Hi "you all"...
I recently moved from FL to GA and my application for a GA license was denied due to a pending "unpaid" speeding ticket and associated warrant for my arrest in another state (NC).
Over 20 years ago, I received a speeding ticket in NC and subsequently paid it. Since then I have registered cars, renewed my drivers license in other states and had background checks for employment; this issue never surfaced until last week.
Current status, I have asked the state to provide supporting documentation for this case and am wiating for their response. FYI I live in GA and have no intention of going to NC (especially not with a warrant for my name). So the court may not be an option for me.
Please share your experience in similar situation so I can have that debt and warrant removed from my file in NC (not going there in the near future &-))
1- How can I dispute this case? It seems to be a bookkeeping irregularity but cannot prove it since of course do not have receipt or proof of payment for a 20 year old ticket
2- What type of negotiation / settlement would suffice to make them go away? e.g. no interest/penalty and pay half of the original ticket,should I plead guilty or not guilty, etc
3- Can anything be done to avoid any impact to my driving record, insurance premium and credit record
5- Is there a statute of limitation that applies in NC in this case and would void the ticket/debt/warrant
Thank you in advance for your words of wisdomconfused: ),
