Money paid from the credit-sale contract indemnity fund in satisfaction of a valid claim constitutes a debt obligation of the person against which the claim was made. The commissioner may take action on behalf of the fund against a person to recover the amount of payment made, plus costs and attorney's fees. Recovery for reimbursement to the fund must include interest computed at the weight average prime rate charged by the Bank of North Dakota. Upon payment of a claim from the credit-sale contract indemnity fund, the claimant shall subrogate the interest of the claimant, if any, to the commissioner in a cause of action against all parties, to the amount of the loss that the claimant was reimbursed by the fund.
