The Los Angeles Parking Violation Bureau

I confronted a citation officer just before he was going to issue a ticket to me, I explained the situation and he told me I was not being issued a ticket. A week later I got the citation in the mail! I was lied to and I am going to fight this!

I never paid a late street sweeping ticket until this year. 2 things went wrong.

1. They never placed a citation on my windshield. 2. I was never mailed the first notice.

I got mailed a late notice saying payment was due for a citation. When i called they claimed they had send me a citation by mail but i never got it. I ended paying $100+ for a citation that i didn't even know about!

I don't know who handles the mailing or paperwork but they didn't do their job or perhaps the first notice was lost in the mail. The officer who issued the ticket did not place the citation on my windshield.

my license plate was damaged in an accident. I applied for a replacement plate from the DMV, they made me return the damaged plate along with the application and $20.

I made a Xerox copy of the damaged plate and the application for replacement before I handed them over, and put them on my dash when I park. I have now received 2 tickets for not having a plate on my car...how can this be!!! What more can I do??? Some drunk *** hit my brand new car, and now this!!!

BTW, the LA parking enforcement doesn't even have a complaint department...how convenient for them. Even if you get the name of the officer, or have proof that they are giving bogus tickets...there's nothing you can do.

I have confidential plates. I did not know that I had parking citations on my car as I never received any notices!

Years later....my car gets towed and they state it was because of past due parking violations....THAT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF! Some of these citations are from 2004! I never received notice from the DMV either! I never recieved any notice at home or my work.

Now they are holding on to my appeal stating that they want a letter from my boss stating that I never received my mail. I am a professional...why would my boss open my mail or know who I receive mail from?? When I ask who is the reporting agency or person over the dept.

They refuse to give me any names. Can someone help me on this???

on the day of the pre elections my mom when to vote, she parked on a no stopping sign, she did not see it but she understod that if she got a tiket it was her problem. she got a ticket for $45, so she tought.

after she paid the ticket that was givent o her on the 2/5/08 she send a paymetn for $45 on 2/14/08, two months after she got a nother letter letting her know she did not pay the ticket in full, she was asked to pay an additional $25, she did on 4/1/08. now 6 montyhs latter she gets another letter teliing her that she has to pay $80, because her last paymetn was one day overdue. we are extremly pissed off. the city of los angeles is only traing to take money from their citezens.

i hate this stuped city we live in. the stuped as parking enforment do not even know how to write clear. we hate this whole thing, now not me or anyone of my family memebers will vote. sorry but california will not have 29 votes.

thanks to this stuped asssssss city. lets hope this helps in the elections. dont that say every vote counts.

well we hate the city of los angeles for doing this to people who work hard and are people who used to care about their city.

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.

I truly feel City of Los Angeles, especially Parking Violation Bureau uses non-democratic and unconstitutional tactic to get back to its resident.

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...

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.

You are responsible... They should have a better system... a Democratic and Not Communist system.
