There is plenty of information on the Citizen's Advice Bureau website, try googling "Civil Recovery + Citizen advice"

My question is what will happen if I send them a letter of denial - something like 'any liabilities is denied'....

What help are you looking for Science apart? I'm not sure whether there is treatment available for thieves, perhaps you could ask your doctor?

nothing as you were caught by a security guard and will most likely be on security CCTV, so how can you deny liability. you admitted on here you took 2 items and paid for 1 item.

If you are after someone to come on here and say shoplifting is OK then i think you will have a long wait.

Give the OP a break...he's come on here asking for some help, which is what this site is meant to be about.

I would follow the advice given to the person in the link that was posted....They gave an update three months later saying they haven't recieved any further contact.

send them something along the lines of;

Dear Sirs

I refer to your letter dated xxxxxx.

Any liability to your client is denied. No further correspondence will be entered into.

Yours etc.

Wait until they've sent you a second letter though.

Essentially, just follow the advice that was given on Consumer Action Group.

DWF are just fishing to see if you'll bite and pay the money.

It's quite embarrassing at how badly you've failed to understand what the OP's original question was concerning. You're conflating the criminal action of theft (which it seems has not been pursued) and the civil action that the security team are attempting to pursue in order to line their pockets.

Next time read the thread properly to gain an understanding of it - ask an Adult if you need help doing so.

While you are here, what was the end result of your other thread, did you ever get the camera from Argos?
