Can I contest an extension on an ignition interlock installation if monthly reports were not made?
I was ordered to have a breathalyzer for 12 months. I had it installed in my car a year ago. Upon taking it out I was contacted by the interlock provider stating it had been removed 5 days early. My license suspended. DMV told me that they had never received my monthly reports from the provider and that I would have to get a 12 month extension. I feel that the itnerlock company committed fraud against me by falsely claiming they were reporting monthly. What can I do?

If the interlock provider for your motor vehicle was not in fact reporting monthly to you state's department of motor vehicles when it stated that it was, you should advise your state's department of motor vehicles about this false representation by this company.
The interlock provider was to provide as service to you directly to a governmental entity and failed to do so. I would also report this provider to your state's attrorney general's department as well. If you were being misled, most likely many other people were being misled as well.
