| Diamond Parking ticket turns into Collection
So i got a Diamond Parking ticket and i just ignored it, was going to get my plate replaced based onthe advice i got on RS.
now that was on august 10, 2008
now i get a collections letter from Wiggins Adjustment LTD.
now they claim i owe DP $99.16 and the infractions date of occurence was August 10, 1924.
can i just throw this in the garbage? my grandma wasn't even born yet.

i'm always tempted to ignore them but I dont want something to minor to get me when I least expect it... my honest opnion is just pay it off... call them and give them some bullshit story then they will simply revert the fine back to the original price without all the interest added on it and simply pay that off.

you know... I think it would... it's not that hard to use your plate to get ur info then blacklisting your name. Honestly, that $100 will save you much more in the long run. Then again it seems like alot of people here simply disregard it and it seems to be doing them just fine... so umm your call.

pay your ticket.
Their office is in langley on 200th i think.
If you don't pay, you will get a credit history.

im guessing this is your first time ever to get a parking tix and not pay it? LOL
of course you get letters, calls, and all that bs. ignore it. they can't make you pay anything and they can't do anything to you. please don't get scam by these stupid companies.
I never paid any parking tix, and yeah i got 10+ for sure.
calls and letters will stop after a few months. no biggie.
**only parking tickets you need to pay is the ones issued by the city/government/cop.**

dont worry about it, if they phone you, ask to speak to their manager and tell him to go fuck his hat
ive gotten a handful of parking tickets while im in van, since im from kelowna i dont even need to worry about not parking in their shitty lots anymore. and i just got a loan and there isnt anything atall about not paying any parking tickets in my history
after i told the manager at wiggins to piss off and stop calling me they never bothered even to send me another letter

Rumor has it they will just tow you instead of ticketing you if they see your spot to have expired, and even if you could somehow retrieve or waive the towing fee it is more of a pain in the ass than 3-4 bucks is worth.
