Is there anything that I can do about probable financial/credit damages due to county court clerk's misinformation?
Question Details:
My license was up for renewal but was suspended for county court fines. I went to fix this and the clerk stated that I had one fine and two pending cases. She told me if that if I payed the fine ($312) she will dismiss the others; so I did and was told my license would be instated. Two weeks later I payed $27 to renew my license and was given a temp one. With that I got a $10,000 truck with a $3,000 down payment plus insurance. Two mouths later I received a letter that my license was denied because I owed the same court $600 that I now can't afford. With no license I'm afraid of a repossession of the truck. What can I do?
Personal Injury Law Answers
Court clerks are not judges, and ordinarily do not have the authority to dismiss a pending case.
You might try writing a letter to the county court's chief judge; I'd find out the judge's name and send it directly. However, you can't put much faith in this, because it's all too possible that the clerk simply won't remember you, or will deliberately deny telling you that she would dismiss your pending cases. You might ask to have a payment plan for the $600 accepted so that you can get your license back; being ready to make the first installment on that would give you a better chance of having that happen.
