    Default False Retail Theft Database Entry

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    Last year, I worked part-time at a department store. While working for the store, I was called in to see my supervisor and a loss prevention agent in their office. Not knowing why, I sat down with both my supervisor and LP agent and they had asked me if I ever took anything from the store or gave out any unauthorized discounts? I had said no, because I have never done anything wrong or illegal in my life. They had later told me that they had investigated my employee transactions and stated that I had given a total of 300 + dollars of unauthorized discounts to customers. This is completely false. They had told me that they could press charges for theft on me if I did not sign a promissory note and pay out of my own pocket the entire amount. I was stupid to sign the note, but I didn't want the incident to go to court. If I had known what I know know I would have wanted it to go to court to prove that I had done this. I paid the promissory note in full to their seperate recovery deparrtment in New York the next day. They had suspended me and later fired me. I'm currently seeking employment in the retail field as I'm trying to complete my bachelor's degree and times are tough. I have received letters in the mail from potential employers stating that I have an "esteem" incident for cash register fraud and the amount 322.64 along with a signed admissions statement. I would take this up with my employer but the problem is that they went out of business (filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy) completely last December 2008 and I have no means of contacting them. I don't know what to do about correcting this and if someone could please advise it would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

    You signed a confession and paid reparations.

    It can be argued that innocent people don't do that.

    Agree, you signed the "admissions statement" & paid the promissory note.
