    Default Collecting Restitution in Michigan

    My question involves criminal law for the state of:Michigan
    I am owed Restitution from a case in 2008 when some broke in to my home.
    I have called this persons P.O. and they told me that this person is a real piece of work and if I ever get anything out of them I should feel grateful!
    Well I think that is bull this person took from me after I have helped them out!
    Long story short! Is there anything I can do to get my Restitution???
    Please help me

    Thank you

    You may think that is bull.

    I find it quite credible that a confirmed criminal has such poor character and so little assets and no normal job that you are likely to never get anything from them.

    In other words, it seems quite plausible to me that the person's parole officer was telling the frank truth.

    Maybe by "bull" you mean "unfair" (instead of "not true"). If so, I agree.

    Maybe just accept you are not going to get restitution, and go back to court to rescind the Restitution order, so that that person gets a conviction on their record.

    If the person isn't paying his restitution into the court, per his sentence, he may end up with a probation violation but there is no money for the probation department to forward to you. You do have the option of filing a civil suit, although I'm skeptical that he would pay a judgment even if we assume he has the means.
