Dear Credit Score Report, My nephew just got out of jail after three years. He has a very excellent credit history. He also has a restitution imposed by the judge. As of now, of course, he is going to school to pursue his education, and he can’t pay his restitution yet. Will it affect his good credit in the long run? I want to help him, and your advice is very much appreciated. Thanks. – Dom
