What is the name of your state?Colorado
I recently was sent a letter from a law firm saying I owe money for civil damages for loss caused by theft. I really dont understand that considering the criminal case was two years ago. Does anyone know what the statute of limitations is in these types of cases.
Also, this new amount that I owe is more than 3 times the original amount that I stole. It says that this new amount is broken down into several parts restitution component, covering the cost of the loss itself and a civil penalty component. I dont understand the restitution part, I payed that shortly after the criminal case was resolved? Can they legally charge me again for a restituition payment?
If anyone has any advise please help me!!!
