Therefore, I inquired the City of Los Angeles Mayor's office for assistance... four times over 2 months of period, they promised to get back to you... NONE as of today.<BR/><BR/>I truly feel City of Los Angeles, especially Parking Violation Bureau uses non-democratic and unconstitutional tactic to get back to its resident.<BR/><BR/>Ticket payment is RECEIVED DATE and not POSTMARK DATE. This means, if the mail is lost, made to other department or wrong address... GOOD LUCK...<BR/><BR/>That is what happened to me and they have NO mercy... could we all get together and fight this battle... to get it changed to POSTMARK DATE as we do not control US Postal Service or Mailbox that is Federal authority... I got run around and being penalized for paying parking ticket... RECEIVED LATE and their letter of warning was LOST in mail... April 2 dated as of today is lost in LALA land.<BR/><BR/>You are responsible... They should have a better system... a Democratic and Not Communist system.<BR/><BR/>City uses whatever virtual authorities to not able you to renew registration, harassing in letter forms and so on... absolutely incredible... WHO knows our mail time is? 3 min and got ticket... paid $50 then now saying... it was received late.<BR/><BR/>I am absolutely disappointed with our system. This is the worst City... to live.<BR/><BR/>Please investigate how to have the law changed? I wrote to Sacramento, Mayor and Governor...<BR/>I do not wish to recommend LA place to live to anyone... SO unfriendly city.<BR/><BR/><BR/>ChristineMunkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193280685442399320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-58462179886345015482008-01-03T14:33:00.000-06:002008-01-03T14:33:00.000-06:00I'll tell you, the city/county/whatever of Los Ang...I'll tell you, the city/county/whatever of Los Angeles is completely screwed up when it comes to traffic violations. I did drive a car with expired plates in L.A. and received a ticket for it. I let it lapse and had a warrant for my arrest (note, I lived in N. California at the time and had only been visiting L.A.). Eventually, a few years later, I paid off the ticket and thought that was the end of it. About a year later I started getting notices from L.A. asking for their money. I explained that I paid them, they said I didn't. I contacted the California DMV in Sacramento and asked them if anything outstanding was on my record. They said no. I called L.A. back and told them Sacramento said I was clear and that they (L.A.) must be in error. They said no, Sacramento was in error. At this point I gave up. I didn't drive in L.A. again until after the statute (or whatever) of Limitations was up.<BR/><BR/>-KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-25427884512930899302007-12-30T08:45:00.000-06:002007-12-30T08:45:00.000-06:00I'm glad it is taken care of.

You basically absolve yourself of ownership after that. Although, I don't know what happens if the other person doesn't get their part taken care of. I guess what happened to you.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm wondering what became of my Eclipse from college... I didn't exactly follow up with the guy who bought that to make sure he tooks care of his part.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-6810843035216175732007-12-29T13:11:00.000-06:002007-12-29T13:11:00.000-06:00Crazy.

Who can blame him, it actually costs money to do that. The Houston Police impound lot calls me to pick up the hunk of junk and to pay several tickets. Hours of tedious paperwork later and one not so convenient visit to the notary and I think I have submitted enough proof that I do not own the car. WTF? What is wrong here? => Government at its best.<BR/>I feel your pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-48628868975729669022007-12-28T12:25:00.000-06:002007-12-28T12:25:00.000-06:00You realize this is the setup for a Chandleresque ...You realize this is the setup for a <A HREF="http://www.distanttransmission.com/misc/melbotis.gif" REL="nofollow">Chandleresque</A> tale, don't you?JALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879630166417997627noreply@blogger.com
