Do i have to pay RLP

[glow]

I hadn't heard from RLP for 4 months, i got a letter from them today saying, they would except £49.95 50% deduction if paid within the next 14 days. Do i have to pay this after 4 months.

Presume this was for alleged shoplifting or similar. You don't have to pay them at all


just ignore

Thank you for you quick response. RLP said if i didnt pay this within 14days, they will be asking for the full amount, will they take me to court if i dont pay can you be 100% certain this won't happen.
How many people have experienced this horrific situation.

Look, if they were sure of getting the full amount why would they offer a 50% discount??
RLP can't take you to court. Only the retailer can do that.

This is approaching their last push, they might pass it to a debt collector who can be ignored as well

Thats true.!!
So all in all. I just ignore all letters.?
Thank you

Yes!

Don't pay don't say. Don't communicate with them in any way. Keep all the letters. They had a terrible telling off from the courts a few years ago and haven't attempted a prosecutionsince. They're all wind and Piss.

I can't give you an exact figure, but I bet the vast majority are thieves.

And what does that have to do with this poster?
So called civil recovery companies are no better than vigilantes who set themselves up as judge jury and executioner

[seduraed]

Only a court has the right to impose fines. The so-called Civil penalties: for taking staff away from their work was ruled to be invalid.
So whether the OP; or any other person has stolen or not, is irrelevant, the retailer needs to take them to court. That's what the "rule of law" is about. It's not about private companies making money from this.

How long will i keep getting letters from RLP. Will i be black listed. Im just so scared of having a bigger fine to pay if i ignore the previous letters.

[des8]

Difficult to say how long they go on for.
Towards the end you might get a letter offering you a "discount" to avoid court action! (as if!)
Sometimes you might receive a letter from a debt collection agency, which should also be ignored

You can read their letters here; https://legalbeagles.info/forums/for...rs-rlp-and-dwf

no black list
