I paid up years ago because I had an open AP and didn't want to get dragged into court. Thoughts on how to get any of the ~$2000 back?

- wyldfire 10y agoIt's unlikely, but you could do it. After going through the trouble of bringing a suit -- once you have the judgment against them, you'd have to get in line behind the other creditors. :(
- debt_suer 10y agoUnless they are in bankruptcy it's a free for all once judgement is granted. There is no line and can be collected on by any legal means. I used to work for a lawyer who primarily did collections of business accounts, some of which we personally garunteed, depending on the age/credit of the business.
- wyldfire 10y agoI guess I leaped ahead and assumed that everyone else with judgments would quickly force them into bankruptcy.
- dragonwriter 10y agoSteele is compelled to make restitution to victims of the fraud scheme (even outside of the specific charged offenses, per the plea agreement.) I believe in order to get identified as a victim and have a claim for restitution considered, you would need to work with the Justice Department, probably specifically the U.S. Attorney's office that is prosecuting the case. This is probably more cost effective than pursuing private litigation against Steele or any of the Prenda principales, because the U.S. government does most of the heavy lifting.
