Thanks, I appreciate that. I balance everything and approach things methodically. I feel like it's better than flying off the handle randomly. It's a skill I've had to develop over the years.

That was a very interesting conversation. They said that because I am not a national (meaning, I live in the U.S.), the standard statute of limitations does not apply to me. I am afforded a five year period in which to file a claim. That means I'm still in the time frame. They're sending me a packet to fill out and send back. In most cases, they said the maximum they can recover at one time is $10,000, but they asked me to file each pay period's claim separately, and they'll open one case for each one.
Fantastic -- thanks for the link! There really isn't any way to defend against it, and since Mark has never denied the debt, it should go a long way toward showing the basis for owing it.

I agree, which is part of the reason why I never sued him. The other, of course, being that he kept promising to pay, and I kept falling for his lies.
