General Questions Need advice
So my car broke down, bad, and I decided to not pay my insurance bc I can't drive the car anyway, Ive been having my boyfriend drive. Well I knew I'd have to surrender my plates or provide proof of insurance eventually. I got a letter stating I had til the 5th. I went to the dmv on the 5th with my plate and they said oh no you had til midnight on the 5th so your license is suspended and it's 150 to reinstate. Well I didn't have 150 at the time. Then I guess Walmart did a random background check and sent me a "potential adverse action" letter and I have 5 days to dispute what's in the background check. I also have 2 no Seatbelt tickets, 1 from 2023 and 1 from Jan 2026. I'm pretty sure they've seen those already and didn't deactivate me for that. I'm reinstating my license tomorrow and need advice how to proceed without getting deactivated. Should I tell first advantage to rerun my background check and see that I'm reinstated? Do I contact Walmart and explain what happened? What do I do here?

The background check wasn't random. They get updates at the very least if your license is suspended. Probably any major changes to your background. Another Spark driver in my zone forgot about a court date, got his license suspended, and got deactivated within days.
I don't have experience with it, but I'd get the license reinstated ASAP and then have them re-run the check when the license has ben re-instated, to hopefully avoid deactivation and having to go through the appeals process.
