Hi everyone. My girlfriend in trouble noW! She just told me a story that 5 years ago when she was 19, she stole ( shoplifting) some outfits from Macy's ( STATE MA) . It was her first time in America, she hardly spoke English. So anyway, whatever she was doing., she got caught. They put her in the room, the cops took her to a police, and made an appt. For her in court( really nice of them, ). They gave her a free lawyer who told her, she has no other way but pay like a triple amount in Fine. She paid about $700. Case been dismissed. She went back to her country. Now she is again in USA, having a husband and a baby. And a few days ago she gets a letter from a company representing Macy's , saying that Macy's proceed with a civil penalty claim against her. Amount she has to pay is $368.94. That's not a small money... I really want to help her, but don't know anything in this subject. Please, if anybody can help........she is wonderful person.
