need legal advise

i got a ticket back in 2004 while visiting texas. i paid the tickets off in 2004. i get a letter in the mail today saying i owe the entire price on the tickets.. what do i need to do to get this resolved. keep in mind, this was back in 2004 and i have sinse switched banks lost receipts ect....

 

ur old bank should still have records and u should be able to get that info from them.

 

well i believe i payed them with 2 money orders... so i dont think the bank will help

 

ummmmmm did u get them from the bank?

 

Exactly what I was going to ask.

Billy,

If you purchase the Money Order's from the Bank, they will have logs of the Money Order's. You will need to come as close to the purchase date as possible to make it easier for the Bank to find.

 

remember its a bank they have to keep records of all the transactions that go through there.

 

no i got them from an allsups.

 

Then you are going to have one hell of a time getting proof of Money Orders from Allsups. Their M.O.'s are logged by serial numbers from the M.O. itself through the machine. Unless you have the receipt with the serial number on it, you are out of luck.

 

then why did u say you switched banks......lol

I would just call the office tell them the situation and ask why 4 yrs later they are just now telling you that you still owe them.

 

holy hell allsups sucks!!! called the main office they said i would need the transaction copies so they could look them up.. if i had the damn copies i wouldnt be f#$%ing calling you now would I?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Had you read my post above, you would not have called their main office. sheesh.

 

i did read it, but i thought i would give it a shot.... next time just punch me in the nuts Ron

 

lol

 

I would call the court and ask why they are bringing this up now. Also state you paid them. see what they say. if it goes bad I would just bite the bullet and pay them again. you cant really agrue with them.

 

How much is it?

 

almost 600

 

holy shit! now thats a ticket! so if you really had not paid that ticket then your license has been suspended for 4 years. have you been pulled over after that?

 

I still say u fight it......after 4 years of not hearing anything from them you should be clear and free......IMO

 

exactly what i was trying to get at, if after 4 years you havent had license issues you should be fine, normally if you dont pay a ticket then you get a letter in the mail saying your license will be suspended if you dont pay it

 

yep and u get that letter 90 days i believe after not paying it
