I was in a car accident in 1997 in Florida in which I received a DUI with property damage charge. I had no insurance at the time. Nobody seemed to be harmed at the scene, but about a year later, the insurance company of the accident victim succeeded in suing me for $30,000 to cover medical cost(chiropractor). The insurance company agreed to let me pay $50 /month and if I miss a payment then Florida DMV will suspend my license. I soon moved to Massachusetts, (I have had a clean driving record for 12 years). I promptly received a license but I stopped paying the insurance company the $50/mo. 12 years passed by with no problems and all of a sudden Massachusetts catches the discrepancy and decides to suspend my license until I straighten out what shows as “unpaid DUI fines from Florida 1997″ on my RMV report. The report was dated 2007 so apparently 2 years went by with it on my RMV rip without anyone noticing. Do I have any legal recourse such as; the statute of limitations on the judgement. Is there anything I can do to get my license back without this $30 grand on my back ?
