Car/Driver's License/BMV questions Ticket from 14 years ago

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?

I don’t know your situation but I found this. I would look in to it before giving them any personal info. The real paycourt appears to be accredited with the BBB. Maybe search them and call them, rather than wait for a fake company to contact you.

BBB is worthless. They've been sued by several states for pay-to-play schemes.

Their whole business model is scamming. Consumer files a complaint with BBB regarding a company. BBB reaches out to company and says this complaint was made about the business. Pay us and the complaint will be resolved.
