    Default Civil Demand

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey

    I worked for a store and I was caught giving discounts. Needless to say, I was brought to the LP office, questioned, and had to write a statement that I'm admitting to my mistake and willingly to pay the cost. I got terminated and after two weeks I received a letter from a Law Office stating that I pay the $150.

    It says verbatim ...

    This letter is a demand that you pay $150 in satisfaction of this civil matter. This is not an attempt to collect a debt.

    and at the last paragraph, it says ...

    [Name of store] does not wish to file a civil action against you. HOwever, if we do no receive .... blah blah blah

    There was no police involved whatsoever. If I pay this $150 -- which I will by the way, is it over? Will I get arrested? I'm completely scared.

    If they say no then its likely no! We cant read your employers mind. However your employer has nothing to gain my filing criminal charges especially if you pay the Civil Demand

    i recieved the exact letter. but i stay in california. it says they dont wish to pursue criminal charges or something similar right? well mine demanded 295.00 and now that im done making payments on it guess what? they are filing charges. either way it shouldnt stop you from paying what theyre asking for. if you dont pay it and they take you to court itll be worse. dont take your chances
