Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Minor Shoplifting

In 2006 my mino daughter was caught shoplifting. The item was returned to the store in saleable condition. It was her first and only time shoplifting. The store has a civil collection office to collect for them. Do I stand a chance refusing to pay the totally inflated charges the law office is requesting? I am looking fo a good legal response to the law offices. I know alot of people are intimidated by legal letters, and are fearful of court procedures. I am awae that these types of law firms take pride in retrieving money for the client and themselves at any cost. Civil code 490.5(b)

Re: Minor Shoplifting

Whether you pay now or not, the girl will probably be charged with the crime and ordered to pay restitution. That's the way the system works. Save your money for legal fees.
