Mine cleared today.

I had the affidavit and submitted what documentation I had. I only had supporting documentation from the tow and storage (mine was a total from a wreck) but not the actual salvage receipt or such.

Worth a shot.

I would think the affidavit and some supporting insurance papers would clear a lot of people. Maybe just affidavit for older cases, one would hope.

I found email to be the best way to proceed and was finally cleared with scanned and emailed documentation, although I had sent it all in by certified mail earlier.

My last comments on the matter, but what a shame we have to spend the time, have our finances and credit threatened, have our professional licenses threatened, and even be told we we be unable to buy a fishing license due to inaccuracies at the OMV. Or I guess I was lucky enough to be in the 1/3 that actually did not owe a fine per Edmonson.

Papers are now reporting Edmonson at hearing claiming nearly 30,000 cases cleared, 4 million collected, $2200 refunded.

He appears to be bragging that 69% of the cases were true and actually warranted a fine. I would argue that sending notices that threaten fines, credit ratings, and revoking professional licenses with a 31% error rate should be cause for him to resign and the state to void the letters.

I started another post noting that the OMV and my state rep told me to send in a form on the disposition of the vehicle along with evidence I had. Both indicated it should help resolve the problem although my evidence is incomplete.

I encourage everyone to file the form. If you go the OMV website, they have a new feature in yellow at the top that states click here if you received a letter. The form I was asked to send is listed as an AFFIDAVIT of Vehicle Disposition now.

I submitted by certified letter a few days ago. There is still a hold on my license, but I am hoping it will clear as they work the backlog.

Looks like someone just said "Frick it"

BTW

The legislation (and fee increases) were written by this guy. He is the source of the $500,000 cost to mail the letters.

DPS and LPS head honcho, who immediately stated they would not enforce the 300,000 letters that were pre 2006. Thus immediately wasting $125,000 (by their numbers) to print and mail those letters that will not be enforced.

I actually received a late response from OMV "Contact Us" on their website and a quick one from my state rep.
