respond" but when you want to help that must seem harsh!

It's an old trick. In interrogation, tellng the subject that someone else has already implicated him, or hinting that the interrogator knows more than he really does know can be most effective when used carefully, using snippets of genuine information rather than lying. However, many subjects will ultimately tell the interrogator something (usually what he thinks the interrogator wants to hear), because they think it will end the interrogation.

 

In the same way, DCAs, playing on most people's lack of knowledge of the law and their rights, seek to make people uncertain of their position by using lies and threats from the outset, and many will pay them just to make them go away.

 

Whilst all of this is a good reason, if one were needed, for not speaking to DCAs on the phone, there were several opportunities in the conversation to turn the tables so that the drone would end the conversation.

For some reason the press and authorities dont seem to publicise the 6yr rule anywhere. Its left for people to find CAG or similar sites 4 advice.
