B&Q ban and a store imposed fine

[Billathome65]

Hi first post. I got banned from B&Q for alleged shoplifting. I was checking out some new brushes for a painting job and was looking for the wife to get her bank card. As I didn't find her I dumped the stuff and went to get my phone from the car to phone her see where she was. Anyway as I got outside I was gripped by a couple of guys who then took me to an office and accused of shoplifting. They had the brushes and the packaging which was not damaged I told them I was going to get my phone to get the cash off my wife they where having none of it and banned me giving me a civil recovery notice with the ban. As there was no loss to B&Q can they legally enforce any civil recovery as the police where not involved so no police charge. Even if I had nicked the stuff as no damage was caused I'd be suspicious of Thier rights to recover a fine. Any advice appreciated.

B&Q security seem to be having a field day.

Cheers i had a feeling that would be the case as they go on in the cibol recovery notice about common law and the thing I'm aware of is that common law sees this as a civil matter and as no actual loss to a living person as B&Q ain't that then no loss and as I said no packaging was damaged in a mad attempt to steal. As for the ban as I see it it's a no trespass warning which again is civil matter I'll just go to another store for the bits I can't get elsewhere just means I can't pay at the trade counter anymore shucks it wont be long before online sales wipe these fools out anyway. Cheers for the link it put the wife's mind at rest.
