What is the name of your state? Florida.
I reside in Florida where I have lived since 1982. My DL recently came up for renewal and today, when I went to do that at the DMV, I was informed that NC has a hold on my license thorugh the National Drivers Database. I spoke to the NC DMV and they told me I have an outstanding ticket from 1987, yes almost 22 years ago. The ticket was for $10.00. They have informed me that I owe $280.00 in late fees, court costs, original citation amount and reinstatement fees.
Can they get away with this? I was in NC during that time but honestly don't remember getting a citation. I am wondering if I have any recourse to fight this and if so what can I do in the meantime now that NC has basically revoked my FL license. I can't believe that another state can dictate what the FL DMV can do with a FL residents license.
Can they do this? Can I request proof of the citation? How can I fight this without having to spend a fortune traveling to NC to court. Can I get Florida to lift this for me ??
Thanks for any advice.
