Dealing with PennDOT is not pleasant. It is a huge bureacracy that acts as if it does not care about the people is serves. Stepping of my soapbox for a moment, I'll say that I'm sorry you're having this problem.
Have you confirmed that you've paid for the citation AND paid the fee to renew your registration? You can pay these on-line and do not have to make payments via check and in the mail.
If you received a notice of license suspension letter from PennDOT, you have the right to appeal the suspension. You should follow the appeal instructions explicitly in the letter. that will buy you some time to try and find a solution to your problem.
You should also call your local state legislator for assistance. They can't change the law but they can get someone at PennDOT to at least look into your situation and perhaps offer some help.
You can also retain an attorney. That person can also deciper your situation and identify possible solutions. There will be some expense but it may very well be worth it if you can avoid a lengthly suspension and the associated problems of getting to work, etc. Attorneys experienced in PennDOT matters sometimes have ways of getting things done. I work with a great attorney -- Vern Parkinson. I'd highly recommend him.
