For McCoy, who said he had his case settle in January 2011 but did not get any of his settlement funds until this fall, it has been a case of great frustration. But McCoy also said "the law is the main perpetrator" because it set up the situation necessitating liens administration.

"We're the ones that have to suffer," McCoy said. "They just hold the money."
