I was arrested in 1999 for obstruction of an officer without force and in Sept. 2003 for failure to appear but I never received any court papers, while I was in jail my boyfriend had me locked up for burgulary. I only took my belongings out of our mobile home. I went today to have all charges expunged because all charges were dropped. Only to find out that I still have 2 open felonies. One for the burgulary that was dropped almost 7 years ago and a felony obstruction charge I didn't do. I haven't been able to get a job or go back to school because of it. I got a criminal background from the sheriff's office today it said all charges were dismissed but the clerk of court told me I had the 2 felonies still open. Someone isn't doing there job and it is costing me big time. Do I have a lawsuit against them for all of this? I need help how do I expunge my records if there are still open but are supposed to be closed? They were supposed to be closed almost 7 years ago. And where did the felony charge come from if I didn't do it?

You need to get an attorney to straighten this mess out for you.

You need to go to the court where the charges are suppose to be from and get a letter from the judge that there are no current charges, or have them state that the specific charge ( there will be a warrant or case number) has been resolved.
It is possible that one case was closed and another open
