Hello I have been stressing for the past few weeks purely due to my own stupid actions and was hoping someone could advise me please reserve judgement my own self hatred is enough.
I am 17 from England. In simple terms I was recently caught shoplifting at ASDA and ,on top of the granola I had stolen that day, they went through an archive of security footage and stacked up all I had previously stolen - totalling £90. I was ofcourse ashamed and regretful as this is the first “bad thing” I’ve done and I’d only been doing it to impress my friends ( as embarrassing as that is admitting ) and wanted to pay this back. I gave the security guard who escorted me into a back room my name and address and I was told that I would receive a letter for around £100 which I would have to pay. Today I received said letter from “dwf” on behalf of ASDA and noticed that in the expenses due, whilst it details the £90 as the value of goods stolen, the amount due was £215 due to supposed “ Security costs” despite only using up about 5 minutes of their time. I feel morally inclined to pay the £90 back of course but the security costs seem unfeasible and I am worried that if i only pay the £90 they will pursue further action.
