After 15 years of paying my registration and taxes on time I was just notified, when I went to renew my car registration that I have a delinquent car tax on the 1999 grand list. The bill in 6/2000 was for $307 but since then it has accrued interest and now I owe $1,059.99. I moved from Calif to Wallingford CT. where I bought the car in question. I registered the car in Wallingford then a short time later moved to Waterbury and have been here since. Why was I never told I owed back taxes? I would have paid if I knew...but for the last 15 years I've bought two other cars and have been current on all their registration and car taxes. Why was I not told I owed back car taxes all this time. This is not right....
So now I cannot renew my current car until I pay these delinquent car tax from 1999 grand list. I just paid $3,800 for property taxes...now I have to come up with $1,059.99 for this. I'M UNEMPLOYED and can't afford this...... CT is killing me!!
I've been on the phone with Wallingford and Waterbury DMV and tax offices and each is blaming the other. Is there anything I can do to minimize the interest accrued?
