Actually my daughter had a similar event to this one, but with a twist. They made her pay for the merchandise right there in the store. $70.00 worth, and then sent the 625.00 claim as well. They did not call the police at all and she is grateful for this. However, it really feels like extortion. Mostly because the store made her pay for the merchandise on the spot then turned around and is threatening to sue as well. She is paying them off, but I am considering going to a lawyer to make sure that her rights are not being violated. Any words on this?
