Unfortunately this does happen- along with all sorts of other mistakes.
I just got off the phone today with MCDCH regarding a citation my mom
received. She didnt hear anything from them since 3 months ago that she
mailed it in requesting a hearing. Guess what: today they tell me that
it (the citation) was sent to a different address and returned. Luckily
her court date was set for the 12th and I caught this before it got too
far out of hand.
Unless you have a copy of the citation as it was written (with "July 28"
clearly marked on it) I strongly suggest that your course of action right
now should be to cut your economic losses and pay the $25. Anything else
can potentially cost you more money unless you can provide proof of this
mistake because your next cheapest alternative would be to take off X
hours from work and drive out to some courthouse where you will be stuck
for a couple of hours arguing. Unfortunately when dealing in such
sitatuations right and wrong dont make a difference and you have to
minimize loss.
Either way, best of luck on this.
