Imperial Parking Canada Corporation ripoff Get fined while looking for change in the car parked for less than 1 minute, Never received ticket, Just received a Final Notice of Collection Vancouver British Columbia
Dear Sir/Madam,
On Feb 15th 2005, I received a letter dated Feb 11th 2005 from Impark requesting me to pay $69.55 because I did not pay my violation ticket which I never received.
The incident:
On Dec 16th, I pull over on Impark location 1012 Robson Street. My brother was on the front passenger side. I noticed there's an Indian impark attendant on bike there. I got out of my car. The attendant asked if I'm going to pay. I replied yes and told him that I am just going to my back seat to look for change in my jacket. The attendant was still there waiting for me.
After 30 seconds, I realized that I didn't have the change, I drove my car and parked it at the "Passenger Only" zone. My brother was inside the front passenger seat all the time. I guess the attendant was dissatisfied that he waited for nothing and rode his bike to my car at the "Passenger Only" zone and wrote down something.
I never received any ticket until Feb 15th when I got this letter stating that I didn't pay for my first ticket (which I never received). I called Impark and talked to the manager Emily Drake (Feb 15th, 1:40pm). She said as long as I occupied the parking space even after 30 seconds of looking for change, I have to pay. She also mentioned that a ticket was never issued as the attendant wanted to aviod any confrontation.
I just felt that it's unfair for people who was parked for 1 minute looking for change to pay but couldn't find any change.
Please let me know my right in this situation. Thanks and best regard.

You dont have to pay

This is really really easy. Fist off, there is nothing that they can do. They can not put it on your credit report nor can they stop you from renewing your licence or insurance. They can however send it to a collection agency. You still dont have to pay; just send the agency a cease and desist letter and they will not bother you again!
