California | Civil Rights Law
Legal Question
490.5 (b) (c)
I received a notice from an attorneys
stating that they are
representing Walmart and they
have a claim against me regarding an
incident that took place in one of
their stores 3 months ago. This
is all news to me as I was never
contacted nor were the police. When
I asked my son how they received
our address, my son said that they
made him sign something stating
that he cant return to the store.
This person presented himself as a
police officer from another county,
but is a employee of Walmart. This
letter states that I have 20 days to
pay them or they will review the file
and possibly further action will be
taken. Is this legit? I called the
attorneys and they told me,
the store got the information
off my son's ID. My son doesn't have
an ID. Maybe a school ID, but that
doesn't have any address information
on it. They refused to admit the store
made my son sign something but my
son said they did. I was told to call
them back in a couple of days to get
additional info. My son is a
minor. Isnt it CA law to contact a
parent or the local police in a
situation like this?I feel like they are
abusing this document they made
my son sign for monetary gain
purposes only.
