What do I do if I've been wrongfully charged in a car crash that I nor my car was in?

I received a notice from the Bureau of Financial Responsibility that I need to pay for damages in a car crash that took play on May 14, 2007. The car info (i.e., VIN, tag, make & model) are correct, but it wasn't my car. The crash took place in Tampa, FL. I live on the east coast of Florida in Martin County. Neither I nor my car was involved in this crash. The crash report lists another person as the driver, whom I've never met, but since the crash report gives my tag and car information, the Bureau says I'm responsible!

I'm trying to sort out this mess, but the Bureau, the High Patrol office in Tampa and some other gov offices don't have a procedure and seemingly don't know how to help. It's sort of "Too bad, but we don't make mistakes" or a "Can't help you there. It's your info so that makes you guilty" attitude. I've called the trooper leaving messages. I'm still waiting.

Does anyone know what or who I can go to regarding this? Has this happened to anyone before?



Answer
They obviously got your tag mixed up with the real driver's tag. I would contact the traffic supervisor for the patrol and straighten it out with him.

813/632-6859...ask for a supervisor. If you do not get anywhere, call the local news

Do you know if there is any way you can find out a License plate number for a vehicle if you have no info?

Other than the year, we have an idea of the license plate number but not sure. I mean is there some kind of website I can go to to find out vehicle info, have no VIN nothing.
See what happened is that our car was stolen 3 days ago and we still haven't reported it because we don't know the license plate and it was registered to someone else also registered in OREGON state. All the paperwork for some dumb reason were in the car. Old classic car.



Answer
Help me understand this: your car was stolen, and you haven't reported it stolen to the police; also, you don't know enough about your car to give a good description?

Wow.

Hope it's not used in the commission of a felony later today.
