    Question 15 Year Old Girl In Trouble For Shoplifting

    today i got caught shoplifting at Kmart...
    and the total amount was less then 20
    and around 30 to 35 dollars with taxes added...
    the person who detained me told me i would get a letter sent home...
    saying i would have to pay for the product stolen and also for wasting there time filing paperwork...
    and they banned me from the store or i would get arrested...

    how much of a fine will i have to pay in this case since i have no criminal record?

    thanks im less worried about the whole situation now my next question would be
    whatever the amount is does it have to be paid immeadiately or by payments.....
    because then again I am 15 and well my parents won't help me on this one....
    nor will i let them so can this be paid maybe in monthly payments?

    You can request the opportunity to make payments, and even try to negotiate for a lower amount. They don't have to say yes, but it doesn't cost you anything (but a few moments of time) to ask.

    alright
    so its possible right?
    well that makes me feel better the problem is
    i wasnt the only one caught my friend which is 16
    also got caught and the amount was almost the same just a little higher
    but it didnt go up to 40 dollars

    so we have to pay for the products and then pay for there what so called
    "services" which would be up to 200 dollars right?

    they told both letters would be sent home and also that we would have to pay for there services is that even possible??

    The $200.00 figure was a guess I have no way of knowing for sure. That guess comes from other cases at same approx level I am aware of. The other party is not your concern. Do as Aaron suggests

    In California, the retailer may make a civil demand in the amount of $50.00 up to $500.

    because the amount was less that 40 with taxes added
