That's such bs. They never gave you a ticket at the accident, then send you something later on saying it's overdue but don't tell you the "late" charge. Then come back 2 years later because the "late" charge has grown into a monster. If you never got anything showing what the surcharge was to pay and when it was due, I would fight that. Problem is, they will hold your license until you pay it so you wouldn't be able to drive(legally). In the end, the easiest thing to do is pay the surcharge and get your license back. But I would talk to them again to make sure they tell you the real amount you owe so they can't come back in 2 years and claim the same thing all over.
