Stung by Chicago parking - $120 - no city sticker.

I got a parking ticket in Seattle in '98. I ignored it. In 2006 it showed up on my credit report as a drasticalliy past due debt. Damn computers!

[quote Black Landlord][quote M A V I C]Wow, that's an incredibly messed up system. Can't wait for someone to sue the city. Parking enforcement should be looking up the plates to make sure they're registered in the city. Forcing people to fight the ticket after the fact is ridiculous.
It's illegal in Chicago to sue the city of Chicago.
That doesn't seem right either. Sounds like someone needs to go over their heads.

Where did you find that? I've been searching for the last 15 minutes, and can't find anything like that.

You could say that you never saw it, I mean it is possible that someone took it off your car before you got there.
