Yesterday I received a notice from a collection agency stating that I have an unpaid parking ticket. This ticket was issued in April of 1999. This notice from the collection agency is the first time I have been notified of this parking ticket I supposedly received five years ago. I called the agency and told them that I plan to dispute this claim as I have never been notified. If the city really wanted this money from me why did they wait five years to send me to collections or at least contact me? Is it acceptable for the government to sit on this for such a long period of time without sending a notice? I would of had no problem in paying the ticket but I am outraged that I never received anything until now. Is there a statute of limitations on parking tickets? Do I have any case in your opinion? Thanks so much!
