My license have been suspended for several years and I have paid everything I owe years ago also . But I got an insurance quote and nothing showed up against my license so I went online to pay my reinstatement fee and they say that I have two separate driving on suspended license offenses that are over 20 years old, so my reinstatement fee is $*.* isn't that part the statute of limitations? And can't it be removed from my license and my reinstatement fee be lowered to a reasonable amount ?

Micheal, did you receive a receipt or any form of acknowledgement when you made the payment in Nashville? It might be useful to have proof of this payment when resolving your issue.

Hello Micheal,
Without the receipts, it may be challenging to prove you made the payment. However, you can request a copy of your payment record from Nashville's city office. It would be beneficial to seek advice from a local attorney for further assistance.
