Can I sue a town over improper excise tax assessment? A small town in Massachusetts claims that I owe back excise taxes from 13 YEARS AGO. I never resided in this town and don't know how I got onto their tax list, but they won't budge...they apparently sent these bills to a collection agency years ago, but no longer keep records that far back. I resided in a neighboring city at the time and paid excise tax in THAT city, but I certainly don't have any receipts or cancelled checks from that long ago. Can I take the town to small claims court to force them to clear my record with the DMV or explain why I was taxed 13 years ago? Please HELP....the DMV won't allow me to register my car or transfer my license because of this mix-up!
