Re: Paid traffic vio;ations
Statutes of limitations generally apply to crimes and civil causes of action and not to traffic infractions.
Probably, your boyfriend's best approach to this situation(and likely the only realistic one at this point in time) is simply to write a detailed letter to the collection agency denying all responsibilty for the claim(s) asserted and demanding that substantial and credible
proof of the claims be submitted within 30 days (of the date of the letter--or thereabouts).
There's probably quite a good chance that this type of letter will put an end to the matter as the collection agency very likely will not have the proof demanded.
