My car had to be registered today in the LTO but it couldn't because according to them, my car was involved in an outstanding traffic violation that is still unresolved. The charges were dirty license plates and broken headlights.

So they wouldn't register the car and they showed us the ticket, it had someone's name we never heard before, but the license plate of the vehicle checks out as ours, and they told us to go from Makati LTO to the LTO branch in QC near Cubao. So I went with my dad because the car was registered under his name, and when we arrived the people in charge told us to go to the LTO's main branch in East Ave.

After numerous lines and people telling us go to different windows and a fixer telling us he is a liaison officer (he had no official gov't ID whatsoever), we got to the bottom of things: The guy encoding traffic violations mistakenly pressed the wrong key inputting my car's plate number instead of the actual vehicle involved in that incident.

All that trouble because of a single keystroke mistake. We had to travel to three different LTO stations in the metro to get to the bottom of things.
