Last September, I pulled into a rest stop outside Springfield, IL. Someone knocked on my door and it was the Illinois Dept. of Revenue. He said that I was in violation of operating a commercial motor vehicle in Illinois without the appropriate credentials (IFTA license). He stated that I had three axles and Montana license plates on my coach, Florida tag on my car. Because of the Montana LLC on the coach, it was treated as a commercial vehicle and needed to display the IFTA decal on my coach just like semi trucks.
He wrote me a ticket and after returning home, I had a ticket in the mail for $1000.00 dollars. I have protested this with them and they have refused to change their position or accept a lesser amount. They have now turned me over to a collection agency to try and collect the amount.
Has anyone had this happen to them or any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
