    Default Drivers Licence Suspended Due to DMV Errors

    My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: California
    First of all I just want to get this off my record due to the errors by the DMV. This all started with a traffic accident I was involved in on 9-1-2013 where I was found at fault in a rear end collision. Accident report documented my insurance company, policy number and my current address that was taken from my current license and proof of insurance card. A little over a year later I am notified by my insurance company that my license has been suspended due to a DUI conviction last year and that my license was suspended as of 11-20-13. First I was never charged with a DUI and my insurance company help out with that but the DMV stated then that I did not have proof of insurance and that they had mailed out the order on 10-21-13 requesting information or they were to suspend my license. Problem is that I never had received the order from the DMV. Today I found out why. My current ID and valid drivers license that was issued on 3-29-2012 when I updated my address was somehow not updated with the DMV office that was sending me the notices. As I had a printed copy of my record requested today show that the DMV did not have my correct address updated until 10-20-2014 but I had a valid California Drivers license that was issued two years prior with the correct address. So all of the orders were being sent to the old address that I had not resided at for over two years. The clerk at the DMV office could not explain it and the number I call to talk to someone in Sacramento about it told me that there was nothing that could be done and that it is something I have to live with. Now that I have the proof that the DMV made a mistake that has cost me well over $2500.00 more in insurance cost, I'm a little upset and want to know what I can do.

    When you documented that you were insured throughout the period, did the DMV correct its records, and reinstate your license?

    Default Re: Drivers Licence Suspended Due to DMV Errors

    I got my licence reinstated but they wanted to charge me to get it back. After going to the office they waved the fees but did not remove the infraction. I have not been able to get it off. And it still was on my record. DMV states that they sent me the order in the mail but they just don't accept the blame for making the mistake and said they can not remove. I still had to get a SR22 due to the infraction being on my record which cost me way higher rates. Accident has fallen off my record but now i have found out that it was the DMV's mistake. If they have done this to me how many other people do they do this too. I guess I'm at the breaking point with this agency and want to just make it right.
