What is the name of your state? California
I was caught shoplifting at a grocery store in San Mateo County, CA in December, 2003. The in-house security wrote up a report, took my photo and i.d. info and said I couldn't come back to the store for a month.
On January 20, 2004, I received a demand letter from Safeway's attorney for $250. I am on social security disability and can't afford to pay this. What are my legal remedies with regard to paying this? What else will happen besides this demand?
I am very scared. I am in chronic pain and on a lot of medications and I didn't mean to do it.
Thank you for any advice.
p.s. one attorney I talked to said not to pay the demand.
Should I write a letter explaining my financial status?
