I paid my ticket, why did I get a notice in the mail from the State of Georgia fining me $200. If the Department of Driver’s Services receives notification of your conviction for speeding at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or highway, or at 85 mph and above on any road or highway in the State of Georgia, you will be notified by first class mail of the $200 Super Speeder fee. This is in addition to the fine you have already paid to the issuing city or county. Government Window does not process payments for Super Speeder fines.
Why am I required to complete an authorization form for over the limit or passed the court date fines? We as a company require completion of authorization forms to deter fraud. This is done to protect our customers and our company from financial theft.
I received a decline or void error while making my payment. My financial institution is now showing one or more attempted transactions pending. What do I do? If you received a decline or void at any time during the attempted payment, your financial institution may show a pending transaction. If you did not receive a confirmation number, the transaction was not successful. To inquire about any funds being held in a pending status, the cardholder should contact their financial institution. They should be able to give an estimated timeline of when the funds will be released.
