OK, So I go to the DMV in Colorado to get a license renewed. While waiting for the usual half day period, the woman calls me up to the counter and tells me I have 2 drivers licenses. I was puzzled and asked her to explain it to me. She told me when I moved back to Colorado that they issued a different number. She said there was a late fee for a fine on the old one and to go pay it and bring a receipt so they can issue me a new license.
So I take care of everything and go back the next day and wait again. Wehn called to the counter the guy tells me that they merged both together and that the other one was suspended because of the late fee from 1993.
He told me I had to file for reinstatement and it would take 3-6 weeks for a letter of clearance. He told me my license was under suspension until I could bring the letter back for verification
After arguing with him for 20 minutes he said it was not their problem and to leave. Waht can I do about this>??

I never knew ther was a fee. There was no notifications and I guess it did not show up till last year.

I don't see the problem that if fines and fees were paid, and the state in which the infraction occurred submits payment, why cant they FAX the information to the BMV? guess that's too easy. Many states are now on what is called a"share" program. If the fines and fees are paid, the state of Colorado should also have that info. Been through the same situation, and yes its BS.

Ask to speak to his supervisor. You may have to keep going up the ladder until you get to the county clerk or whoever is the top head of licensing.
Most likely though, by the time you do this it will be the 5-6 weeks and the letter will arrive and it won't matter.
What's the saying? You can't fight city hall.

Doubtful you will win an argument with them. Hiring an attorney would probably delay the process even longer and be more costly. Unless you can talk to the head of the department and reach an agreement, you are S.O.L. Sorry.
