    If you don't make arrangements to pay the Civil Demand, there is a good chance they will go ahead and file the police report - the first step towards Criminal Charges, which will cost you a lot more money and give you a Criminal Record.

    Time to grow up, be responsible (that includes filing the next FAFSA).

    They said they may escalate this. They have enough info to send me the mail, but I'm not even in the lease.

    What makes you think you have to be on the lease for them to find you through your address, regardless of temporary or permanent?

    so, how did they contact you? Whether you are on the lease or not is irrelevant.

    Okay irrelevant. They have contacted me through mail and tried to contact me through the phone, but I haven't had the chance to pick it up. Been struck with a fever. We haven't communicated yet, but on the letter it states they may escalate. I even called the store manager and he said he couldn't do anything.

    I am also living in poverty. Will they actually sue me even though I have no assests to pay the legal fees and and court charges.

    I have nothing to pay with at the moment.

    You are free to refrain from paying, and finding out if they sue you or if they refer your case for prosecution. We don't have a crystal ball - at least, not one that works.

    They should not be saying, "Pay the civil demand or we'll prosecute," if that's what you're telling us; I'll comment more on that if you clarify.

    They said they may do it, which is really irritating me. I just want to know how they can reach me if they do sue.

    They have your name, your phone number and your current address. Do you really imagine you'd be that hard to track down?
