My wife was arrested and plead guilty to a driving under the influence in the State of California. She completed all court ordered classes probation and paid the fine. The arrest is now off of her driving record. The county of San Bernardino is now, 12 years later, saying that she owes money and is threatening a lien on our state income tax return if its not paid in full. There has been no communication from the county for 12 years. The addrfess for my wife has not changed and the county can show no form of due diligence to collect anything from us. Do i have an recourse? Is there a statute of limitaion? Thank you
you need to talk to a San Bernardino lawyer with experience and connections...............it is possible a SERNA motion would prevail.
a lawyer would need more facts.
if a fine has not been paid that should have resulted in a Bench Warrant........but you say case not on record..........
maybe that is only as to DMV but not court.
