Hi., not sure if I'm in the correct place, but here goes anyway.
I have received three letters now from a firm called DWF demanding £125 for the costs of the security at Tescos, what happened was I was doing a self scan shop and overlooked a pair of trainers reduced from £18.00 down to £5.00, anyway on leaving the store the alarms sounded and security collared me and checked my receipt to which there was no sign of the trainers, immediately apologised and offered to pay there and then as I forgot to scan them, anyway they took me to there office and took my name and address then called the manager on the radio or phone as he didn't attend the office, they said the manager didn't want the police involved but they did say I would receive a letter from RLP saying I would be billed around £150, to this I said call the cops but they wouldn't, I was then told I could leave, I didn't sign any paperwork or nothing.
A couple of weeks later I received a letter from a firm called DWF, saying they wanted a payment of £125,
The sum is broken down as follows
Value of goods stolen £0.00
Value of goods damaged £0.00
Value of cash stolen £0.00
Security costs £125.00.
I gave today received a letter saying if I don't pay with in seven days they may consider commencing court proceedings. Where do I stand on this please. ....Thank you.
