About a month ago I was charged with theft under $5000 times 7 (cause I had items from 7 stores). The store the caught me called the police because I had items from other stores besides there's, and the police gave me a court date and a fingerprint date (I have already gone to get fingerprinted), and also told me that I was going to be charged with theft under $5000 dollars x 7. Which is a little deciveing to me cause the total of all of the items from all the stores was only about $200, but I guess that's the category I get put under. And I'm fine with all of this, I understand that that's the measures that they had to take.
But today I got a letter sent in the mail from the company that I got caught at say that they wanted me to pay them $325 for the damages that I did, which were the property that I took(which I don't have), the people that worked there that had to deal with me (which they employ) and for destressing the customers (?? ) and they said that I have to pay it in 28 days,and that's before my court date.
So does anyone know if this is write of them to try and make me pay $325 before my court date? And also if they can make me pay there 'fine' and then also still charge me?? It just doesn't seem write to me , but I don't know.
Also if anyone knows how much I could be fined for what I'm being charged with, or what else might happen it would be awesome for someone to tell me cause I'm kind of lost hear . Help??
also I live in canada but any info would be wonderful!!
thanks so much
