Can I Fight To Get A Suspension Stricken From My Record?
I got a ticket for an expired licence sticker. The next day I went to the Ministry office to renew my sticker. I thought that I HAD to pay any outstanding tickets BEFORE I was eligible to renew my sticker. The lady at the desk informed me that I had an outstanding balance and 407 bill that I had a to pay and I told her that I was aware of that. I thought everything was cleared.
Now, several months later I received a letter stating that my licence has been suspended. I assumed it was an error, but upon calling I have found out that only Parking Tickets and 407 bills can be paid at the ministry office and that my licence plate sticker ticket had to be paid through the courts office. Upon finding this out I paid my outstanding fine immediately, but was told I have to wait 4-5 days before my licence is reinstated. I have made arrangements for work, but am worried about my insurance rates.
I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this. I feel it is a reasonable misunderstanding on my part. I thought I already paid the ticket when I got my sticker renewed but am now finding out that it was for a 407 bill and parking ticket. I honestly thought that I had paid the ticket.
How would I got about trying to get this suspension removed from my record, and what do you think my chances are of success?
Thanks,
