Rhode Island says I owe them $100 for a traffic ticket from 18 years ago

18 years ago??? Seriously? I’ve never even been to Rhode Island.

I paid it. Not worth arguing about.

That was going to be my suggestion. I once received a parking ticket from a city 200 miles away that I had never visited in my life and the ticket didn’t even have the correct vehicle listed. I called them and they told me it was their error and would be dismissed to just wait for a form to come in the mail. Well what came in the mail was a license suspension notice and a court appearance date. I had to take off work and get someone to drive me 200 miles to straighten out this mess. From now on I just send them a check even if it’s bogus.

They make their money betting on those who are not willing to fight it. Nick has the means to pay without a blink of the eye. I don’t have that pleasure.

I would have signed up for the payment plan. Just to be a pain in the ass. Give em $5 a month for 20 months.

One capital hill is not in 02909. It is in 02908, 4 miles away. Something is fishy here with the fake address.

here is an excerpt from the real webpage for RI government
“* To make a payment by check please make it payable to RICCU and send it to the Rhode Island Central Collections Unit, One Capitol Hill, First Floor, Providence, RI 02908.”

I’m not sure the “traffic tribunal” is a real thing or not.

For $100, who will bother checking it out.
I’d like to drive up there just to kick someone in the balls. Any locals up for the task? Does RI have an internachi chapter? Tell them “I got a message from Nick G”, and give them a swift kick to the jewels.

Which is how many scams work.

Looking on the official website though

things seem to match up.
