just come up with some BS story to appeal the ticket first.

Luckily every time I have gotten a ticket, I have been able to get away with it.

Impark:

I called them, and told them their machines were completely f'ed up. Ticket Cancelled.

DPS:

Got a ticket for walking off their lot. Saw the ticket, went to a store in their lot after the ticket was issued, bought something. Said I waited in line for a while! Then contacted them, appealed, and cancelled.

Rather than ignore, everything should try to appeal first. You will be surprised how much they will reduce the fee's or even cancel.

To: appeals@diamondparking.com

To whom it may concern,

This email is in regards to ticket #51497261 which I received tonight at lot #4235. I was ticketed for being parked in two stalls when in fact one tire was barely crossing the line on one side of the stall. The vehicle in the stall to my immediate right had both tires well into my space and I drive a large truck, so in order to even park I had to move over to make it in the spot. There was already another vehicle parked to my immediate left so I was not impeding anyone from parking let alone using two stalls. Being ticketed $78.40 for this is absolutely ridiculous and as a matter of principle this fine will NEVER be paid no matter how hard a collection agency tries.

Additionally, your officer(s) who patrol lot #4235 have ticketed me twice in the Fitness World parking lot for not having a parking pass when it has very clearly been displayed on my front drivers side like every other vehicle that uses that facility. I don't know if they're just too short to see it or too incompetent to do their job correctly but please tell them to get a grip.

-----------------------

Hi,

Please be advised the notice has been voided as a courtesy. In the future if a notice of this nature were to be issued again we would not be prepared to cancel it.

Regards,
Shelley H

Sorry to bump this thread but I have a specific question that you guys might have the answer to.

If I receive a ticket and on the same day change my plate number will the collections agency be able to find me a few months after?

So when they call icbc will icbc tell them that on that day this plate was registered to so and so or will icbc say that there is no info for that plate number thus avoiding collections entirely?

Or is changing plate numbers only to avoid being towed?

Thanks.

changing plates only avoids getting towed. your credit doesn't get affected even if it's sent to collections. this only applies to private parking btw.

I got a violation notice from Royal Parking Services. This was three months ago when I parked in one of the couple spaces in the Chinese Mega Bank, next to the Moore's right near Richmond Centre, and I had to take a quick run to go somewhere else. I was gone for less than 5 minutes and lo and behold there's a ticket; wasn't worried about it so I tore it in pieces and drove off

Just today I got a letter in the mail from Royal Parking Services stating about the time I didn't pay for that violation notice.
Quote:
Failure of making the payment may result in your vehicle being towed and/or impounded at your expense or further pursued in provincial court
They listed my license plate, but since then I've changed it because I made some adjustments to my insurance. What's the chances of them taking me to court over eighty seven bucks, or do you think they'll just bugger off eventually?

I had a similar case and I had called them back asking which parking lot I was ticketed in and I informed them that the parking lot no longer exists. They waived it.

I'm not sure what they can do to your credit but I suggest either e-mailing them or calling them saying you never got the first notice and that you would pay the original ammount of the ticket if you want to cover your ass.

Maybe some others will chime in with even more escalated situations with diamond parking but from my understanding you're safe.

I actually appealed my ticket thru email and they cancelled it because it was my first time. But yeah they won't be able to affect your credit and they won't take you to court. There is no case in BC that involves private parking ticket collections - I checked.

Seriously what's the point of these parking companies taking over the small parking area?
Like Sushi Garden on Lougheed or TD on Canada Way and Boundary?

In the case of that TD, fuck over customers. Take over lot for busy bank parking, make 70% of it pay, write shit tickets all day.

Sort of off topic but by friend caught some meter nanny writing him a ticket but he still had 10 minutes remaining on the parking meter. So my friend quickly snapped a picture of the meter and of the guy writing the ticket, supposedly the parking guy said he was giving the other driver a ticket but there was only one meter, lol. When my friend told him he snapped pictures, the meter nanny decided to walk off, got back in his car and drove off. My friend is sending the pictures and a letter to the city.

Sushi garden? If so, that ticket guy just stands by the wall of Staples and watches everyone park. If you park in Staples space and walk to Churchs or Sushi garden, he walks up right away, takes a pic of your car and issues ticket. He's fast, he leans by the wall in his blue jacket with glasses and just waits for drivers to make a mistake.

so i just got my first collections letter from Wiggins. I'm assuming nothing will happen if i ignore it?

edit: it's not a collections letter, rather a notice of recommendation to file suit.

Could just be an empty threat.

Several years ago, my dad was being harassed by these wiggins goons, my dad told them to please file a suit and they could meet in court. They told my dad that they will not file a suit, but will just continue to harass with calls.

Eventually they gave up.

I'd also doubt they would file suit for something like 100-200, they loose money if they do.
