Dean, congratulations..the good news is you got your plates. I lived in Ill. several years ago and at that time when you bought plates, you were instructed to make your check out to the guy (can't remember his name) that was the state Treas. (ie in his name only) which I told my Wife seemed rather strange. What was to stop him from cashing the checks personnaly? You guessed it, about two years later he took off with his new girl friend and they found shoe boxes full of cash in his closet. Sorry you had all the pain. Hope I have better luck in NC.
