Understanding Error Code F198

The error code F198 is often related to excessive fees posted during a transaction. It can be caused by various factors such as prior rollbacks, customer-posted fees, negative balances on deals, or overpayments on vehicles.

Excessive Fees Posted

If the error does not specify the amount of excessive fees, it may require intervention from SPU or DMV to address the issue. Unfortunately, if excessive fees were paid and processed through efile, there may be limitations in resolving this situation.

Negative Balance on Deal

Error code F198 indicating a negative balance on a deal will need to be sent to the DMV field office or SPU for processing and resolution.

Refund Due for Overpayment

In cases where an overpayment has occurred for a vehicle with VIN #076 resulting in error code F198, a refund process needs to be initiated through DMV or SPU to rectify the discrepancy.

Excess Fees Recorded

The F198 error in e-filing signifies an excess of recorded fees compared to the actual amount due, necessitating a refund. However, refunds cannot be issued directly by the system; hence submission for processing at SPU or DMV is required.

Steps to Address Error F198:

1. Contact our SPU team or visit a DMV field office for assistance in resolving this issue.
2. Analyze and identify specific details triggering the error (e.g., date of record) requiring involvement from our SPU team for initiating refunds.
3. Follow instructions provided by authorized personnel regarding next steps needed to clear errors and receive refunds accordingly.

Error F198 occurring during efile transactions like VIN 840 due to overposted fees can be resolved by submitting it to SPU. The Bureau of Public Administration cannot issue refunds directly but clearing errors through proper channels ensures resolution and potential refund issuance for excess fees posted during transactions.
