Re: order of suspension

Thanks for your posting. Your situation is a common one, and is unfortunate. There are two ways you can get your license back:

1. Pay off the amount. You mentioned this is not an option, but you can also negotiate to satisfy the judgment and make payments, or reduce the total if you can come up with something in full.

2. File bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge the judgment debt, and thus lift the DMV hold on your license (due to the judgment, which will no longer exist).

It sounds like from your financial situation bankruptcy might help you in other areas as well. If you're interested, or have other questions, please email me. I'm happy to help you in any way that I can!
