Clear FTA (Failure to Appear in Court) from my record
<p>Went to the DMV to renew my driving license and I found it was canceled due to a Failure to Appear in court and Failure to Pay a fine that was imposed to me for scratching a car while parking three years ago.</p>
<p>I wasn't even aware of it because I changed cities in the meantime, and I probably received these documents in my previous address.</p>
<p>The ticket given to me in the DMV contains virtually zero information on how to proceed in this case. I am currently residing in San Francisco but the ticket is from Los Angeles. Is there any way I can solve the issue locally or should I fly back to talk with the clerk of the address written in the FTA ticket?</p>

<p>I don't know the situation in L.A., but most courthouses I've dealt with will allow you to just pay the fine online and be done with it.</p>
