    Someone Used My Name (Fraud) on a Speeding Ticket and I Can't Appeal

    Okay I am really aggravated because I never had a driver's license in my life and don't even drive or own a car. Here is where my story begins...

    Several months ago someone used my name and I didn't get a notice untill 3 months later that I had a $1,347 speeding ticket fine. I was really pissed off because I planned on getting my driver's license this year and this will affect me from getting one untill I pay off the fine and I wasn't going to pay off for something I didn't commit so I appealed.

    After the first appeal letter I sent in they kept sending me letter (about 3-4 more times) telling me to appeal to this place, appeal to this address, write your appeal to this place, ect before the date given. It was bothersome but I did it anyways and wrote a letter of appeal each time before the due date. The last letter they sent me was for an administrative review which costed me $40 for the court to review I payed it off and a few days letter they sent me a letter telling me to go to the King County Superior Court and file some paperworks. I went in and the clerk was telling me something different she told me the administrative review is for appealing the money in collection. I was like WTF? I am appealing a speeding ticket that was wrongly issued to me. She told me the Department of Licensing of Renton had to file it in for me about the speeding ticket I was appealing. I am pissed off because I sent in the appeal letters to their address before the dates they told me to. Now I have a hunch that they never filed it for me and its been 2 months

    I am beginning to lose faith in this justice system. All I want is for them to grant me a hearing, bring in the officer, pull out the driving records with the car license plate and bring in whoever owns the car. From there justice will be served. What should I do> My money is in collection, I wont be able to get a driver's license untill the fine is payed off? Is there anyone that can help me?

      Keep all paper work and get a lawyer might be your only choice.

          Funny story: lady gets ticket for window tint, goes to pay fine for the window tint. Assistant DA says "You changed your tint, right?". Lady says "no I'm here to plead guilty and pay my fine". ADA says again "You changed your tint, right?". Ticket dismissed lol

              If someone used your name, then you could have identity thief also. You have to show id when pulled over, which the officer should swipe and run for warrants, etc. If they said they don't have any and gave them your name and address, then it will be harder to fight. You should be able to get a copy of the citation because they should have sent you something, it should have the license plate on it.

              I would get a lawyer and also check about filing a police report for identity thief. This would allow you to sue the person and get your lawyer fees back and any other money you had to pay. It would also have the police try to find the person who gave them false information.

                  Most lawyers are real good about working out a payment deal with them. I hate that it will cost you but having your name cleared of any wrong doing is probably worth it, even if you have never had a DL.

                      If there is a ticket, there is a description of the vehicle, and more than likely a tag#. Find out whose car it is, find out who had the vehicle and then file charges and file a suit for defamation of character and ID theft.

                        Plus they give you 4-5 times to take that class if you getting a speeding ticket, it is pretty crazy.

                          I see no reason why this can't be sorted out, just sounds like you're gonna have to go through the legal process tho and who knows how long that can take

                            Yeah but this has been months. The ticket was issued on Dec.29th, 2010 and I didn't recieve no mail untill March and I did everything and they havent sent me a court date. I appealed every time they sent me papers and even went to the superior court when they told me too.

                              What name was on the registration/insurance paperwork? I've never heard of a ticket being given out without the registration/insurance data being gathered...
