I live in WA. I was convicted of (pled guilty to) a non-violent, non-drug-related felony in 1993. Part of that was restitution. I had difficulty paying it, partially because of the felony preventing me from working. In 2003, I received a phone call from what I thought was the county clerk, offering to settle the case for $450. To make a long story short, I found out it was a scam when I started looking in to getting my record expunged in 2012, having been denied a job because of the felony. I found out I still owed a little over $700 on the restitution. So I paid it. This made my discharge date 2012. I can't get my record expunged until 5 years after date of discharge, but I believed in good faith that it was discharged in 2003. Otherwise, I would have taken care of it before 2012. My question is this: Is it possible to have the date of discharge moved back so I can pursue expungement of my record?

Good faith means nothing, actual date of final payment of your court ordered money, is when the REAL date is, The fact you were scammed means nothing, except you needed to report it to the police.
