IMPARK - do you pay your tickets?
 

over the last 10 years, I've had about 3 and I've never paid them. i get the letters from them for about 3 months and then they stop. i just got one on the weekend and having second thoughts. i've heard that they actually don't have a legal right to claim money from us.
i do pay city fines but not impark or any private company.

Thoughts?

get ready for mass fails

!

how come they dun have legal rights to claim money from you?? u are using their space to park, therefore pay your damn tickets. Unless you did pay your ticket and somehow didn't display your ticket correctly. Then just mail your ticket and receipt back to them.

Don't they tow your vehicle after x amount of unpaid tickets?

Change your plates. Problem solved.

REVSCENE - Do you use the search function?

Guess not

OP, try to do some searching but I'll sum it for you in a nutshell.

The tickets don't affect your credit rating and they'll just hire collection companies to keep calling you / bugging you. Easy solution is change your plates, if you don't and they punch your plate into the computer, they'll get somebody to tow your car.

When they call you, I guess say that individual is not here, and you've always had this number.

I once talked to an exec that worked at Impark.

He said the collection agency they use is a subsidiary of Impark.

Pretty much you don't have to pay it.

Yes I pay my tickets because I am a staunch believer that whens someone does something wrong, he/she has to be responsible and thus pay the consequences.

Does anyone know off hand how many tickets it takes for them to tow you car?

faggot

It takes just one. If you don't pay and they catch you on there lots, GG

In that case, I'll be getting new plates tomorrow. Thanks!

Give me the cash and your tickets and i'll pay them for you. I'm a trained lawyer person. I took the BAR at a bar.

Seriously, Cash only, Royal Oak skytrain, i'll be in the 5 min parking lot in a 3-piece suit. :nicethread:

This would solve your front plate problem
For the back the following can be modded so that the rods arent visible and made to have a fake plate in the back
Seeing how these parking companies are private companies on private lots, I dont think the law can punish you as long as the fake plates arent stamped British Columbia and that you reveal your real plates once you are on the road.

Arash, do you fabricate these mechanism yourself? I would like to buy some for myself and maybe even arrange a RS group buy.

Let me know.

be cool and bring a spare set of plates

Thanks for suggestion, thats actually a pretty cool plate flipper.

I believe those are illegal to use on public roads and anything except a gated off driveway/lot is considered public so that would be a big ticket if a cop noticed it, and since cars on a public roads require visible plates the company could tow it for that reason alone. Besides, new plates are cheap.

Since its a private lot I doubt it would technically be illegal to have fake plates inside them, like a car dealership lot, most of the cars are not plated.

I dont make them but it looks easy to make, you just need springs, rails and a motor wired up to a button inside the car. They sell the front ones at swiftmotorsports.com

These are cool toys but are people really serious about investing all the time and effort to install these things to save 3 bux on parking? :D

Nice user name

I may consider fake plates in the future specially because it can be used in other situations if needed

Now however one makes the real plates disappear, the fake plate could be encased behind a plastic window with the plate sliced in many places to that you can rearrange it for different names.

Parking in downtown can quickly add up!

With fake plates on your car what happens when a cop driving around running plates, runs your fake plate with no insurance sticker that isn't registered to your car?

I think you are missing the point Arash...

Fake/altering plates - illegal
Not paying your ticket/get new plates - legal

Having a personalized plate (not technically fake if it isnt labeled British Columbia with a logo) in someones property is illegal?

And also not altering actual British Columbia plates is legal, you can order plates from online stores located in the states.

Lastly are you going to buy new plates every time you rack up $200 worth of dt tickets?

You revert to your real plates as you are leaving the lot.

an uninsured car gives them a better excuse to tow it away. Its a liability. Unlike dealerships, the car is not theirs and it is on their property.
