Legal Question in DUI Law in Massachusetts

Prior DWAI and subsequent loss of license
I received a DWAI in CO about 10 years ago, in April of this year I was pulled over and refused the breathalyzer test, resulting in a mandatory 180 suspension, plus an additional 45 days for attending a court mandated alcohol class.

The RMV sent me the letter stating the terms of my suspension (180 +45). However I went in for an appeal to receive a hardship license today and they informed me that they are showing a ''DUI'' from CO, even though my court record shows DWAI.

As a result they want to increase my suspension to 5 years! 2 years for a second DUI offense, and an additional 3 for refusal of the breathalyzer.

My license is now on an ''administrative hold'' pending further information on the DWAI. What do I need to do?

The RMW can take out of state convictions into account. One would have to see the law in Co to determine how it fits into Mass. Law?
