| 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?

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?

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.

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.  | |

Let me know.

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. Quote:

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. Quote:

Let me know. | 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  | |

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!

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? Quote:

Its a liability. Unlike dealerships, the car is not theirs and it is on their property.
