Unpaid Tickets

I didnt get your cranky yankee comment whatever that means.

And i don't know anyone proud of getting tickets . Thats was an asinine thing to say.

 

no more asinine then you coming on here and saying you get tickets every where you go there, driver....

to have come onto a website and proudly proclaim you get tickets everywhere you go, speaks volumes of your driving, and habits. you would have been better served not to have said what you did.

Over 5 yrs old, dont sweat it, and dont tell everyone about it,lol.

ETA: BTW you can get a copy of your DOL abstract online for 10 - 13.00 !

 

My guess it was lost, forgotten or not filed. I got a ticket in FL, said screw that. A year later I get a letter from Texas Dept of Public Safety. Show up in Court we are taking your license. Turns out Texas and FL have a Non Resident Violator Compact. My choice pay the fine here and now or we take your license.

 

You didn't remember a $330 speeding ticket from 6 years ago? Nothing came to you while you were filling in the extensive and thorough background information on the application? DG, sorry, but that's a little hard to accept. You didn't put it on there for reasons known only to you, and guessed at with a high degree of probability by everyone else. Whoever said you should call your recruiter and make a clean statement has it right. You should do that. "I forgot the ticket" has about as much depth as "the dog ate my homework," it seems to me.

I'd like to say good luck, and I would, if I thought you'd learn from this experience and become a good driver. Some people change and grow up, some don't, but either way for me, it's just impossible to believe you forgot a citation while applying for a commercial driving position.

 

I'd pay it if it was me. Those things can sit there and turn into a warrant years later. Maybe not.

 

It varies on states and violations but if a ticket is too old it can be passed off to a collection agency even though the statue of limitations has run out on the police to do anything to the driver. Case and point a friend of mine got an overweight in Indiana back in 2007. The union was supposed to take care of it and never did. This year he gets a bill about the ticket and calls the court there. They explained it was just sold off to a collection agency but was past the statue of limitations. Of course he just threw the bill in the trash at that point.

 

I wonder if the collection agency can mess with his credit score now? probably not, but I am wondering so.

 

He said it didn't.

 

see this is not what I am sure of. yes of course, default on a loan, credit card, sure you get dinged as those are either secured loans or unsecured. But when a collection agency gets involved, they most certainly do report it. this is what i'd like to know about tickets, and no one has answered my question if interest gets tacked on (or fines as well) other than say a bench warrant?
