Re: Criminal restitution

It is not clear from your question, wht the exact nature of the act that was committed. Needless to say, many such debts might be dischargeable in a Chapter 7 if not challenged by a creditor, or in a Chapter 13.

You need to sit down with an attorney who can review your documentation and evaluate your situation.

Best of wishes to you.
