Mochelling, theft and loshon hora

I want to know the extent of the forgiveness in Kriat Shema for night, and in general if someone Mochels something in their heart

If someone stole from someone else a small amount or big amount does kris Shema in the night time take care of it, even if the other person never reached out?
For it is a known teaching people may have to come back to pay things...
Does the other person have to reach out or is it cleared by this?

and same question, if someone just says out loud, and they really mean it, whether its Yom Kippur or any day of the year, I forgive everyone that ever wronged me, I forgive everyone. does this include anything that was stolen?
does the person still have to reach out to fix things or is it technically fixed and now between him and hashem to fix?

next question is the same thing but with loshon hora.
does bedtime Shema fix all loshon hora that other people did? or if someone just genuinely said to themselves they forgive everyone for everything
would the person then have to reach out to fix the loshon hora or is it now between him and hashem?

and also, if someone steals something infant of you, and you say to him, I mochel you, does he owe you even though you forgave him? or is it now become like charity and his sin is erased but still perhaps between him and hashem?

last questions on loshon hora please, in general if someone said loshon hora on someone but there was no damage done, does he need to apologise to the person spoken about, or only to the person he spoke the loshon hora to does he need to say he was wrong in his own perspective?

and if he said loshon hora, no damage was done but he also doesn't have the opportunity to tell the other person he told that he was wrong, how does he fix it?

thank you for all your help

Thank you for your question.

When we say we forgive wrong doings at Kriat Shema al ha-mitah, it only helps for small amounts.

With regard to someone proclaiming he is moichel: if this is a true case that happened to you, please write to us with the details, since this is a halachic website specifically for questions where one needs practical guidance in real life.

With regard to lashon hara: if the person does not know that you spoke about him lashon hara, then you should not tell him. The best repentance is to decide not to do it again.If however he does now that you spoke Lashon harah about him then you need to ask from him forgivness.

And if you spoke lashon hara and you exaggerated or lied, then you would have to tell the people that you lied and that what you said was not true.

Wishing you well.
