When will the RLP letters end?

[Sidewinder]

There is no strict limit to the number of letters that RLP will send - reading the other threads on here will give you an idea of what to expect. They will though become increasingly desperate in nature and will make many threats about taking Court action, adding costs to the amount owing as a result and then it will be passed to whichever debt collector is for hire this month to write a further two or three letters. The last of these will recommend that their client (RLP) prepares the case for court action. Don't get involved in any response to the letters though - or your mum if she happens to open any of them, and the matter will finally be passed back to Boots to instigate a court claim. Only Boots can issue a claim however and they most certainly won't do that - in fact they will have forgotten the matter altogether as soon as you left the store at the time of the incident.

 

That isn't a green light to shoplift in future though, as you may find that the Police get involved next time and things will get a whole lot more uncomfortable. Just learn from this event and move on

No

 

Doing this will only start them off with a game of letter tennis. They tegularly read these boards anyway and match up cases and then write to tell you not to listen to our bad advice. Why encourage them further?

 

Simple thing to remember - how many people on the threads that have gone before have returned to say that they received a court claim? Not one unless you go far enough back to see a thread started by a member of RLP staff who was planting seeds of fear and pretending to be a victim of RLP who was being taken to court. Laughable and speaks volumes for the type of organisation you are dealing with!
