I've taken the class 6 times. 3 times when I was younger and into street racing, 1 retake because I "fell asleep" (according to the proctor), and twice because of a fuck show error like yours. The suspensions and being assigned the class are automatic. As far as I can tell from the nightmare I went through the last time, there's zero avenues to appeal it. Maybe you could get a lawyer and sue the state about it, but good luck with that.
The class sucks. It's a glorious waste of time and they run them with an iron fist. I've seen people be thrown out without warning for "having an attitude", blinking too long, going to the bathroom too many times, coming back from lunch 2 minutes late.. it's actually insane.
I don't envy you. But you're likely going to have to take them all. Also if someone runs your plates either manually, or with an automatic scanner, and they see it's registered to someone with a suspended license, they'll pull you over. Just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about how long you can roll the dice and keep driving.

Yeah, I’m not trying to roll the dice at all. Especially when I have to drive in mass while working, or even down to Logan to fly out for work. The only reason I’m not considering litigation is time. That shit could take forever. I also think I may have screwed myself on what I thought was the final say in the matter. When Newburyport superior court told me I could just repay all the fines and they would issue me documentation that the matter was settled I essentially traded the misdemeanor driving on a suspended for admitting to moving violations. Even though one violation was for the lack of an inspection window sticker(didn’t need one on a vehicle registered in CT) and the other was for rolling through a stop sign(when the cop in Amesbury pulled me over he flat out admitted it was a made up violation as he thought I was driving a vehicle suspected of being stolen and he needed a reason to pull the vehicle over(he seemed genuinely upset and apologetic as he was arresting me for the license suspension issue when he was just looking for a thief)). So by taking that deal I didn’t consider they would leave those “moving violations” on my record despite them not being valid motor vehicle stops. I think once I paid those final fines to “settle” the matter I unknowingly and stupidly admitted to the infractions. I’m not sure there’d be any technicalities I could hit the state with because of that, despite my impeccable record keeping. The classes also put a time strain on me. I’m irreplaceable at my job and I just took my first vacation in nearly a decade for 3 weeks in Europe and it put crazy strain on the business. I only have a single weekend off there scheduled between now and October. In between a rock and a hard place right now. Blows lol
