I was caught shoplifting last week (very stupid and ashamed of it) It was nothing major just a couple of small items. I signed the stores forms banning me from going back and about civil charges. I received a civil demand letter in the mail a couple days ago with an insanely inflated amount of money they are asking for. If I do not pay this will they pursue any further? I've spoken to several people in this field and they said lawyers don't take further action because its not cost effective. THe store got their merchandise back and resold them I'm sure so restitution has been served. I own up to my stupid mistake. It was an impulse act after hearing some devastating news so I can assure this won't happen again. I'm not financially able to pay this large sum of money so I was told to ignore the letter. Will this be the end of it if I choose not to pay?
Thanks in advance
