What is the name of your state? ohio
I got a letter in the mail yesterday from an attorney's office saying I owe them $202. Of course I called to see what it was about. They said I had a failure to use a turn signal ticket from 1995 that was unpaid and via fines and late fees that is what I owed. I said BS I'm not paying it because the person offered me very little information about it in order for me to even know what they were talking about. They couldn't even give me an intersection of where it happened. They said that I should contact the clerk of courts to contest it so I did...
The clerk of courts stated that I went to court for a traffic ticket in October of 95 and the ticket (I'm a little vauge on the details of this part) that was dismissed but I had a court cost of $50 to pay which they say I never paid. I don't remember going to court, and the two story's don't even match now.
I'm told that if I don't pay it my licences will be suspended, and a warrant for my arrest has been posted. Now how I heck did this happen if this is legit? 13 friggin years later?!? Why was there nothing done prior to now? What can I do about this? I honestly don't remember anything about this.
Please any help would be apprecciated.
