How Can You Really Fight a Speeding Ticket?
If you have received a speeding ticket there are chances that you have felt dejected. Many you were going to work in a hurry or possible had to reach college in quick time and were speeding on the way. Irrespective of what the circumstances were a speeding ticket does not reflect well on your driving record. However at times the speeding ticket may be completely unwarranted and one can receive it for no fault of yours.
Say one day you were driving across a certain road and you loved the picturesque scenery all around while driving in your car completely lost in the pleasure of driving. Nothing bad, you did not cross the limit. In a week time you were given a ticket.
A "Ticket", yes a ticket none the less. At times authorities lack the vision and want you to pay for it. What will you do now? Are you up for paying it? Well you may go ahead and pay or may be you will not and fight.
Well these are only two options you can have. There are good chances are that you will end up in paying for it. However one must note that often courts do not pay much attentions to ticket that contains error of any sort for example, unregistered number, color, model of the car, or misspelled name on it. Generally people think it a wise step to pay rather than getting embroiled in legal hassles. But they forget that these are actually the shady means by which the government earns money. So how does one fight back?
• Know your rights. Ask the prosecution about the police report and the witnesses' testimonial. If they are not present then chances become stronger that you will be exempted from the fine.
• Present your side of the story in details and respectfully. If you are fined then choose the option of paying to the charity. This sometimes helps in lessening the amount of fine.
• If you are not satisfied, then appeal for the trial. In no circumstances court will let this happen.
If you have ever been affected from such an injustice, then you can take the professional help from Non governmental organizations (NGOs), which work especially for causes like this. These NGOs will listen to your grievances and provide the legal advice against such injustices. You might get to hear from persons of those organizations, who have faced what you are facing now. They do narrate their cases and the measures taken to prove the fault of Officers who wrongly ticketed them. Logically speaking, hiring an attorney for a wrong ticket will definitely cost you higher.
However you should not give in to the wrong tactics of the authority. There has been case when the people who even do not know to drive got the ticket. Can you imagine such thing happening to you? Strong possibilities are there. You can also surf the web to check the comments and opinion of the general public and professionals. Last but not the least; if wrong actions are not challenged they get perpetuated; so as honest citizens we should always strive to set system correct and ensure that innocents drivers are not victimized.

Should I Negotiate With a Collection Agency?
Unfortunately, I receive calls from clients who ask this question AFTER they have already begun negotiations with the collection agency. For the most part, as you might guess, I believe that the answer to this question is no.
We first have to take a look at what the collection agency is. There are generally two kinds of collection agencies: 1) Those that work as in-house collectors for a specific company or companies. Their goal is to recover the delinquent amounts due for their parent company; and 2) Those that purchase delinquent debt for the sole purpose of collecting funds for themselves at the highest rate possible.
Negotiation with a company that operates under foundation number 1 above may often be beneficial. It is very likely that the collection agency will have, or can get, all of the pertinent information that is necessary to prove a case against you in a court of law. In that scenario, negotiation may be beneficial as the case against you may be strong. Negotiation may truly be a way of saving yourself a decent amount of money.
Negotiation with a company that operates under foundation number 2 above is often a mistake. There are a number of reasons why I make that assertion so I will briefly explain a few of them.
The most important reason that I would not negotiate with one of those companies is that they very likely will not be able to prevail in a court of law against you unless you admit to all of their allegations. In my experience, I have found that the lawsuits filed by these agencies (among them are LVNV, Unifund, Palisades, Portfolio Recovery to name a few) are generally legally insufficient. They lack a number of required items, such as the signed contract, the monthly statements, the terms and conditions of the alleged account, and so on.
These lawsuits typically also fail to prove that the company actually has the right to sue you. While it is legal for a company to purchase an account and then file a lawsuit on that account, I have found that many of these agencies fail to include the documentation proving the sale of the account to them with the lawsuit. That failure makes the lawsuit fatally deficient, if you properly assert your rights thereunder.
The question that I pose to my clients is "why would you negotiate on a claim that is legally insufficient"? Obviously, every once in a while, these agencies do come up with all of the necessary information and do have a legally sufficient case against you. In that circumstance, I would submit that negotiation may be in the best interests of all concerned parties. Otherwise, my stance is to defend these claims to the fullest.
