After noticing that my license had expired, I called the DMV to ask why I had not received a renewal notice. I was surprised when they told me that the license had been suspended on Dec-07 when I had failed to appear in court last year due to a traffic ticket received on 4/16/07 in San Pedro, CA. I have never been to that city and it's more than 100 miles away from my place of residence.
In addition to that, on 4/16/07, the same day of the ticket, my DMV record was changed, without any kind of authorization from my part, to an address in Torrence, CA, another far away city that I have never been to.
The only link to the traffic ticket is that the name of the person that received it is similar, not even the same, to mine.
The DMV refused to acknowledge the obvious mistake and told me that the issue had to be resolved by the San Pedro court. The San Pedro court told me that I had to write a letter to the Judge's consideration, but since my DMV record shows Torrence, CA as a previous address, the judge was unlikely to grant any requests. I talked to an attorney, who recommended that I request a DMV hearing to challenge the suspension, but the DMV refuses to grant any hearing.
In the mean time, my driver's license is suspended! I've talked to the DMV department of mandatory action, visited the local DMV office, called and written to the DMV Sacramento office, and practically begged the San Pedro court to correct the issue. I've already sent the letter to the judge's consideration, but it will take 30 days to process, and even then it may not be effective. I haven't been able to get ANYWHERE.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated...
