So I read several posts about this from a few years back: traffic camera takes a picture of my car supposedly speeding through Baker, sends me a form ticket for $40. They don't have my face, my drivers license number, my social security number, or anything else----just a picture of my car and a fine. I ignored it, and just recently received the "collection" letter from the law offices of Putz, Douche, and Penislike. The fine is now $115.
I know they can't press any type of criminal charges. Can they submit this debt---one that I did NOT agree to or enter into a contractual agreement regarding----to the credit bureaus? I have nearly perfect credit, and this is a bunch of crap......help, please?

You have nearly perfect credit but you just ignore bills that you get in the mail?

Hate those fricking things, my latest was one they set at the bottom of a steep dip. The speed decreased for about 100 feet, an obvious trap. It won't damage you credit much, but you will have to pay it off before purchasing a house, might as well make payments, crooked as it is.

I still can't believe that people don't vandalize these damn things. If they were tagged with black spray paint immediately and repeatedly they'd have been out of our lives by now.

Local law office?

They CAN, but all you have to do is call the credit bureau and demand a copy of the promissory note... They will subsequently remove it from your credit.

Those cameras are unconstitutional. You have the right to face your accuser in court, and in this instance, your accuser is a camera. I have a friend who is a police officer and he even explained why its unconstitutional. Most people just want to pay it to get it done and over with.
