Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia

Re: What is a Civil Penalty ?

It sounds like the company is attempting to obtain a civil judgment against your family member. Depending on exactly what they signed and what they paid, they may still owe additional money to the store, which they are now attempting to collect.

However, Florida law differs from Virginia law, so it is hard to be precise. Moreover, I'd need to examine all the paperwork involved to get a full feel for the matter. Your family member should seek legal counsel in Florida immediately just to protect themselves.
