    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • 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

    • 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.

We've reached the final part of the process with A & L. We are claiming £3000 since January 07, they initially offered us £900 then with the help of a "nudge" letter last week where we offered to settle for £2600 they offered us £1800 in full and final settlement, as well as us having to agree to their T & Cs for all future charges. We obviously refused this and have now sent them the court bundle claiming the full amount (charges, interest and all expenses).

 

The court date is 14th August at Oxford C C - is anyone else going to be there on that day? The court tells me all the bank claims are going to be dealt with on that day.

 

Nat West have been easier to deal with. We had to go down the court proceedings route but once we got it allocated we sent a "nudge" letter to Cobbetts and they agreed to settle the full amount (£1655). :)

I live in oxfordshire - but I have been allocated to Aylesbury court and dont even have a date yet.

 

Is yours a directions or full hearing - how much time has been allocated?

 

the last couple of claims settled here have been very close to the hearing dates - like the day before!

 

I thin we all had a few wobbles at one stage but most of us have agreed to make one nudge offer at something acceptable to us - not them - and then if they dont accept (unlikely) then we are ploughing on.

 

Best thing is to keep reading our threads you will see a pattern emerging:cool:

Will be watching this thread with interest - just had my A&L court date through for 13th August, need to get my bundle together now and pay the fee - how do you do that by the way? just take it in to the court before the deadline?

Will let you know how I go and if they settle beforehand. I've not sent a nudge letter to them yet, do you think it's worthwhile at this stage?

Do you have a copy of the one you sent?

Many thanks

Yep, take the fee into the court if you can and ask for a receipt (I sent a copy of this to Wragge with a nudge letter).

 

You'll find nudge letters in here :-

:-o:confused: Hi. Im new to this site and I noticed you was on line, so I thought I take a chance and ask you for some advice, Im sorry if i am doing this all wrong. If you know of another member who would be able to help me i would be really grateful! I was sent a "General Form of Judgment or Order" from my local court. They have asked that I follow these 4 directions by this friday at 4pm, but to be honest I dont totally understand what they are asking for! Below is the 4 directions I need to take..

 

1. the claimant shall file and serve a statement setting out particulars of the breach of contract and any explanation (if such breach is alleged). The statement shall exhibit a copy of the relevant bank terms.

 

2. The claimant shall file and serve a schedule showing how the amount claimed has been calculated by reference to the undividual item by description, amount and date.

 

3. In the event that the claimant is seeking to claim for charges that have accured more than six years prior to the issue of the claim, to identify such sums and to file and serve brief reasons why such charges are being saught.

 

4. In the event that the claimant is seeking to claim reimbursement in respect of interest charged on any overdrawn amount, the claiment is to identify such sums and set out in brief the reasons why such charges are being sought.

 

And thats it!! But call me thick... I just cant get my head round it all. If you could help thicko me I would be soooo grateful. Im in panic mode at the min and am thinking of giving up!! Please someone explain this jargen to me before A&L have the last laugh!!!
