What to do if I received a signed document by the Clerk of the Superior Court as being “Certified True” which was supposed to have disposed of an old traffic ticket.

What to do if I received a signed document by the Clerk of the Superior Court as being “Certified True” which was supposed to have disposed of an old traffic ticket.

I then called the court just to verify that it had been disposed. The clerk proceeded to explain that the clerk must have made a mistake because my case was still showing to be active. Aren’t the courts liable for what they sent me as being “True”? Shouldn’t they have to comply with their own document even if it was a mistake?
