I was convicted on a fraud charge back in 1993 in federal court and sentenced to 16 months and to pay a restitution of $81,000 to be made to the victim, in this case, Dreyfus. The sentence also carried a 3 year supervisory release order. I was later on deported in early 1994 without any chance an attempt to pay the restitution or seeking a re-sentence to have it vacated. Also, during my incarceration, I did not receive any notification from the authorities or the victim to commence on making restitution. I am seeking to take a trip back to North America and this issue is staring me in the face. I will need your assistance to know if there is a chance within the law to make a case for vacating this restitution or if there is a time frame which such restitution lapses.
