Greetings..

i jsut got a notice from the Washington DC Parking people notifying me that a ticket I got there (I'm out of State) may be referred to a credit agency. Here's the rub:

It's over 6 years old (it'll be seven in March).

Isn't that a little OLD? What's the statute on that? Don't they expire after a few years? How about seven? Can I take the hit on the credit report, even if it IS legit to do so, at this time, and expect it to expire after the seven year period?

Basically - do I need to worry about a 6 year old $50 fine, or are they just trying to scare me into paying?

Thanks bunches.

Peace

An anicent parking ticket is never old. It is always active since the birth of the Christ until the Judgement Day.
