Re: Confused please help

If you do get one then, as always, just ignore it. They have no legal position to issue fines or penalties, the police have already done that. There has been no loss, the security staff were doing what they were being paid to do. Was it the police who issued the fine?

Search around here for other RLP threads. You may just find the Oxford case where they did chance their hand at court and got seriously beaten. They haven't tried again since.

Re: Confused please help

Thanku so much. Amethyst. I am glad I now have an idea on what they look like. They are very scary. And are u sure I should just ignore every one ??
I wish I knew when they would come. Or if they will. It's making me ill horrible horrible horrible. I'm beating myself up as it was so out of character and a complete mistake. Which I fully regret

May I ask does it say the shops name on the letter at all ??
Sorry for 20 questions

Re: Confused please help

The letters can come in useful.

In cases of emergency.......

Re: Confused please help

Yes they are meant to be scary, but seeing them in advance hopefully lessens their impact a bit.

It will have the name of the store at the top. Sometimes they include the value of goods recovered/stolen.

There's really no way of saying when they would start chasing you - I don't know your personal circumstances of course, but I think telling your partner what happened and what's coming ( and send them on here if they are concerned maybe?) might help take the weight off your shoulders a little ?

But yes, when they do arrive you should ignore completely.
