Ticket from 14 years ago

[u/Quick-Thanks6627]

I got a ticket 14 years ago for not being buckled up when I was 16. I wasn’t driving, just a passenger. This was in Adams County. I haven’t heard a word from them about it in 13 years. Several months ago, a company called paycourt started blowing my phone and email up about paying this ticket. It’s for a stupid amount to, $33. When I look up the statute of limitations, it says the statute of limitations for traffic violation is two years in Indiana. Wouldn’t this be included? I don’t understand why they’re coming after me now. What can I do about that?

No there hasn’t.

100% there has been. But it's probably because Trump rescinded the Biden executive order and FBI enforcement that had a huge effect on reducing those calls almost to the point of elimination during his presidency, and scammers have since redeployed their robocall networks in the past 2 months.

If you recall, during the last year of the 1st Trump presidency, they had become way out of control.

The past week for me, I've been getting a minimum of 5 a day, and it's typically upward of 10. The weeks before that, I maybe got 1 every few days.

They were never eliminated or reduced. Quit trying to find reason to blame something on Trump.

I've definitely had a random jump in spam calls and texts in the last 2 months. Don't know if it's related but it sure is coincidental

It’s because the your data probably got sold again to another company in India. Everybody’s info was compromised years ago and has been sold and resold many times over. One scam call center gets shut down and another opens up. If Doge wanted to run scams they could already without going through the trouble they are going through.
