“It’s a fraudulent charge and the plaintiff is entitled to damages.”
They can simply refuse to pay and see if Hertz sues them, if they are right on the facts Hertz will find the other guy who ran the red light and bill the right person. I had Sixt try to tell me I drove 5,000 kilometers in France but I had pictures everywhere I went, I drove only 800 km. I never paid, they gave up.

But they probably banned you from ever renting from Hertz again, right? Too bad, so sad.

This should be simple enough to solve with a letter or email or two. It's essential to document everything. I don't know the purpose of a lawsuit unless there are significant costs incurred or if this ends up impacting a credit report. "Inconvenience" usually doesn't amount to anything significant.
