Before moving to Utah a car I owned was totaled while i was sleeping and the license plates were taken away with the car when it got towed by the Hartford police dept. in CT. I didn't realize I had to turn the plates in so they suspended my license for a year. I supose the year is now up and CT still wants me to pay for the plates and the restoring driving priveledges and whatever I was charged with and UT is concurring so that I can't get my UT license until I clear the CT situation then I have fees to pay for driving under a suspended license in UT that I didn't know was suspended. Pls someone help, what can I do to escape all these charges? They total well over $700.

I am assuming the plates are long gone when the vehicle was towed. Have you called CT DMV to explain what happened? Did you have a court date to explain this? Did you miss the court date? If you missed the court date, it is assumed that you are guilty. So, you have to pay everything that needs to be paid to clear up your driving privilege in CT. Then, once you do that, you will have to clear up all that happened in UT. Did you have your court date in UT yet? If not, present everything to them to see if they will reduce your ticket. You will need to present some hard evidence, not just your sayso that you didn't get the notification of license suspension. You will probably have to pay all of your fines. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to fight DMV!! If you do, you'll probably lose anyway.

You cannot escape the charges, you have been told you need to clear the situation in Ct, so get it done. You should have taken care of this when you lived in CT, the resources were there to deal with, now it's all about money.
