What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
So, I had a major lapse of judgement this past September and I tried to steal $60-70 worth of merchandise from a Rite Aid in Seattle. I was stopped while trying to walk out the store, had my bags searched, and was taken downstairs. They filled out a report thing took a picture of the merchandise and called the police. At the time I was 17, so the Rite Aid employees didnt have me sign anything. When the police showed up they didn't give me a citation, officially arrest me, take a picture, take fingerprints or anything like that.
After calling my aunt, they let me go on the bus home. They told me that I wasnt allowed in Rite Aid anymore, but neither I or anyone for me signed anything and I just left.
I now am getting letters from Palmer and Associates wanting me to pay them. I have researched the company and have seen that they are involved with a lot of so called "fraud" and am confused as to what to do.
If anyone could Help I would appreciate it.
