72-hour rule/10-day rule?

Maybe at first but not in the end. Right of refusal never ends as remedy ALWAYS exists in their system of consent/non-consent. "Nunc Pro Tunc" can be quite effective.

"Timely fashion" merely reduces the amount of extra effort that could be required in order to achieve satisfaction. For most matters a date is given which is to be observed if a default is not desirable. For traffic tickets this is the court date stated on the citation; Respond before or on this date at the addresses provided by either mail or in person. If replying by mail and you have waited and ended up with a post mark on the court date, be ready to deal with the computer/clerk's reaction as if you defaulted even though you were lawfully timely. Many times a letter or three can clear the matter up. In a worse case scenario there is always the option to learn some basic court procedure and attend a hearing or begin to issue Cease and Desist notices charging them for your time and effort. If they still have the gall to pursue the matter an administrative default may be obtained against them including damages. Enforcement of the default may be sought with a Show Cause hearing.
