Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

late fee

My daughter, age 15, stole a 99 cent necklace from Kmart. She is doing community service and I paid $164 to the store's attorney. They now want to charge me $280 because they said my check was late. Is this allowed? I understand that my daughter was wrong but this is punishing me! Thank you.

Re: late fee

Sounds more like Walmart to me. What did you pay $164 for? What's the $280 for? Sounds like random numbers to me, with no relevance to anything. There's something you're not saying...what does the letter asking for $280 say (exactly)? What was the $164 for (what did that letter say--exactly)?
