CBS13 has learned the dealership that sold the Acura, confused two Joyce Silva's. Acura of Pleasanton says it sold the car to Joyce F. Silva of Pleasanton, but registered it by mistake to Joyce S. Silva of Manteca who was in their database because she once bought a car from a neighboring Lexus dealership which shares a database.

The dealership says it fixed the problem in May, but Joyce was still on the hook for 18 tickets. The local CBS affiliate contacted the MTA who corrected the situation.
