What is the name of your state? WI
I was caught shoplifting at a major retail store. value was $20-$30. A month later they sent me a letter stating they had the right to demand me to pay them $200 and this this would not guarantee that i would not be prosecuted. I sent them a personal check for $200. 7 months later i am being sued by the state. they had no notification of any restitution paid and have never heard of a retailer doing this. the DA's office has no idea of what happened. I've been attempting to represent myself until now b/c i'm not eligible for a public defender and can't easily afford an attorney.
has anyone heard of a retailer doing this?
should i get an attorney?
