Q: I didn't know I had an unpaid ticket I want to know if there is a way I don't have to pay a fee?
In 2015 I got two tickets I went through with the amnesty program and maid a payment plan for my tickets. In 2016 when I got my tax return I paid off what I thought was both tickets. I didn't know that the ticket fee wasn't combined. Here I am 1 year and 3 months later and I receive a letter stating that I failed to pay my ticket therefor my license will be suspended if I don't pay the $500 ticket plus $300 fee. I honestly had no idea and I feel that the time gap between my notice of suspension is weird.
A: Failure to pay issues and how to deal with them vary between counties, so you may need an attorney that practices regularly in the county that your ticket is located and seek assistance to resolve the issue.
