Front plate violation - never received notice

[chimini]

What is the name of your state? Illinois (Chicago)

I just got notice in the mail today for TWO no front plate violations. one from september and one from mid-november. I never received any of the original tickets and can put a front plate on now. I was planning on putting it after getting ONE ticket since my dealer never installed it originally. Any chance I can do a mail-in contest to get at least one of the fines removed or the fines reduced?

how the heck should we know? Have you called the number on the ticket and asked them?

just called. no dice. I was supposed to get a ticket on the car or in the mail. City doesn't care that I did not. Thanks anyways.

I don't know why IL dealers to not automatically put a front license plate bracket on a vehicle when the front plate is required in IL.

My boss got such a ticket from airport parking while out of town. He could not find his front plate, so he thought he ordered a replacement front plate only, but they sent him new plates with a different number. Then he had no registration sticker for the new plates because he had put it on the old rear plate. You just can't win.
