As you intend to pay the Civil Demand...and no police were called....you *should* be fine at this point.
I'd just like to thank you, PandorasBox, for answering my questions along the way. Very helpful and straight to the point.
Just thought I'd give an update for those who may be looking for answers similar to their situation:
I paid my Civil Demand last month. Today (2 months from my incident) I received a confirmation letter of payment in the mail. I don't have the letter with me right now, but along with a confirmation message, it said something along the lines of I'm "free of the Civil duties, but does not excuse me from any charges with the incident."
How likely to file a charge now? Would I have been notified at this point?
Get caught shoplifting again, you will see how fast charges get filed I'd bet.
free of Civil duties" means jut that, the civil matter has been closed since you paid the civil demand. The store could still file criminal charges, but since it has been this long they probably would not. I think you would have received something from the court by now.
Thanks for the answer.
Any more input on how likely they will send one at this point?
Hi Dona...very hard to say at this point. They do have 1-2 years depending on the state..
At this point...I'd say very unlikely.
