Attempt to collect on a 14 year old ticket

[Grumpy]

What is the name of your state? California
Recently my daughter-in-law received a "Balance Due Statement" from a collection agency based in Texas for a ticket that was supposedly issued in Ventura, California in 1993. She knows she did not receive a moving violation ticket there in 1993 and she was never notified of any non-moving violation. So far no one has offered any proof that a ticket was ever issued. The letter that came with this statement implied that her driver's license could be suspended if she does not pay up promptly. Is this a real possibility?
Thanks for you help,
Grumpy

Call the court from which the ticket was claimed to be issued.

You should obtain a copy of your credit report as it seems to me based on your story that there is a good possibility that this fine is on your credit report.

If it is, dispute it. However, this will have no effect on whether you actually owe the money or not.
