just a little info for people that didn't know this:
You are allowed 1 'free ticket' per license plate for the City of Vancouver. If you call the ticket in to the number on the back, you can ask them if you can get it waived since it's your first ticket on your plate. they will check and if it is, the person can waive your ticket.
This only applies for the first ticket for your license plate. if you change your plate, it'll cost you the same as paying off the ticket anyways so that's not really a way to 'cheat the system' if that what some of you are thinking in order to escape 1 ticket.
btw, i know this because my friend writes tickets for the city of vancouver. he told me this and i've tried it. it works.
note - this is only for the city of vancouver...not sure if other municipalities do this or not.

the ticket officer saw me too, i ripped it up in his face and threw it in the garbage.
he couldn't really do much, he said he was going to tow my car next time
im like, alright man, i'll see you at the impound lot.
changed plate, nothing happened HAHA, poor guy giving out tickets without anyone paying for them.
PS. off-topic, but does anyone know what happened to the trial between the person and UBC parking?! who won?! still going?! | No offence but you sound like a douche. Who cares if you are going to swap plates. The parking guy's just doing his job and doesn't need to take your bullshit.

They're not going to get things like your birth date or other shit that can be used for identity theft, only the name and mailing address of the vehicle's registered owner.

I've only gotten one from Impark a couple of years ago and they're still bugging me about it every so often via the telephone. No credit damage. I find dealing with their calls on occasion to be well worth saving the $68 they're asking from me for being 15 mins overtime back then.
I still park at Impark occasionally. They won't tow you unless you haven't paid for a ticket.

$60 for meter tickets and $90 for stuff like no stopping anytime and hydrants.

It's not worth it for them to sue you for small amounts, but unless you have an huge stack of tickets then it will be profitable to get you for it.

it's so stupid when this place called Diamond parking gives you a parking ticket... you can't even pay it through ICBC... you gotta pay it in person(their head office is in langley...) or over phone with a credit card WTF.

its not worth it when dealing with city/municipal tickets, just pay it early since it's half price $30 for meters, and $45 for other violations rather than go to court n lose n having to pay60/90 respectively (the minimum nowadays cant go lower) AND risk paying more if you were an ass at the time.

just found out that i racked up $120 in parking tickets from impark dating back to 2006 on my parents' van.
does anyone have a link to any relevant laws that says parking tickets can't affect credit ratings? i'd like to show my parents to give them peace of mind.
