Hi All.
I was summoned for shoplifting at PRIMARK on the 17th august 2024. The items worth £90. I feel extremely bad about it, but the items I took are for replacement of items that discoloured, so I took the discoloured items to the till , I told them the story that with in a week the colours has changed , it should be white but now they became yellowish , so they refused to refund/replace the items,
I was really upset that I had to take the matter in my own hands , so I went to take replacement and I walked out side primark , to my amazement 3 security guards came to ask me to join them in the security room ,no police was involved, but they took my details from my drivers licence .I’m sure all know that the security were so threatening, abusive, shouting and In one time she was shouting on the way to the office, she said loudly “ I’m getting fed up from people shoplifting in the shop floor”, anyway, no police involved and i was told to wait for RLP, I didn’t know what that means but when the letter came through in an envelope with a second class stamp 10 days later , I knew what it means ,
im so stressed that I could not sleep for few nights, I have never been involved in such thing before , the letter is threatening and asking me to pay £175 which is more than the price of the price of the items I took ,so I believe it’s not fair ,
I want kindly to ask few things
1-shall I ignore the letter or pay the outstanding amount ?
2-if I choose to ignore the letter, will I be receiving letters to ask for the outstanding amount? Will it be threatening?
3-i know that some companies choose to send the matter to debt collection agency??should I pay the amount then ? Is it going to be higher than the asking monies £175???
4- if I choose to ignore the debt collection agency,would they tamper with my credit score ?????so would that affect me taking a loan or mortgage??
I know you might answered few threads before ,but this is killing me literally
NB: the £175 claimed is for the security’s time to go through the cctv, interview me , intercept me and interview me,
Thank You in advance
