If it's because the money is owed, then I would think the maaser kesafim
was already accounted for the first time you earned the money.
If it's because of an asei, then perhaps receiving the ribbis back would
be subject to maaser kesafim.

-- Agreed-my challenge with the ritva is that he seems to say it is something else (I'm not sure what unless u say it is because of the aseih but not a tikkun for the lav)
