Hello it's my first time writing to a forum I apologize for any mistakes. I'm not British so my English are not so good... Two days before me and my friend went for shopping and we be done something terrible,I have regret 100% I'm not gonna do it again,I didn't know what was in my mind.We be put in ours bags one pair of ratings without paying it costs 5 pounts.We VE caught by the security we went to a private room they examine our bags and they asked us if we have stollen something else.Then we write down our names,Addresses,date of birth.we didn't sign any paper the haven't call the police.He gave us a copy of RLP and they told us that we will receive a letter in order to pay and when we receive it we have to call them in order to inform us how to pay. I would like to ask you a few things because I am really scared: I read so many things in the Internet about RLP... I can pay the amount no problem...Is it correct to do it? MY QUESTIONS ARE:WHEN PROPABLY I RECIEVE THE LETTER BECAUSE I AM LEAVING FOR TWO WEEKS AND NOBODY WILL BE AT HOME 2) HOW MANY DAYS I HAVE IN ORDER TO PAY? 3) WHEN I PAY THEM WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? 4) I VE GOT A CRIMINAL RECORD? MY EMPLOER WIIL BE INFORMED AND I WILL LOOSE MY JOB? WHAT ABOUT MY FUTURE PROPOSED EMPLOYERS??? I AM VERY SCARRED I CAN'T SLEEP... I LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE IM NO GONNA TO DO IT AGAIN. ANY ADVICE WILL BE HELPFUL THANKS VERY MUCH
