Re: retail fraud 1,2 and 3rd degree

This letter is a very common occurance in a retail fraud situation. Under Michigan law, the store has a civil right to collect the $200.00, which has absolutely nothing to do with whether there is a criminal case. If you don' pay, they may bring a civil suit against you. Have you been charged with anything? Visit me at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss the details. Tim Klisz

Signing this letter was silly. You should have consulted with an attorney before doing anything. I recommend you hire an experienced lawyer BEFORE you do anything else to harm yourself. For more information, go to:
