Are private parking 'citations' enforceable?

Parking 'citations' issued in some private lots in Niagara Falls have sparked some questions. Pat Taney reports.

Throw it out and forget about it.

Yes...with threats of towing...I worked for Impark..fight your ticket..YOU WILL ALWAYS WIN..

One of my colleagues at my program told me her mom had this happen to her. Her mom is 74 and only has a 4G flip phone. Her mom got something that looked like a ticket in the mail and called her. Her mom was like, "I didn't see anywhere to pay or I would have paid with cash or my debit card." Her mom was afraid of her car getting booted in her driveway or her car getting towed.

They’re not enforceable by law. However I believe they can take you to small claims court.

[@Darksyne]

for $100? good luck lol

[@kylepasta]

It costs $100 just to file the fee, let alone the cost to hire a lawyer

I suggest automatically towing away those freedumb flag bearing graffiti riddled vehicles.

looks like NEO is broke again...

Let it go dude!!

[@billboggs6641]

Yes you must pay them. And by the way, you are going to jail for not paying your taxes ( according to some guy in Mumbai )

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ddpwe5269]

Yeah, right, why get the city to do the ticketing, when these companies take the money themselves instead? That would be a massive loss to them from those who do pay the tickets and not a great business model =P

[@goylanddefree80]

You'd be pretty dumb to actually pay those unless it's a company like impark which will actually go through the trouble of calling the credit bureau for unpaid ticket

[@ddpwe5269]

meh, then you get to pay way less than what they're charging, which is WAY more than what the city charges to begin with.

[@hassanelgharbimasc.4192]

I got a ticket from ImPark. What heppen if I don't choose to pay it buddy? Will this impact my credit rating? I just wanted to go to the court but it seems there is no court on that?

[@goylanddefree80]

@hassanelgharbimasc.4192 I'd just pay it because they are known to go to credit bureau

[@JohnnyLawrence293]

they cannot send these to a collection agency, they do not go against your credit. they are not enforceable. you just run the risk of being towed if you continue to not pay in their lots. @@hassanelgharbimasc.4192

[@DAndyLord]

@@hassanelgharbimasc.4192 They'd have to go to court and get a judgement against you before it'd affect your credit. They won't do that.
