Checking on my girlfriends apartment while she's out of town. I have her parking pass at the moment, just in case in the short periods of time I'm there the CPA comes through.

I received a "Parking Infraction Notice" from a company I've never heard of called Target Park Enforcement INC. The reason for the ticket states "Please park in undergound only. Parked in customer area." Fine amount $65.00

Issues with that: This wasn't a customer area, no signs indicate such, and I even checked with the buildings rental office staff who confirmed this for me. My truck also doesn't fit in the underground parking area, it only has a 6 foot clearance. I noticed all other vehicles around me had similar notices on their wipers as well.

My question isn't whether or not I should pay the ticket, I'm definitely not. I'm just curious how these sham companies stay in business? They don't even have a dispute email or phone # on the notice. This is almost shadier than ezcarsandtrucks.com. How do these crooks stay in business?

Any ticket other than CPS or CPS get Monopoly money. And they usually get less than the ticket says too.
