Asda-drydens Solicitors-notice Of Intended Civil Recovery

[rebellfoxx]

HI I HAVEN'T POSTED THREADS BEFORE SO BEAR WITH ME, A MONTH OR SO AGO I WAS, RIGHTFULLY, ARRESTED AND CAUTIONED FOR SHOPLIFTING IN ASDA-A BAG OF FROZEN MUSSELLS (????) , A £3.99 BOOK AND SOME HAM...-

I BOUGHT THE REST OF MY SHOPPING COMING TO £20+

I WAS ISSUED PENALTY FINE WHICH IM PAYING IN INSTALLMENTS, AS IM ON BENEFITS FOR SOCIAL PHOBIA,ANXIETY ETC

I WAS PRETTY SCARED BUT POLICE WERE FINE WITH ME AND I LEARNED MY LESSON, ANY HOW I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DRYDEN'S SOLICITORS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ASDA AND WANT £150 FOR SECURITY COSTS. IF I DO NOT PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS,WHICH HAS PASSED,IT WILL GO UP BETWEEN £80-£150 FOR COURT COSTS. IM TOO SCARED TO RING THEM AS I'VE READ ON HERE THEY'RE "AGGRESSIVE BULLIES" .

I ADMITTED THE OFFENCE.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

IM WORRYING LOADS OVER IT AS THE THREAT OF BAILLIFFS ATTENDING AND CCJ ETC IS KINDA BAD, ESPECIALLY AS I LIVE WITH MY MUM!!

I WAS ALSO BANNED FROM ASDA

THANK-YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ AND PLEASE, ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

bump haha it looks like am gonna have to !!!

sound advice !!! :D:D

[eyeinthesky]

Not sure if you understood, but the bump is to bring your thread back to the top, so it doesn't get missed.

Most of the cases posted here involve RLP, but Drydens are operating the same scheme, i.e., civil recovery. Just ignore them, it is unlikely that they will proceed to court. You are paying the police PND, I guess this is punishment enough, and you would be very silly to try to steal from shops again, as you have seen, it costs more than the stuff you stole.

[rebellfoxx]

ohhh how do i bump

[kiptower]

just put BUMP as the text

I suppose you have to decide whether you can withstand the letters constantly arriving, and how this makes you feel. I understand Drydens are very persistant.

Please keep us up to dat eon the progress of this.

 

If they sue you, they will have to establish their actual losses and will only be bale to recoup those

This is just a personal observation on this and not a case of this always happening. I was involved with a case of an employee who was caught stealing cash and phone top ups. During the civil recovery process the store management guesstimated the amount of costs at £300. The representative of the lad caught refused to pay and asked for a full breakdown. The profit protection manager came in and interviewed a few people about their involvement with the case. It turned out that in the new submission of costs came to over £2800, and this was a legitimate charge. Personally, I would have kept quiet and paid the money first time.

Hi Bill,

I was once involved in a similar case having calculated the actual costs it was a staggering, £280,000,000, I had to go to hospital shortly after.

PS your not the bill who used to be in the bed opposite where I was treated for an overdose of Bovine Excreta.

Rebellfoxx, Sorry about the hijack of your thread, on a serious note dont worry these company's make plenty of money from people they frighten into paying, they even Troll forums like ours leaving, at best misinformation at worst lies to confuse the OP.

[Billybumpkins]

You guys just dont get it do you. It isnt RLP, Drydens and the like that calculate the costs, it is the retailer. Like all solicitors, which is what they are, they are instructed.

 

Now oldandrew. Stop hijacking threads and try to be constructive rather than being petty and calling people names.

[shanty]

Billybumpkins,are we really supposed to believe you are a genuine poster,or a creation of someone else on cag?

[Billybumpkins]

Oh, I am genuine. There is only one of me.

What names are being called, the OP needs to know what happens with these companies, and about Trolls, on this and other forums.

A Troll is typically on-line for a time then disappears in to the ether.

Genuine or not....one of you is still one too many.

It isn't the retailers who 'calculate' the cost it's RLP. Apart from the retail value their charges are fixed at time of contract. How do I know................ guess;)

So the recovery companies guess how many hours people spend on investigation??

 

The recovery companies know what covert equiptment was used in an investigation.

 

The recovery companies know who worked on an investigation?

 

 

How do you know?

 

The same as all the rest of the thief supporting liberal whingers, oh I stole from a shop and look how much they are charging me. You know only what you want to know.

[JonCris]

Thieves should be horse whipped

 

As for what amounts to a thieves well I would prefer them to be convicted in a court of law before claiming they ARE actually a thief & not rely on some jumped up little jobs-worth OR retailer who see a few bob in it for themselves especially when an item costs £3.99p & they demand £137! from each of the 2 elderly shoppers

 

Like I said apart from the cost of the item their charges are fixed

You should be banned from this forum for calling it's members "thief supporting liberal whingers".

 

That is an absolute insult to all who has posted on this board.

[JonCris]

Don't worry Button, the poster in question is probably one of those who thinks anyone accused of a crime is guilty even before they've been tried in court. I find they don't believe in civil liberties............. except their own

[JonCris]

PS Button despite your success pleased to see you're still here offering advice

[Sugar Plum Fairy]

Billybumpkins - Please spare a thought (whether you are a parent or not) of the innocent and vulnerable children and adults on this forum that haven't committed a crime, haven't stolen, haven't incurred a loss to a company but have been subjected to all the goings on relating to untrained security staff, loss prevention staff that haven't a clue, RLP plus their numerous debt collection agencies and threats that come with it.

 

I'm with you Button!

 

Joncris - Count me in on your meeting
