TK Maxx & RLP Ltd Demands

[carter.liver]

Hi All. I also am in a similar situation where TK Maxx have accused me of ticket-switching on 3 occasions in order to profit.

 

 

The police were called and I was arrested and charged with obtaining goods by deception but after being interviewed at the station no further action was taken. There was no theft however and the security staff said that all items involved were from TK Maxx.

 

it was a genuine mistake after wearing items at home I then returned them - all their tags are very non-specific so its hard to tell which tags are for which garments.

 

I now have RLP chasing me. After their first letter I (perhaps stupidly) replied and told them it was an error and I had not profited - basically what I had told the police.

 

Now they have sent another letter quoting Aerospace Publishing v Thames Water Utilities (2007) as a precedent and citing security staff costs and 'disruption to their business' as a basis for their demand.

 

They state that witness statement evidence demonstrating how my actions have have resulted in significant disruption to their client's business will be prepared once court proceedings are initiated. What should I do? Thanks in advance

Ignore them.

Or consider billing them for the disruption to your life and inconvenience caused to you by them failing to give a proper description of items purchased on their receipts.

 

What do they expect you to do - pin the receipt to the item?

 

Wonder what happens if you take the wrong receipt with you if you have to return an item to poundland?

Meanwhile, ignore them.
