accused of shoplifting at band q

[raymond7]

without going into the full story

 

i was accused of shoplifting at b and q, which i denied, the video evidence did not show me shoplifting, but they said they had enough evidence

 

i was asked to fill in a civil liabilties form, to which i refused,

 

the police were called,

 

they asked me to do the same,

 

i again refused,

 

i gave the police my details and said i do not want you to give them to the staff,

but eventually they did,

and the staff filled the civi liabilities form with my details,

and tried to give me the form, which i had not signed,

but i did not take the form,

they then said i could leave,

so i left without the form.

 

they said it would not make any difference,

they would still claim against me,

i took no items from the store and the items they accused me of taking,

i left there,

 

where do i stand,

 

will i still have pay the liabilities,

 

apparently for staff time etc,

 

any help, thanks

Ignore. Completely. If you get any letters let us know.

Hi and welcome.

 

You may get a letter from 'Civil Recovery Solutions Ltd if they are still acting for B&Q and if you do, pop back for help and in the meantime, have a read of other threads regarding shoplifting and the tactics they attempt to extort funds from you.

 

You do not have to pay anything. If they relied on shoplifters to pay their staff through civil litigation, they would soon go out of business. Security costs are already factored into the prices the customer pays so they cannot claim them.

 

In fact, they have suffered no loss whatsoever so how can they claim anything.

hi, thanks for the reply,

only happened yesterday,

so will wait to see if i get any letters,

 

the police tried to encourage me to fill the civil liabilities form in for quite a while, but as i was insistent, i would not!

 

they gave my details to the security to fill in there form, maybe there is something in that,

they wanted me to fill the form in, i'm guessing that would be an admittance of guilt and therefore liability,

 

if i ignore any letters, could it make things worse, bailiffs etc, as i say, will let you know about any letters recieved, thanks again!!!

[dx100uk]

nope no bailiffs

 

they only come after anything has been to court and you refuse to pay

 

but it wont get that far.

 

just read a few threads in this forum

 

you'll soon get the idea on this dreadful spoof.
