Unpaid ticket over a year

Hey guys,
I recieved a ticket when i was coming back from school. I think i was over 14km and the ticket was worth $60 with no points. Everytime i called to pay the ticket the person would say it's not in the system.
I'm just scared if that ticket now turned to an $1000 fr not paying for a year now. It was in oshawa under Durham. Could someone tell me how i can find out if i have any tickets to pay off? i just want to be sure i don't owe anything.

thanks
M

Happened to me many moons ago. I also called and kept a record of whom I spoke to and when. It never arrived. Call and keep records so you can prove you made an attempt.

Can you not go in to the police station and pay it?

u can go to local MTO office or provincial court office (traffic court) and get a print out of any out standing unpaid tickets... simple and done.

Why pay it? There may be lots of reasons that a ticket stops being processed.
Maybe the officer realized he was wrong and decided to forget it.
Can't see myself walking into a police station to pay for a ticket that hasn't been issued yet.

If you forget about it because it iis not registering in the system it may come back to bite you in the butt. I have seen this haapen and sometimes a persons licence gets suspended due to the unpaid fine and then it is not a good scene. Your best bet would be to pay it and put it behind you. Just because someone you talked to doesn't see it in the system doesn't necessarily mean it is not there.

When you say, you received a ticket, was it the one handed to you by the officer? Did you ever receive a court date? Was anything mailed to you?

I would never let an unpaid conviction sit on the books.
Receiving a ticket is step one in the process. Paying is the final step.
If they don't have a conviction to apply it against in their files, they shouldn't be able to take your money.

It was handed to me, i'm guesing i should've got something in the mail but havent' got anything. I just hope i don't see a suspension letter. Everytime i called, they ask me for a ticket number which i don't have.
I wish i wasn't this careless

Don't think it was you who got careless.
