I got caught shoplifting at "Supermarket name" in Massachusetts a few days ago. The total worth was $28 for vitamins. I got stopped by a guy who was an undercover for the store. The police weren't involved and I was let go, they took my picture and wrote down my contact info. I had to sign 2 white forms, one saying i'd be arrested if I ever stepped into another "Supermarket name", and another that had the amount i stole and my contact info, but i don't really remember much from those 15 minutes i was in there. I'm banned from the store forever. I left with a paper which i read as i stepped out of the store, it was a civil demand notice.

When will I get the fine?
What will the envelope be labeled as? (I don't want my roomate to see it incase he gets to the mail before I do)
Can I pay in installments instead of all at once?
Do I pay in checks? Is there any way the bank can keep the checks from going on my statement? My parents have access to my bank account.
How much can I expect to pay?
Will there be charges pressed? Am I going to court?
Will I be escorted by the police?

Anywhere from a few days to a few months

It will probably have the name of a law firm on it
Can I pay in installments instead of all at once?
Probably but you will need to discuss that with service trying to collect
Do I pay in checks? Is there any way the bank can keep the checks from going on my statement? My parents have access to my bank account.
Discuss how you will pay with this agency.
How much can I expect to pay?
My "guess" is about $250.00 buts its only a guess
Will there be charges pressed?Sorry we can't read minds Am I going to court?If charges are filed yes
Will I be escorted by the police?
Escorted where?
 
If I visited their office I could possibly pay the fine in cash? Do I need a lawyer? How long will it take me to know if the chain is pressing charges? Am I going to get fingerprinted?
