I had a ticket I got back in 2015. I was barely speeding, but I was unfamiliar with the area and didn't see the speed limit change. I've never had any tickets on my record, but I had to go to court for this one. I went to court, and they stated my trial would be at a later date. Well on that later date I could not attend due to me being in surgery. They gave me a failure to appear and I spoke with someone at the court house and provided proof that I was in surgery. Well, they sent a letter stating my license would be revoked if I did not pay $405 instead of $205 for the failure to appear, because they did nothing about my not being able to show up even though I asked for a rescheduling prior. I paid the fine the day of them stating it would be suspended and they insisted it was a day late and now they want me to pay $100 to reinstate my license. I got a job offer to a hotel that I really like and I'm worried about this affecting my chances now. Will the suspended license affect me getting this job even though it shouldn't have been suspended. I paid the fine while I'm out of work, so it's not like I can just pay that extra $100. I have not been driving with my license suspended, and I was going to reinstate my license with the money I got from my first check at this job. I even tried showing the DMV and the court house the receipt that I have dated stating when I paid, but they insist it was a day late.
