This happened to a friend of mine, however he was quick to go to the courthouse and fill out the paperwork and was told there would be a hearing.
and they would contact him with the paperwork.
2 weeks into his 30 days, he called in as he had not gotten anything in the mail, only to get the runaround, He went to the courthouse and finds that they had 'lost' his paperwork. He filled it all out again then demanded reciepts and copies with the courts signature.
They refused
He was in the midst of a tirade and was not leaving the court office till they gave him recipts and copies (and by now demanding they give him a court date) that a lawyer from another case of this type happened to be walking by and took pity on him. and like magic the lawyer quoted some statute and demanded they comply or face a lawsuit (with him as him as a witness) that they finally relented and gave him the signed (stamped) paperwork that that had recieved it.
The woman at the desk growled something like ' almost got you fucker'
Yeah, it is THAT bad.
