I was charged, pled guilty and was convicted with a DUI in British Coulmbia, Canada in the summer of 1999. I paid my federal fine, but was also charged a penlaty fee of about $1000 by ICBC. I had to pay $100 of this fine at that time to get a temporary license issued.

Since, I have moved to Ontario. I got a call yesterday from a person saying they were from ICBC looking for me, I was not home, my girlfriend answered and said that they must have the wrong number (they likely know that they don't).

In 1999, I happened to have an Alberta license as well as my BC one. (I had been working in Alberta and upon returning to BC they never asked me to turn in my Alberta license before issuing me a BC one.) When I moved to Ontario I had to get an Ontario license, not wanting the DUI to follow me for insurance reasons I never mentioned that I had ever been licensed or insured in BC, I just traded in my Alberta license and got an Ontario one. I also got insurance here in ontario and never had the conviction show up.

It's been almost 8 years that I have had this ICBC debt. I'm wondering if there is a statute of limitations regarding repayment. But more importantly, if I do continue to evade repayment will ICBC have any recourse to interfere with my current lisencing and insurance. If this is the case and they can give information to Ontaro Ministry of Transportation, or my insurance company, than I'd rather settle the debt quick before anyone in Ontario finds out about the DUI.

Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to get a legal pardoned for my DUI, thereby removing it from the conviction records that the MTO would search, and if so, what is the process for applying for a pardon.

Thanks,
Huckleberry

Just settle the debit quick if you can afford it and GET RID OF IT.

Give me a break, there are a lot of honest people in canada paying fines and you say you have a DUI and want it expunged. I wouldn't begin to tell you how to do that. You will never, ever get a legal pardon for a DUI.

In fact, I hope you get your licences taking off you so you can't drive again in any Province.

I live in Ontario. I read too much and have seen too much caused by drivers under the influence ever to let anyone like you off scott free. Anyone who has CPR as I do, and attended one too many road fatalities caused by DUIs would ever want to see you driving again.

So think about it.

ICBC only can collect bills inside the province of BC, they probely sold you dept to a collection agent. There will be no problem getting rid of them. Your DUI is long gone I wouldn't worry about it..

Your knowledge of B.C. Law seems to match your ability to spell. ICBC does not sell debt to collection agencies. ICBC has in house debt collectors.

No SOL but the fine will accumulate and follow you wherever you go until you pay it.
