Caught Shoplifting?

[Inspiredsince1998]

I was caught shoplifting today at Superdrug

they came to get me and they sat me down, took a photo of me and said I was banned from all Superdrug stores and savers stores.

they wanted my national insurance number which I couldn’t give them because I don’t know it 

they also said I would be fined and a letter would be sent confirming this. 

 

I have been told different things about this;

that it will/will not be on my record for long

that I will have to / can ignore all letters addressed to me from them 

 

help??

it was an eyeliner - less than £10 in vaue

moved you to the RLP forum.

 

plenty of threads here to read.

 

I sincerely hope they didn't say you would be fined?

the police were not and will not be involved

so it cant be a fine.

 

you'll get lots of scary letter from an outfit called RLP

you TOTALLY ignore them.

 

get reading a few threads here

"they wanted my NI number"

Who is this they? the store themselves or a security contractor?

either way what on earth did they think they would do with the information that would be legal.

What did your envelope look like? Is it obvious what the letter is?

Envelope? I haven’t had a letter through yet so i don’t know - will get back to you once i know what it looks like

 

@ericsbrotherI don’t know the guy that took me back into the shop looked like a normal dud so i would assume a shopworker

 

i also don’t know what legal stuff would go on.... thats why im here asking 

what do i do 

what will happen

 

Okay?

im not sure how this answers my question, yes i will read some more threads... but i was wondering if there were any credible sources that back up the theroy of leaving the letters alone

[dx100uk]

its called self help...

there are 41 pages containing 20 post each in this RLP forum you topic is in

simply reading here will answer all your question.

 

just use the search top right RLP.

 

no legal stuff can go on

as RLP are simply ambulance chasers that make money out of mugs that get scared by not reading silly letters properly.

 

there is stuff and all they can do to anyone.

 

credible resource...135,000 posts...

You came here for advice, soem advice has been given adn you question the validity and source of that advice.

We are all lay peopele, ie not giving professional advice but it is based on experience of the world and in some cases working in the field that advice is given on.

Now you dont have to take our advice, we wont get the huff if you prefer to look elsewhere or do something else.

when I asked what you think they would do with your NI number it is to prod you to think for yourself and question why they would ask for this when there is nothing legal they can do with the information so wouild you be wnating to give it to them knowing that they would want it to break the law if they processed it. Now you can take that up with the company at the top but TBH unless you want to spend money on a lawyer they will not answer the question or fob you off with some ridiculous answer anyway.

 

so for the moment read a lot about  RLP and similar situations to yours ans make particular note of what happened to the peopel in the end. You will find no threads theat ended by saying " thanks to you I gor sued by RLP and owe them a fortune". It isnt going to happen and the reasons why are explained in many threads. They rely on your feeling of guilt to get anywhere
