Brief background about the case:
I bought a car back on June, the day following the purshase I found out the car has a lienholder. The seller promised to pay off the loan or return my money. the seller stopped anwering my phone calls and he did not do anything. I contacted the police and filled a police report. Last week I got a phone call from the detective's office that the district attorney`s office accepted the follow up of the case and most probably the judgy going to order a restitution. I m not sure how that works,,If I am going to get my money back,,,what about if the defendant has no money,,,should I fill a case with the court....I have no idea what is the next step...please clarify if it`s possible...thanks in advance

If you get restitution, it gives you the legal power to have the court seize cash assets or garnish wages to get your money back.

If the judge orders restitution, you will have a judgement entered in your favor. The person you bought the car from will have to make regular payments until you are fully compensated. If the person who sold you the car has no money, you're out of luck. That's the general rule of law--sue the person with money.

Since you have very specific questions about your very specific case you would be better served by discussing this with the DA.
