Hi,
I received a traffic ticket as a minor (17) in Arizona. It has been 14 years, and they have now tracked me to California where the DMV recently revoked my license.
I honestly believed that I had paid the tickets a decade ago, however when I recently sent a letter to the judge to that regard, he sent a letter back saying unless I provide proof that they cashed a check or money order, the matter remains open. As if people keep canceled checks for a decade.
My first question is this: Because I received the ticket as a minor, can I claim that I am not responsible for it as an adult?
If not, what other kind of recourse do I have with a matter like this? The fine is $934 and I am a full-time grad student. So, not easy.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
