Shoplifting at M&S and given the wrong address

[MonkeyHonks1]

I was caught shoplifting at M&S and I gave all the information correct except my houses number
what if they send me a letter for civil recovery fee and and don’t receive the letter
what’s gonna happen

Probably nothing will happen, but you will just have to wait and see.

If they send a letter to your neighbour's address you have only yourself to blame.

You could speak to your neighbour, explaining that someone wrote your address down incorrectly, and would they please let you know if they receive anything addressed to you.

[MonkeyHonks1]

Yeah that helps but what if I don’t receive the letters and don’t pay, what are the consequences

[MonkeyHonks1]

And I don’t know the people whose address I have provided
nor that they know me
it’s quite a distant house

[atticus]

Walk round there. Knock on the door. Introduce yourself.

Or don't and take your chances as to what happens.

[MonkeyHonks1]

And once I receive that letter
should I pay the fine

[atticus]

This has been covered here hundreds of times. Basically, you can ignore any letters. Use the search function.

[MonkeyHonks1]

Is there anyone who has been taken to court

[MonkeyHonks1]

And pls advice just in case there is no way I can get to my neighbours and sought the letters
is it gonna be terrible

Unlikely

If your "neighbours" just bin the letters nothing will happen.
If they return the letters to the sender, the sender doesn't have your address so is unlikely to do anything.
Sure. they could employ a tracing agent, but that will cost them and so unlikely.

Cease worrying unless & until you receive some correspondence ..... or do as ATTICUS suggested
