    If you were not arrested, charged or convicted it won't show up on your "record"... but they can report it to the credit bureau and they can sue you for much more than the $500. You should call them and try to work out a payment plan.

    I suspect it will only be reported to a 'credit bureau' if you do not pay and they decide to sue for the amount and get a judgement. Who knows if they will take you to court - I used to file on about 75% of those who failed to repspond.

    Thanks for the clarification SC... that's what I meant... if you don't pay it you risk it being reported or getting sued.

    Simply put no Police or court date equals no criminal record. The retailer may (keyword may) input your name into a Retail database other retailers can view. Outside of that no one other than retailer and Civil Rcovery Service will know of this outside of yourself. Now if issued Civil Demand and you fail to pay or pay on time this can be reported to any or all Credit reporting agencies. Now if your name is put in the previous mentioned database and you seek a retail position this could effect your being hired.
