If you fail to appear on your traffic ticket or camera red light violation, eventually your matter will be passed from the court’s collection agency, Alliance One, and onto the Franchise Tax Board – lovely right?
The Franchise Tax Board is a state agency whose objective is to collect personal state income tax, business taxes, etc., and also court ordered debt. That is what you’ll have if you fail to appear or pay a fine you’ve incurred as a result of a traffic violation. Here’s a link to their website if you’re interested – http://www.ftb.ca.gov/index.shtml
Things to know if your traffic ticket is with the Franchise Tax Board.
- Your license may also be suspended. You should check immediately
- You can still fight your traffic ticket or red light camera violation
- You’re no longer eligible for traffic school and must get a dismissal or amendment to avoid the point on your DMV driving record
- Your fine and civil assessment may be taken from your taxes (All of it!).
- If your fine is taken from your taxes it will take forever to get your money back if you win.
