Retail loss prevention

Re: Retail loss prevention

I gave him my real NI number coz I was in a state of panic .
When I get any letters about it I will post them on here. So if I get a letter saying I owe lets say 60 quid for unrecoverable items I just pay that? And if they send me anything other than priced goods like admin fees etc I can not pay it? There was some skin care stuff that was unrecoverable from the last time I stole

I very much doubt that their claim will be at all reasonable.

Unless they can prove their losses, I would not give them even a spoonful of my turds.

Remember, the cost to the store of the items you successfully stole is not their retail price but the price before mark-up and VAT was added.

Re: Retail loss prevention

Even if there are unrecoverable losses it is not for rlp to ask for the money. That would be up to the courts and as the police have said they are finished with the case that won't happen. Please try to put this behind you and take it as a lesson in life. No one has died or been hurt. Just don't. be tempted again.

I will never ever do that again I've learned my lesson I nearly had a heart attack

Re: Retail loss prevention

Good.

Why did it take being caught to make you realise it is wrong to steal?

Re: Retail loss prevention

I can understand the temptation, especially for people on benefits who have little, or possibly no money, but need something.

At least the OP has learnt the lesson, and that is a positive outcome.

In a way he was - not just you, of course, but all the people in the shop.

That is his job; he would have been paid for that day, or part of that day, whether you had entered the shop or not.

Therefore they (the shop & RLP) can't bill you for anything, as they haven't lost anything.

To try & do so is called 'unjust enrichment'

Unjustifiable Enrichment sums it up perfectly, Charity.

Re: Retail loss prevention

Of course not.


Then why did the security goon want your NI number?

I do hope you told him a fake number, as I suspect it may have been requested so that RLP may add it to their unregistered (and probably illegal) employment blacklisting database. (link)

All the more reason for alerting DWP about this. I believe an operator of one of these highly-questionable databases took a hammering from the courts, Cloggy. How long do you think it will be before the ICO, etc., decide to pay Cireco an unannounced visit?

We all do things that in hindsight were wrong sometimes we even knew they were wrong before we did them but it doesn't always stop us.

How many people can say hand on heart they have never done anything wrong, like stolen that pen from work, gone over the speedlimit, not paid a train fare because no one checked the tickets , smoked that bit of funny stuff, smoked too much of that funny stuff and gone cuckoo the list goes on. Life goes on and we live and learn

I was told by someone that he might of took my Ni to get me banned from applying for any jobs in boots anywhere in the country

If that was true, it would probably be illegal.

It would certainly be of dubious value, as how would the oaf know whether the number he had recorded was actually your NI number?

As already mentioned, it is very likely that the intention is to make an entry on one of the commercially available employment blacklists.

Would any such blacklist be lawful?
