    Default Motioning a Case Back into Court when You Don't Live in That State Anymore

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Illinois. About 17 years ago, my license was suspended in Illinois for getting into an accident with a parked car. I had insurance at the time, but i did not have the card on me. I went to the insurance office to get a new copy, but in the time i had them for my insurance (a little corner office thing that looked seedy anyway but i was a kid of 18 and didn't know better) the office had closed or moved. I was unable to get a replacement card, so i was charged with no insurance and getting into an accident. I didn't go to court, but there was no warrant, i was just suspended. In that time, i got criminal charges, and when i was unable to pay fines for the criminal charges, my license was suspended again, a few times. My license was never reinstated even though it was suspended maybe 5 times. I no longer live in Illinois, and i want to get my license in Indiana, but when i call to try and pay my fines in Illinois, I am told i have to motion the case back into court and have it dealt with. How can i do this if i don't live in Illinois anymore, and I want to get my license? There is no fee or fine posted for me to pay, so the only way is court and i don't have money to travel back there, take this to court and pay the fine. How do i handle this?

    Try contacting a lawyer in the county where these problems occurred who handles traffic offenses. Much of what needs to be done the attorney can do for you. But depending on the specific circumstances it may be that you’ll need to go to Illinois for at least one court appearance.
