Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Statute of Limitations for Traffic Offenses

My husband was recently notified by the San Diego Court that he owed $2000 for a failure to appear from a traffic violation in January of 1998. Is there a statute of limitations for traffic violations? He has no record of owing the fine on his credit report and had no prior knowledge of this debt. Is there any way to fight this?

A late appearance is better than no appearance. Have him go to court or an attorney appear for him. Call me directly at 16192223504.

Yes, just like with any alleged debt owed, the "creditor" must provide clear validation of debt proof in order to justify the demand of payment. If you would like prompt, affordable legal assistance in this matter, contact us directly today for a free phone consultation.
