my boyfriend made a small mistake in a desperate situation (he took a few dollars worth of food from his previous place of employment when he couldn't afford it.) His employer specifically told him that he would not be placed on the retail theft database. My boyfriend co operated fully, and agreed to pay restitution. In addition to demanding six times the amount he agreed to pay, he later found he was on the database when he applied to another company. Yet they refuse to let him see the charges against him or even the contract he signed because it's 'confidential.'

My boyfriend feels that he was lied to and that they have no right to 'throw the book at him' after winning his cooperation under false pretenses

YES. You can ask the courts for just about anything. Good luck.

I never hurts to ask, I would defenitly ask. The worst they could say is no. I do think that your man was lied to and he should take that up this his previous employer. He may have a lawsuit for slander.

Companies will say anything to get their stolen $ paid back
