The Court Management Service (CMS) is seeking to address complaints by motorists who were fined in court but are still listed in the Traffic Ticket Management System (TTMS) as having outstanding tickets.
This follows last week’s investigative story by the Freedom Come Rain Newspaper, which shared the stories of disgruntled motorists who indicated that they had paid their fines but were still deemed to be delinquent because the system showed they had outstanding tickets.
“The judiciary understands that this is causing significant inconvenience to persons who have genuinely paid their fines and is committing to working with these individuals to have the issue rectified within the shortest possible time, once the information is brought to our attention,” the CMS said.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AFFECTED MOTORISTS
1. Persons still in possession of receipts – persons who are still in possession of their receipts are asked to send copies of those receipts to customerservice@cad.gov.jm. The information on the receipt will go through a verification process and upon satisfactory completion of same, the TTMS will be updated to reflect the payment, with an indication that the matter was disposed of.
2. Persons not in possession of receipts – persons who are no longer in possession of their receipts are asked to email their names, TRNs, and where available, the month and year the ticket was paid for. Internal checks will be made and once the information is found, the TTMS will be updated to reflect same.
Persons may also contact the Court Administration Division at 876-754-8337 for additional information on this matter.
