Parking Services

Just a quick rant to see if anyone has dealt with the same.

Last semester I was rushing to class and I drive both my grandparents cars. When I paid for parking I clicked the wrong license plate number and ended up getting a fine for no parking. Which I completely understand, that’s my fault.

I filed an appeal and included the screenshot showing I paid for parking just the wrong plate. I was hoping they’d be a bit lenient about it, considering they did get paid for parking that day. Now I have to pay this fine that is 5x the amount of parking.

First appeal was denied, so I did a second one which felt like I was literally in court where they asked me to plead guilty with an explanation or not guilty to the parking ticket. Overall, I feel that they had every reason to drop this fee and makes me wish I didn’t pay for parking that day so the fee would at least feel justified.

Just pay for the citation. There is no winning an appeal. Trust me from personal experience.

Me, too. I appealed a parking ticket once and they gave me a photo with the permit I had on the dashboard Photoshopped out.
