Impark 2015

[Mitsu3000gt]

I know this has been debated to death in previous years, but I just wanted to check if anything has changed in 2015 regarding not having to pay Impark tickets? I did a search and couldn't find anything this year. I see they are now $65, and if you don't pay in 7 days, $95.

My GF got an Impark ticket the other day, and I told her I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to pay it assuming nothing has changed. Is that definitely still the case? Still using their own BS "collections" ? Still have no power over your credit rating? Still have no access to the registry?

Thanks!

Here's a fairly new news link regarding private parking, including impark.

They must have some access to the registry because they are able to get your phone number for the collections calls.

They're collections are pretty relentless, I was getting calls 2-3 times a day for an $80 ticket until I blocked the number.

Maybe ya'll should just pay your tickets instead of being pricks.

I pay Impark $550/mth to park downtown so if you arn't paying I hope you get ticketed to hell and sent to collections.

+1. Don't be cheap and just pay the $65.00.

A little off topic this reminds me I got a couple parking tickets in Seattle wonder if I need to pay those?

Oh and i think I used the toll bridge in Vancouver without paying, any reason to pay that ticket?

[dirtsniffer]

Well impark doesn't have the authority to make people pay tickets so why would you pay them? Feeling charitable? The only thing they can do is tow you, or they could get the city to ticket you.

TLDR,

If you don't pay it, you get collection calls and may get towed without warning next time you are in an Impark lot. But nothing bad will ever happen.

I won't pay the penalty/ticket but will offer to pay whatever the daily maximum is and call it a day. I assume your GF is at fault after all.

why don't you guys pay in first place for parking and not get ticket?

Cause on beyond its often trendier to buck the system and be a cheap ass.

The "collections agency" they send it to is actually not a true collections agency. They named it something that sounds official, but they can't do anything.

It was after 6pm on a Saturday and from what I am told she didn't know it was a private lot. She always pays normally. Honest mistake this time around.

Maybe what we'll do is mail a cheque for the maximum parking rate at the time and see what happens - she would have had no problem paying if she had known it was a private lot.

private lot instead of public lot?

is this the strip mall type now that have parking that costs?

I can see the impark lot on 10th ave from my office and they do tow people, they towed two cars on Friday while I was watching. So if you dont plan to ever park in an impark lot again, then you're probably okay not paying it.

This was some lot near the Calgary Tower, I don't know exactly which one, I'd have to go look.

I have no issues paying the $10 or whatever the rate is. I have an issue with the ridiculous $65/$95 penalty.

Vinci right not is killing me... I'll park my motorbike in the lot and pay, still to get a ticket.. This is like my 3rd one.. And Its not me that screwing it up.


They make fighting the appeal so annoying. Best part is "Ticket cancellation will be subject to a administration fee. Please send only one email per appeal, we will reply as soon as possible.."

[JustinMCS]

This is why I use city lots only. ParkPlus is reasonable and if you ever need any help they are really good usually. Only downside - if you get a ticket, you need to pay it or you cant register your vehicle when it's up for renewal

City lots are a blessing, and a breeze of fresh air compared to vinci... Only one close to the office though.

I got a ticket at the Sunridge lot, when I payed, so I stopped paying when I had to go which was about 4 times. Fuck them
