Hello Jactac

 

I have not yet received any letter from RLP but it may still be early days. Don't beat yourself up about it as we all have these moments of temptation because we are all struggling. It does make you feel horrible about yourself though. Kind of like when someone has burgled you, you feel a bit dirty, only you have done it to yourself! (speaking for myself).

 

I guess the stores can do whatever they like when it comes to dealing with these situations. We are in the wrong in their eyes, even though no police were called so we have not technically committed a crime, they are judge and jury when it comes to civil cases and they have you by the short and curlies.

 

I think it is probably up to the store manager as to how far he/she will take the matter. In my case, I stayed calm, but did not admit liablity, and as I have depression, must have looked a sorry sight anyway so maybe the manager decided not to inform RLP. Still early days. Someone must have been informed though due to me receiving that weird debt write-off call shortly after, and if so, someone found my mobile number (I did not give them the number). I can't prove the 2 are connected, but seems a weird coincidence.

 

I will probably fight it if I get the letter, and if I go on their Dastardly Database, whether or not I have paid or admitted liability, well, so be it. I will worry about it later.

 

Anyway, the world keeps turning, life goes on, and we learn our lesson and move on! (having a calm day, tomorrow I might not be so laid back!) Will keep waiting for "The Letter".

 

Take care and Happy New Year!

Hi Lady,

I really wouldnt think that your phone call was anything to do with your other issue, this is probably your mind working overtime. i would just wait calmy and see what happens, thats what i gonna do, we can't do any more anyway.

just relax, and have a great new year.

stay out of trouble though eh ! lol.

if you consider yourself innocent then i would always advise that you INSIST that the police are called and make sure you repeat the request often

 

another piece of advise is to ring someone on your mobile and ask them to listen to what is going on

 

better still get the CAG mobile recording app on your phone or carry a small recorder in your bag.

 

if the store staff object to you recording the conversation then your silence cannot be used against you

Hi thanks for that! There is a bit on as I type on BBC1 on Inside Out about people being accused of shoplifting. Oh and, still no notice from RLP!! It's been 2 months now.

Hi all - nope, still nothing from RLP. Three months now. I'm guessing that the "evidence" from cctv was not conclusive. That, and all the bad press about RLP.
