I took some time to read McGarrah v. State, 268 N.J. Super. 577, 634 A.2d 139 (N.J. Super. Ct. 1990.Basically there is no way out of paying the surcharge. This guy was homeless, living on $500 per month and had to support his son and the NJ Courts say he has to pay. Even if it means he is suspended for ever.
That is not my problem. I want to pay the principle but not the collection costs($750) and interest that is accruing daily. I do have a material point for a hearing regarding the surcharge principle amount. I have a NJ MVC document that says one of my judgements has been "Paid in Full" resulting in total that is $200 less than what they want in surcharge principle.
Basically I want to go back to NJ MVC from Boston and (1) get a hearing regarding surcharge principle. If they do not grant me an administrative hearing then I will walk to the Mercer County Court and file an appeal. I am homless so the fees will be waived, then I will have to pay to have NJ MVC served. It is worth the $50. You/we are entitled to a hearing.
Once I get the principle amount corrected I will work on the collection costs and interest. My licenses had been suspended for 15 years. I don't care if I get my license. I just want these monetary obligations lifted and hopefully I can point some poor NJ Citizens in the right direction on how to take city hall to court!!!!
