I was given a continuation without a finding and ordered to pay restitution of $13,000.00. I was ordered 5 years probation and I was working at the time however I got sick with lymphoma (cancer) and I was out of work for 2 years and was only receiving $300.00 month from welfare. During this time I still continued to pay $100.00 month. My case comes up in May 2016, and I recently got a job but was let o du to this showing up on my background check. I am having a very difficult time finding employment due to this. Even though it is not a conviction it I being held against e from employers. It will certainly not be paid in full by 05/2016. I have had to file bankruptcy because of being out of work or so long and I did include e restitution as part o my bankruptcy. What can I do? Nobody will hire me and it seems like this will never go away. Please help :-(
