Problems with Primark

[francescakay]

the police didnt caution me just told me to pay £80 and then that be fine, but my mate was done for shoplifting as well this week and she said Primark says the £80 fine was to go to breast cancer, but i said i never got told that i just got told to pay it and banned from the stores

to be honest at this late in the saga, I would not be responding.

 

I would also suspect that there is a little local 'agreement' between the police and primark where you are.

 

save the hassle and the issues to the punter and police paperwork etc

 

if you don't give the £80 to charity you get an official fixed penalty notice

Which in my opinion needs a complaint however that could i suppose have consequences.

Thats interesting to have a little agreement going on

[fletch70]

Any little agreement like that would be corrupt and needs proof. Maybe your local paper or even one of te nationals would be prepared to take it up

[renegadeimp]

have to have proof first. i think its more a case of certain officers have an agreement with certain security guards there. Save both of them hassle with paperwork, and make themselves look like the good guys too.

So a budding investigatory journalist. This is the sort of thing the NOTW. would have loved.

[francescakay]

So i shouldnt contact them? Also will the dca come?

[fletch70]

If they do pass to a DCA I suspect they will contact you first in which case you can write to them and tell them to go and do one. If they turn up, just tell them to go away. Remember as DX often says, they have no power .

[Sidewinder]

The DCA will almost certainly not come to your home - that will cost extra. They are simply hoping that for the sake of a fiver or so the 'shame' of getting a debt collector letter will persuade you to pay.

I was wondering if you could help me out.

Hi guys can someone tell a bit about scotcall? As ive just had them texting me and then i phoned them and they wanted to know my address and i asked and the lady said secrutiy reasons does that mean someone will come where i live to collect payment?

 

Many thanks

[renegadeimp]

Scotcall are the lowest of the low. They only deal with alleged debts that no other DCA will touch. Ignore them and STOP PHONING THEM. Check the cag library for the telephone harassment letter and the doorstep collectors letter. Its rare they call, but they are known to try. IF they do, simply tell them to bog off in whatever way you like. Theres no need to be scared of them at all. They have absolutely ZERO rights.

[Sidewinder]

I doubt very much that RLP will be paying them enough to doorstep you

[ericsbrother]

What address did you give them? House of commons I hope.

[francescakay]

My address but im not living at home due to reason but they said pay at the end of the month.

[francescakay]

House address but i dobt live there at the moment

[ericsbrother]

Borrow a large dog and dont feed it.

[francescakay]

Hiya. Does this thibg get passed onto other debt collectors because this evening we had someone phone from robinson way and its debt collectors?

[Grotesque]

No. Tell 'em your wiv Tebbit.

[renegadeimp]

If theyve passed it to debt collectors, then you are almost at the end. Just ignore the idiots, or simply tell them there is no debt.

[Sidewinder]

Robbers Way feed at the very bottom of the gene pool alongside Snotcall

[Grotesque]

Hell yeah, it's very crowded down there isn't it

[silverfox1961]

When they ring up again (and they will) refuse to give out your personal details and say 'In writing only' They cannot continue with the call unless they confirm you are the person they want.

 

If they continue to ring you (and depending on the frequency) this could be classed as harassment

[francescakay]

No. Tell 'em your wiv Tebbit.

 

Whats tebbit?
