tk maxx: rlp threatening court if I don't pay costs

[jumper]

can anyone advise on rlp claiming costs and threatening to take me to civil court if i don't pay £250 . they say i need to have a legal basis for them to correspond further. I can't get any advise, spoke to cab, oft, ts. all very interested in my unfair treatment by tk maxx but are unable to give legal advise. i can't afford a solicitor and it wouldn't be worth it as their costs would be more than £250 they told me. i don't want to pay rlp as this is admitting i have done something wrong but i'm scarred if i go to court they are powerful to prove otherwise. they are bullies and have said i have no likelihood of sucsess. i was accused of fraud and had police involvement but with NFA now established. i feel i should be the one accusing tk maxx for costs etc for what i have been through, but have never been in this situation before and have no idea how these awful people work.

Perhaps a little more detail is needed here? You say you were treated unfairly, perhaps you can explain how? Just because the police have decided to not take any further action, doesn't make you innocent.

Presumed innocent until proven guilty

 

RLP pursuing someone does not mean that they are guilty or that they should pay them anything.

 

RLP will take paying as entitlement to store their details on their database ...

 

There are lots of threads here that say RLP will not take you to court because they don't want their methods examined (and potentially stopped).

 

If you post more information you will get advice rather than judgement (possibly as well as judgement - it depends on who posts or if anyone from RLP registers)

I frequently speak to "innocent" people. They tell how me I'm wrong, how I've made a mistake and how this will probably cost me my job... Sometimes they cry, or they shout and protest their good character from an imagined moral high ground. Once they've done this I calmly relay the facts to a nice police chappy, provide him with a statement and some CCTV and walk him to his car.

Occasionally I have to put on my favourite suit and jump on the train to a court. The judge or judges always thank me for coming. They're quite nice folks generally. They also apologise that I've had to come all this way, just so the "innocent" person can see me walk through the door.

Forgive me for being cynical, but i've had my fair share of guilty people walk away on a technicality, I'll believe there's a real victim here when I've got a few more facts.

Are you therefore claiming you have never made an error of judgement or ever got it wrong??

 

Whatever your secret is, you should bottle it and sell it coz you'd make a fortune!!

Getting it wrong when it comes to this kind of thing equates to A p45 and the end of your career. I make damn sure I get it right every single time. I save all my mistakes for my love life...

Most companies work on the principal that if you fail to follow correct procedure (which is generally pretty bullet proof) then you face the consequences. Do not past go etc.

Lipi, just how many more facts would you like to be presented with before you will believe there are real victims on this site???

 

Walk a day in my shoes and you mightn't be so quick to make your haphazardous assumptions!!

 

I generally try and see it from everyones point of view but I find your comments insulting.........and that says alot coming from someone who took pity on bleating Adrian Mole from RLP.............

[labrat]

lpi004 i would like to point out that the RLP site has only changed to say they will take medical conditions into fact after intervention from this site

[Lpi004]

I'm not disputing there are real victims on these forums, however from the little information given by the OP I am quite happy to say that this probably isn't one of them. Unfortunatly it would be unethical for me to go into too much more detail.

I took my details off this forum as my dispute with RLP is ongoing - I will post all the facts on this site eventually.

 

Are you not prepared to go into too much detail because of your employment? From your knowledge and experience, is there anything constructive you could add to help people on this site?

[Lpi004]

Unfortunatly I dare say there's a great deal of information I could help people with, most of it though would be of equal interest to the dishonest people who no doubt also read these forums...

[kiptower]

so its OK for RLP to act in a dishonest and unlawfull manner as they often do, still their database they have got may not be there for long when the MOJ finish with them

I'm really sorry, but speaking as an ex Police Officer I can honestly say the majority of 'private' security personnel I met did not know the law and were not shall we say, 'intelligent' of human beings.

 

I beleive this is an area we need a lot more regulation in.

 

How much training does a private secuiry person get? Maybe two or three days? Compared to the best part of a year a Police Constable is put though.

 

I'm sorry, but this is just my personnel opinion and I feel very strongly about it. People deserve to be treated fairly, not patronised by a 'rent-a-cop' who has not been trainned correctly (and this comment is not made in reference to any posters on this thread)
