MVC Surcharges

The only purpose of this blog is to help people beat NJ MVC Surcharge penalties. Not the imposed Surcharges by the judge you plead guilty in front of. The penalties that arise when you cannot pay the orginal imposed surcharge. I hope NJ Legislators sometime hear and pass the below bill:

STATEMENT

This bill would authorize the State Treasurer to periodically establish a motor vehicle surcharge amnesty period. The bill affords individuals who owe certain outstanding surcharges imposed under the New Jersey Merit Rating Plan an amnesty period during which those surcharges may be paid without interest or collection costs.
This bill was introduced at the recommendation of the Motor Vehicles Affordability and Fairness Task Force.

Day after Christmas and nothing done. No big deal. Soon as I get a phone I'm calling the NJ MVC judgement people and find what court the certificate of complaint was filed with. I want a copy of this complaint!!!! The imposed surcharge is $1072 or something like that and another $1500 in penalties. No way!!!! How did they amend the penalties I got from the various courts throughout NJ? And why was I not a party to any defense what-so-ever. I will re-visit each court, claim in-effectual counsel, and get new hearings/trials. Jury trials that is. With life long penalties such as this I WANT A JURY. The war is on!!!! Death do us proud!!!

Certificate of Debt

Still doing nothing. Getting rid of this added fees such as interest and collection costs are very possible. I live in Boston and have to physically travel to Trenton NJ. Something I do not want to do. To that end I have to get to Mercer County Superior Court and get a copy of the complaint aka Certificate of Dept. Then I just have to file a motion to "vacate the certificate of dept" and then I will pay the principle on this imposed surcharge.

Anybody out there reading this?

I can do this.
