Hi all im new on here any advise please, I was spopped by the guardia driving home from a local restuarant in Jan 2010, I had gone out taking a new handbag and had not transfered my documents to my new handbag, so was in trouble already for not carrying my documents, the police run a check on my car and advised that I didnt have insurance, I tried to explain that I did in my best Spanish ( which is very limited ) as I had taken out insurance with La linia in September when I bought the car, I didnt here anything further so thought that was it, on returning to Spain in April after a short trip to the uk I picked up a recorded delivery letter which I had to pick up in Estepona I recieved 2 DEenuncias 1 for 150 euros and 1 for 1500 euros I asked around a few people that I know that understand some spanish that I had 10 days from the date of the letter to go to trafico in Malaga to sort out the problem, but this had lapsed, on checking my documents I found that on the insurance policy La linea had the wrong details for my car reg it was a diget out the 3 was a 0 on the policy which explained why it wasnt showing on the police checks, I contacted La linea about this and they reissued the documents with the correct information, I took all of this to a Gestoria in Fuengirola who I used for the purchase of my car, but again I speak little Spainish and the Gestoria speaks no english, they did a letter gave me a copy of it and charged me 23 euros, Last week I again recieved a recorded delivery letter to collect in Estepona, when I went to collect this it had been returned to sender as 7 days had lapsed the guy behind the counter said it was from trafico because of the ref on it, I spoke to a girl that I know who speaks spanish, she said not to worry as they normaly resend 3 times I left it a few days and then she called the trafico for me, she advised me that they no longer resend and I would n eed to go to Malaga early in the morning and get a ticket and wait to seesomeone, but thinks that they only speak spanish so I may need to find a translator who would go with me, early and be able to sit around and wait to be seen, I dont know any translators, I dont know where in Malaga I need to go, I only drive around my local area and would be terified of having to go into malaga, anyone with any advise Please
