  • Hello to all - oh no not RLP again!

    I came across this fascinating site while researching RLP.... I hope you haven't already stooped reading!
    I have read all the info on this site about RLP and their dubious doings, and I’m sorry to return to this tedious topic

    My friend’s daughter was caught shoplifting in Boots a few weeks ago. The goods were handed back to the store undamaged and the police were called. The police gave her an informal warning (not a caution) as she is only 16 and has a previously unblemished record.

    She has now received the usual bumf from RLP, (demanding £203.52) and before I was asked for advice her mother had written to them to say she is 16, has absolutely no income beyond the small sum her mum gives her to get to college and buy a sandwich, but RLP have written back demanding payment at £20 pm plus charges of 1.50 per instalment.

    Clearly because of her age I guess they cannot make such a legally binding arrangement.

    My suggestion to her Mum will be to have no further contact with RLP and to ignore anything else that arrives from them. Is that the correct approach – or is there a ‘killer’ letter she might send?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        I would suggest tell your friend to include todays court case in any letter you send http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...urt-9-May-2012

        Case to refer to is A Retailer -v- Ms B & Ms K. 2012 oxford county court.

        Basically, from what i know the retailer used RLP and they lost in court today due to not being able to prove actual loss. No loss, no right to claim compensation for loss!

              If you have a wicked streak in you, you could write the word "LOSERS" on a piece of white A4 paper and send it to RLP anonymously. LOL!

                after that last comment I am wondering just how many sheets of A4 will have the word LOSERS turning up in their offices tomorrow morning

                    I seem to get the feeling that an RLP letter could be very useful, if one runs out of loo roll, plus rather than flushing it you could always return to sender
