Traffic Ticket Situation - Beverly Hills Courthouse

[badluck666]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Hello, I have another odd situation for you all. My boyfriend was issued a traffic ticket in July of 2010 for unsafe left turn. He paid the ticket in cash at the courthouse that same month. After 3 years, he tossed the receipt.

3 months ago, he received a letter that his license was being suspended due to the ticket being unpaid. He called the courthouse and they said that they would run the request/case again, but received another call earlier this week that this was unsuccessful and the ticket remains in unpaid status.

What can be done? This smells awfully fishy to me. How can a ticket randomly resurface 4 years later? Wondering if an attorney is necessary here.

unless you saw him pay, or saw the receipt, then you really can't say that he paid the ticket.

Could he have another ticket that he did NOT pay?

Point taken, but the details of the ticket in question are laid out in the letter. Hard to forget paying a $700+ ticket, I would think.

1. Stop doing things that the nimrod will be ticketed for.
2. Pay the ticket, forget the lawyer, (unless he has bouco money and wants to make a point) and move on.
3. The court system is inept, sue them. Good luck.

Another useless post. You seriously need to stay out of this forum.

How did he pay it? Unless it was cash there should be some proof of the means used available.

Let's let OP decide if the post is useless.

Thanks for the advice.

It clearly demonstrated that you did not read the OP.

So sue me.

OP did say it was cash.

By the way, once again this has nothing to do with auto accidents or vehicle claims. It should be in the traffic ticket section. Sigh...

Yep, I missed that

Op is sol then and that sol has nothing to do with statutes nor limitations.
