Impark Ticket? Need to Pay?

[koopkoop2]

My friend got an impark ticket today. Does she need to pay? In the past, you could safely ignore them, but I remember talk of the city selling us out to impark.

i still havnt paid for one impark ticket and last one i got was a few weeks ago, i just think if they catch u parking at one of their lots after not paying for one they can tow you

Do they send them to collection agencys? And ding your credit?

[koopkoop2]

Yes, they send them to a collection agency. However, between these two parties, one must be able to pull your info from your license plate # - which almost brings me back to one of my original questions of "Can they actually get your personal info based on your license plate?"

I've got a parking ticket from 3 years ago with Impark... haven't heard a word.

Just don't get caught parking there without a pass again, otherwise they will tow you.

No. They used to have an agreement between the Service Alberta Minister and the Impark Corp to be able to obtain your information from Alberta Registries. A FOIP complaint was filed and the AMVIR policy was implemented. Their access has been denied ever since as they are not a government organization.

If you've never paid for an Impark ticket, check your credit history. You might be in for a surprise.

got one in Calgary a couple years back, just threw it on the ground didnt worry about it.
This past summer however in edmonton they didnt even leave a ticket, they towed my car (new liscence plate though). Funny thing is, they didnt tow any other cars but the 2 Lexus' in the parking lot, bastards
