Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My friend was caught shoplifting in a Goodwill store in Lady Lake, FL. Merchandise returned. Was told not to come into store or he would be arrested. He has not gone back. Now he has received civil demand letters, from Palmer Associates Law Firm for $200 which he ignored. Now subsequent sent civil demand letters for $425. were sent. He ignored these too. He has continually been harassed with phone calls from Palmer Associate Lawyers which now threaten civil demand law suit may be pending. Should he continue to ignore or call Palmer and associates to confront this issue?
