My husband has recently been contacted by Capitol Recovery claiming that over 20 years ago he received a non moving violation in Goshen City, IN. He is a truck driver and after all this time we assumed that the company had paid this ticket. They claim its for not registering a trailer in the state of Indiana. We are and the truck company are from the state of Michigan. They now claim the ticket was not paid and was put in a drawer and just found and would like the payment to made now in full. Isn't there a statute of limitations on something like this? The company has been out of business for some years and there is no way for us to check and see if this was ever paid. We cannot afford to take this on now, money is tight as it is for everyone. Any ideas?

I would absolutely call the Indiana DMV! Send Captol Collections

I would absolutely call the Indiana DMV! Send Captol Collections a debt validation letter...20 years definitely sounds like the statute of limitations have run out for sure.

Welcome to the Community :D You don't need consolidation or set

Welcome to the Community :D You don't need consolidation or settlement, this is way out of the SOL.

Send them a debt validation letter and have them prove it is not. Keep a copy of the letter you write, and copies of all correspondence from them. Send all your inquiries by certified, return receipt.

If you have any questions, please ask..karen

Absolutely contact Indiana authorities and find out if the debt

Absolutely contact Indiana authorities and find out if the debt is legit.

Was the ticket given to your husband as the owner or as a representative of the company? Depends on how liability is assigned.

I don't believe fines for criminal matters (regardless of severity) have an SOL. I have seen 10-15 year old violation turn up as arrest warrants for failure to appear or pay fine, used to be a California cop.

It will depend on how the state handles the violation.
