If this is RLP then just ignore them, as everybody else that comes on here is advised to do. The use of a debt collection agency a new twist though. There is no debt to collect on, unless they have thought of something new to pressurise people

What was the police fine of £90 you had to pay? What was the fine actually for? A little bit more explanation please.

Is the company involved RLP (Retail Loss Prevention)? Nobody, as a private company, can issue a fine as you call it. Only courts can do that and they are not that.

If you can could you post up the letter after first removing identifying details.

Writing to them never helps, it just shows them that they have you worried and may pay so they increase the pressure.

Capital Resolve letters is usually the end of the line... and is purely a last ditch attempt to scare you. Capital Resolve have no more power than RLP do. Only the store ( TK Maxx ) could take any action against you.

If you need more reassurance have a read of the OXFORD case >> http://legalbeagles.info/forums/foru...gment-09-05-12

the police fee I paid was for "police time" and they said if I didn't pay it I would go to court and perhaps have a criminal record

Who said this, the police or the security company?

Who said this, the police or the security company?

And how much did you pay, and to whom. and were you given a receipt?

They called the police and we had to pay a police fine of £90, which we did pay. They also said that we would have to pay a fine to TK Maxx for their time, we did not know it was going to be £396.

from other thread. So sounds like the PND...

Shoplifting

- Theft Act 1968

3.11 A PND may only be given for the offence of ‘shoplifting’ as defined under the Home Office Counting Rules for recorded crime

3.12Only one PND should ever be given to an individual for shoplifting. A constable should therefore check the PNC before giving a PND for this offence. If a second PND is given in good faith, but it subsequently comes to light that a previous one has been given to a person, the PND will stand.

3.13 The value of goods stolen should not exceed £100 inclusive of VAT. It is expected that in most cases the property will have been recovered and remain fit for sale.

However, a PND may still be appropriate in exceptional cases where it is not possible to recover property, for example where the items were drink or food and have been consumed.

3.14 A PND will not be appropriate for shop workers who have stolen from their employers.

Such behaviour is a breach of trust and needs to be dealt with by other means such as prosecution.

3.15 The victim should be made aware that the PND disposal removes the possibility of criminal proceedings and therefore obtaining a compensation order in their favour.

3.16 Constables should use their best judgement and discretion when assessing values,as they do when compiling crime reports.
