question on community service sentence

[hamper19]

What is the name of your state? NJ


In 1996 when I was 17 I got a careless driving ticket for doing doughnuts in a dirt field. I was given 90 hrs community service. I am positive I completed this, however, I got a letter in the mail today, about 8 yrs later saying I have 12 hours left. This community service was to be done in 4 hr increments on saturdays only. What can I do to fight this? I know i met the requirements, and I have other obligations on saturdays.

please help, I am going to fight this.

thanks.

**A: do you have records confirming your completion of the 90 hours or a letter from the court stating same?

Yes... your only bet is to pull up the records.

no, the only thing they had when I would go would was a little notpad, where you sign your name, and another worksheet where you sign your name. I would think it would be up to them to show they have me not completing the hours.

They give you nothing when you complete it, they say. OK take care. They don't give you receipts for days you complete. I asked them for something, b/c i knew some stupid **** like this would happen, just by the poor records it seemed they had.

I have no documents though, and I don't think they do either. Now if I went to court, and talked to the DA you think he would throw it out? I mean its supposedly 12 hours, of an 8 yr old case.
