My credit union keeps downloadable PDFs of my checks online where I can privately access them for a good length of time. I've had it come in handy when somebody disputed as to whether I'd paid a bill.

I think you're right, Suzi, that it's simpler just to pay the damn bill, because the amount of time you'd spend on it otherwise is going to be a big enough time suck.

At least you found out this way, and not in the midst of being pulled over or something.

That's the truth.

Access to old records is one reason I've never changed banks, even though I don't like my bank much. They have all of my info!

Wrod. I'd love to be all Occupy and "Move my money," but is too much.

Bad adult, bad.

Untrue. The DMV is going to squeeze money out of anyone possible, whenever possible. Why weren't you sent a letter about this four years ago if it dates back that far? I would be willing to bet they let it go as long as possible so no one fights it, and just pays the fees to make it go away.

You're an awesome adult, lady.

It's a racket.

I think the DMV may be the Platonic ideal of "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence," though.

You're probably right, but there's so much red tape involved, I can't imagine someone wasn't asking Crowley to pitch in.

Oh my god husband wants to plan to drive a giant U-haul to Texas. I won't make it there alive.

He can drive. You can go spend a week in sunny Miami drinking foofy drinks, then meet him there after he has unpacked.
