Looked damn good, I should bring this to EU ;-)

I was wondering that since this is some sort of legal/lawyer page/blog, is there anything we can do to stop pt.com from causing any more damage? I even came across a post by a former employer of pt.com that said himself the founder of pt.com “doesn’t care at all about the customers” and “it’s pure luck if you get dismissed” and “the boss spends all his time with a few execs. coming up with ways to make more money”.

So is there anything that can be done to stop this lunatic??

Why?

Because I never received anything from the city notifying me that I was guilty, nor an email from parkingticket.com notifying me of this fact.

So now I have a ticket with 2 years worth of late fees, God only know how much that is, because for 2 years I thought the ticket had been dismissed

The form to fill out your ticket info is restricting making it very hard to fill it out EXACTLY as it appears on the ticket.

Their CS just gives you the run around and no REAL answers.

I have a pretty strong feeling that this website is one man at a computer who prints up the terms and conditions and sends that out as every reply.

This site is more of a scam than the parking/traffic department. At least with them my money is going into my city’s system and not to some scam artist.

I was also “ripped off” by parkingticket.com. I was dropping someone off (yes, parked at a fire hydrant) but returned to the car before the cop had finished writing the ticket; he blocked me in so I couldn’t get away, then dumped the ticket through my window; the law says that if you are present, the ticket must be formally served in person. However, parkingticket.com failed to get my case dismissed (so I paid the $130 fine) AND refused to make a refund when my appeal was ignored. They are not heroes, they are cynically and amorally exploiting the anger of regular drivers.

I don’t like parking tickets. They are not good for society. Some people park at Fire Hyrdants and then try to get off.

But there are so many tickets being issued improperly that anybody who fights them for a living should be considered nobel prize winning material.

But there are always two sides to a story. The Cities want money. People want convenience.

Hey Dan, were you parked at a FIRE HYDRANT and then tried to beat your ticket or was your ticket issued unfairly to you?

I used parkingticket.com.
I want the public to be aware that their so-called “refund guarantee” has a loophole which they can slither through. They insist that you request a refund within 30 days of the appeal decision. Most people will never, EVER see their appeal decision within 30 days. I received mine approximately 90 days after the decision was rendered. PT.com insists that I didn’t follow the guidelines, even though everything was done by the book, and therefore am not entitled to a refund.

In a nutshell: Use them if you’re in the mood to get ripped off!
