Question

Help answer this question below.

I just received mail from a collection agency, saying that I did not pay my speeding ticket from 6 1/2 years ago, which I did within the allowed time. Don't have the receipt from 6 1/2 years ago. They never sent notice up until now. Is this possible?

    Ask for a Proof of Claim, that is something proving from the source (the ticket issuer) that you actually owe the debt) in writing. If they can not produce a POC in 60 days, the debt is cleared. They know the rules. Also check with the government entity that issued the account/ticket. Call them directly.

    This agency probably bought a bunch of debt and this is one of the accounts. fight it and they will go away.

    This is possible. The best thing to do is to send a dispute by certified mail to the agency with in 30 days of receiving the validation notice.

    Yes and here is why. maybe, back 6 1/2 years ago, this agency did not have the computer software to bring their outstanding accounts up to date. even now, some mistakes have been made and its up to you to go hunting for any paid receipts, concerning this citation.

    It depends on how the law has been written, but yes it's possible. It's called the statute of limitations you'll have to check the law library for your juristiction...or Google?

    Did you pay with a check? If so, contact your bank and request a copy of the canceled check. This will act as a receipt.
