Actually no the ticket was never paid. So I would have to make that right as well, if I can. I don’t even know how to do that at this point. I don’t think I can pay the city, I would have to pay Hertz the cost of the ticket and any associated fees.

At the time I felt that it was a fair response to their refusal to properly deal with me after renting me a car with serious mechanical problems.

But after 8 years I’m willing to accept that I probably no longer have any leverage over them to negotiate anything because of that very negative experience (if I ever had any “leverage” to begin with.)

So my best option would be to see what it would cost to resolve that issue at this point, if it’s possible, and whether they would then consider removing me from the DNR.

I’m guessing the same advice to write them a short letter would still apply? If so, where exactly do I write them? Is there a specific customer service email to use? Or a particular address to mail a letter? I’m assuming mailing a letter is more appropriate in this instance.

Thanks again.
