Referred here by the legal help thread. I ran two red lights in Tampa last year, one of them over a year ago, the other last April. I'm just learning about it today, because a collections law firm finally found my parents address to send them a notice for the first one. The second one hasn't gone to collections yet but I assume it will soon.The clerk of courts had been (I assume) sending notices to the address they have on file, which is an apartment I moved out of a year and a half ago. I found out about the second violation by looking up the first on the clerk of courts website. I'd have paid them months ago, but again, I didn't know about any of it because they sent the notices to an old address. All told, I owe almost $700: $400 for the first one (including collections fee), $300 (so far) for the second. Here's the kicker - I moved out of state a few months ago to Seattle. I have a WA driver's license now, which is good because my FL one would be suspended if I didn't. The small amount of advice I've gotten so far has been to get a traffic lawyer in FL. What else? Should I try to deal with the collections agency? What about the second citation that hasn't gone to collections yet? I'm tempted to pay it asap before it goes to collections. I don't want to pay any of this poo poo obviously, but I'm definitely erring on the side of "make it go away". Ramrod Hotshot fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Feb 7, 2022 |
