Hello, does anyone know if there is a statute of limitations in the state of California on how long they can collect on traffic tickets?
I live in Oregon and do not even remember getting a ticket there, but they have one for me from 17 years ago and want me to pay it now. With all of the 'fees' and such. The woman says I owe $589!!
I just can't believe that 1- they can collect for something from so long ago, 2- they can add fees to it like that 3- even if I tried to do something about it, from what I am understanding... she says I have to file to for something because of a 'failure to appear' I am so confused.
