That's stupidity right there. Keep those spots open for those who need it! :flamemad:

That's just you being a fucking stupid idiotic cunt.

Don't think my polite words are there to simply mask the distaste I have for you right now.

If it's your own restaurant, why would you block your handicapped customers? Just draw yourself a reserved? :confused:

shhh Graeme, use your inside voice.

john has a point there.
its just a dumb ass move parking in a handicap spot..
as much as i hate the fact that there are TOO MANY handicap spots, they are there for a reason.

i have a question.

about a week and half ago i got a ticket for parking in the street for residents only.
the thing is my insurance on the plates runs out like in a week, and i'm not re insuring the car. can i get away with not paying?

Depends if it's a ticket given to you by a company like ImPark/Diamond, or if it's issued by the city.

No. The city will come after you. The city came after me for a 3 year old ticket I got with my ES300. Just pay it. You did the crime, now do the time.

damn, yah it was issued by the city

Haha OP you're a fucking idiot.

what if the ticket was issued by the city of white rock? I just changed the license plate on my car, but I get letters..

Will this affect my credit rating?

It will if the city hires a collection agency to go after you and you still refuse to pay after a few notices.

so even if u got a ticket from diamond parking u don't have to pay even if they get the collection agency after u?? also ur credit won't get affected (sorry if itz a dumb question...i just got my first parking ticket ><)

I have no experience with Diamond, but the city will get a collection agency after you. They will send you some warning letters to give you a chance to pay in installments or whatever, but if you ignore them, you're going to have a negative credit report.

With Vancouver, if you have more than 5 unpaid parking tickets, they have the authority to come and arrest you. A manager for the Yaletown Brewing Co was led away in handcuffs during the lunch rush because she had unpaid tickets.

with the city: yes they can...cuz they are the govie :). ANY OTHER CAR PARKS NO.

Only a few companies have the authority to affect credit reports. Because you signed authority for them to look and change your credit bureau because your borrowing from them. AKA: Credit cards/banks those kinda companies.
Car parking lots: not one of them. They have the ability to tow your ass on any of the lots and make you cough of the cash. Yes. Affect credit: no.

Can you sue them for libel? If the information about you is actually false and damaging, not just a true negative item, you might consider legal action against both the credit bureaux and the company reporting the false damaging information.

In addition, i've seen countless credit bureau's. I know what i'm tlaking bout.

But here this might help: 3rd Page right paragraph.

I wrote the city will go after you, not the private companies.

yah my bad, i changed it :)

i'm curious too.

When i asked Diamond parking how they got my information they told me they got it from icbc through the freedom of information act.

I don't understand why when someone gets a parking ticket here on revscene they feel they need to not pay. For the most part, when you recieve a ticket, they don't just randomly give one. There's a reason behind each ticket and the reason you received one was you weren't paying attention to where you were parking, not paying for parking, or just completely ignorant of any signs in the lot. If there's so many big parking companies still in existant and some of you think that you don't need to pay them, then don't you think these companies would just go broke by now? if it's all true that you don't have to pay because of these reasons some of you are giving. then i wouldn't pay for parking ever again nor will i comply with any signs in a private parking lot.

33.1 i i A

I believe that answers everyone's questions on how.

when i apparently received my ticket from diamond parking, i was not even in the lot that day. the first time i was aware of an outstanding ticket was when i received two letters from Wiggins Adjustments (there collection agency) on the same day, saying i had an outstanding ticket.

33.1? Does this have to do with Kryptonite? LOL anyways...

33.1 (i) (i) A & B:
"A public body may disclose personal information referred to in section 33 inside or outside Canada as follows:

if the disclosure is for the purposes of collecting amounts owing to the government of British Columbia or a public body by an individual, or a corporation of which the individual the information is about is or was a director or office"

So it means anyone who claims people owes you money can get anyone's information? Cause I doubt most of us are directors.

:confused:

Allow me to bold things for you.

if the disclosure is for the purposes of collecting amounts owing to the government of British Columbia or a public body by an individual, or a corporation of which the individual the information is about is or was a director or office.

I was a parking enforcement officer for 2 years. As far as Im concerned if your 10 minutes over and its your first time, paying them would almost be like donating to charity. Assuming this is a private company. Just from my experience.


From what I remember, if you accumulate say 3 tickets with the same company they can get info for the purpose of getting a collection agency after you.
