    I can make another question with the letter he sent me if you don't understand.

    Please Help me out.
    My recommendation... BORROW the money from someone to pay it back NOW... it will only get a lot more expensive if you don't.

    If the letter says you can pay restitution OR take it to Court it means - either pay restitution OR the store will press charges.

    Thank you thank you thank you! Can't thank you enough. I had so much stress about being able to fly out for my job! So in the long run it'd be better for me to pay.
