Unknowingly Driving on a Suspended License

[almangar]

My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: California

Hello all,

I received a ticket for tint on my front windows back in 2009 when I moved from NV to CA (still had NV plates on the car even). I had the tint removed, ticket signed off and mailed in the proof with my $25 check. It's now time to renew my license and my drivers license is showing I've been driving with a suspeneded license for the last 3 years. My violations are 26708A for tint, 40508A and 405095, I'm guessing for the FTA . I went back to my bank account around the time of the citation and went 6 months out and cannot find a check cashed for $25. So it looks like the ticket and check were never received by the court or never processed. I've never had an issue like this before and I don't know what to do?

can you find a check written for the $25?

If you wrote a check that was never cashed, your account should have an extra $25 in it every time you balance your checkbook.

Your best bet will be to try and find a copy of your old uncashed check. If you have a carbon copy of your sent check, that might help you get out of this. You can bring it to the traffic court judge and try and plead your case. Just gather as much evidence as you can get showing you actually paid your ticket and that it was either the government or post office's fault.
