      B&Q I’m now a shoplifter?

      By Whyisitthis · Posted

      Hopefully I’m able to help someone else out with a future post however this particular subject I’m completely at a loss and ever so anxious regarding! I’ll get the letter out when my police officer husband is asleep to see what the company is whom will be writing to me. I know parking companies now seek compensation so I’m expecting these too as they have advised.

      Hello, welcome to CAG. I've moved your thread to our Retail Loss Prevention subforum for further advice. It sounds as if you may get letters from people like DWF solicitors or a company called Retail Loss Prevention but we always recommend to ignore them. If the police weren't called on the day you aren't going to hear from them. Ask us any questions you want to and keep in touch but I don't think this will go anywhere. Best, HB

      Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hearing is at the end of this month, they need the reply at least 3 days before the hearing.

 

Do you have any advice on writing another term for out of court settlement?

Who do I send this letter to?

 

If I do get a conviction, what happens after 12 months?

Does it affect my job applications?

I plan to apply for British citizenship,

Will this affect that too?

Thank you for the advice. I’ll write to them again and see.

You can also try ringing the person at TfL who wrote to you and negotiate that way, if you have a phone number.

 

HB

 

Thank you HB,

I don’t think there was a specific phone number, but I will try to write to them first and see.

“Spent” is where the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders legislation applies.

citizenship application follow the eDBS route, exempts from the RoA provisions.

better to disclose than to appear to be concealing a criminal conviction.

.......

 

I plan to apply for British citizenship, Will this affect that too?

 

If found guilty, likely to be refused under that "good character' aspect, for a period of 3 years.

Offence is 'spent' for Rehab of Offenders (RoO) purposes at a year (if you get a fine from the court), but will always need to be disclosed for 'exempt' jobs, UK citizenship application, or visa applications where that country isn't bound by the RoO (e.g. to the USA)

 

The citizenship / 3 years isn't an absolute. They can balance the details of the offence (the seriousness of it and the background around it) against the person's other character aspects. So for someone who has done masses of good work within the commnitiy, and who made a 'silly slip'for a trivial offence, they might ignore the offence. If you wanted to try that route, you'd have to provide all the details, and for using a fraudulent pass to fare dodge, expect the 3 years period to be applied.

 

Whatever you do, don't try to conceal it.

Where the applicant fails to disclose information that would result in the application being refused on good character grounds, the application must be refused and any further application for citizenship will normally be refused for the next 10 years.

 

This applies unless it is accepted that the failure to disclose was unintentional and a genuine error.

Does anyone know to whom I should address and send this letter to? In the summoning I received, there’s the court address to which I’m meant to send a reply whether I plead guilty or not, and at the beginning there’s also “charge authorised by: and a name and address for a solicitor”.

 

Which one of them should I write to?

Hi,

 

I got caught today with a fake 16+ card. I live alone, have barely enough to eat because of all of the bills. I saw a post on Instagram and applied for the card just like MJ12. I am extremely scared. Could you guys please help me to write my letter to them.

 

I am 18 and I am crazy about my career. It was an extremely stupid mistake I made and will never do anything like this again.

 

Thank you
