Registration suspension... anyone know how to fix this?

My vehicle registration got suspended, and I had to surrender my plates. DMV says I need to wait 115 days to re-register. Is there anything I can do to fix this faster? Any advice or tips would be appreciated!

Ugh, that sounds like a nightmare. I think you can appeal the suspension in some cases. Have you tried asking the DMV about it?

Yeah, I’m trying to get a hearing with them today. Fingers crossed they’ll let me explain my situation. :crossed_fingers:

That’s rough. Honestly, if you can get a hearing with them, that might help you get a reduced suspension or something. Not sure, though.

I’m really hoping for that. They didn’t call or email me, just sent letters. :man_facepalming:

If you have an appointment with the DMV, you could ask them to set up a hearing. They may help you get things sorted out.

I have an appointment in like 30 minutes. Not sure if it’ll work, but I’ll ask. Wish me luck! :grimacing:

Have you gotten insurance for the car yet? That might be important when you try to explain your situation.

Yeah, I got insurance in October, but my old insurance canceled in July. Also changed my address, so I missed a lot of mail. :roll_eyes:

I’ve heard some people have luck getting their registration reinstated after talking to a lawyer. It could be worth looking into, especially if it’s a complicated situation.

I’ve been thinking about getting a lawyer. Do you think it’ll make a big difference? :thinking:

It definitely helps. Lawyers can often speed up the process and get better results. I’d recommend checking out avvo.com for local lawyers in your area.
