UPDATE

 

RLP - they want £137.50 I just want the whole thing to goa away. So on my daughters behalf I made a (without prejudice)offer of £60.00. (My daughter was asked to sign something without being given the chance to read it and I suspect it was some kind of admission of guilt-she was not given a copy of this document)

 

So heres the last letter I sent:

Dear Mr Moorhouse

 

REF: CR Number:10-09-50-04

 

 

I am disappointed that despite replying to my first email sent to you on the 9th of March, you have not yet responded to my second email sent on the 12th of March. This email contained an offer to pay yourselves 'without prejudice' the sum of £60. This whole situation has caused me and my whole family a lot of personal stress, and yet have totally ignored this correspondence and the offer therein. Why is this?

 

Here is a hard copy of the email:

As XXXXXXs father, I act as her Legal Guardian in this matter.

 

Without Prejudice

 

My daughter (16) and her friend were recently accused of attempting to steal a can of spray tan at your store in The Arndale Center, Manchester. The Police were involved and they decided that no further action was to be taken and thus, officially, the matter was at and end. We have, however, taken parental disciplinary measures.

 

A few days later we received a demand from yourselves (RLP Ltd), on behalf of Boots, in the sum of £137.50. If we fail to pay this not inconsiderable amount, RLP have threatened civil action against my daughter - a minor. The tone and manner of this letter is extremely frightening and menacing.

I believe the amount you are claiming to be excessive. And your latest communication highlights the fact that this amount could increase greatly if your demands are not met. Your whole approach in this matter reaks of extortion.

I am in the construction industry and as the recession starts to bite my workload is evaporating along with my familys meagre budget. As such, we can hardly afford to meet any additional costs, but to avoid the stress of civil proceedings against our daughter (for a schoolgirl prank gone wrong!) I am now offering to pay Boots via yourselves £60. It is worth noting that this is £60 more than we can afford to pay you.

 

Can you please confirm if this is acceptable.

 

At the same time, can you please also confirm the following:

 

(a) What percentage of these costs go to your clients?

 

(b) Are you legally allowed to extort money from parents in this way without a consumer credit licence?

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Mr XXXXX

 

(On behalf of Miss XXXXXX)

So standard reply,It looks like they didnt even read your email.

I think it is important to stress that emails are not a good way to conduct any negotiations.
