What is the name of your state? PA
I got a notification at home for a parking ticket with late fees. Licence plate is mine. Amount of ticket is whopping $300+$23 late fee. The only problem is, I never got the ticket (otherwise I would make some efforts to pay it). Called the phone number listed. They said it's for "handicapped parking" !!! What???
Time and place is late at the airport.
After lots of hard thinking where could this have possible come from I recalled an interesting situation. I was picking up my wife at the airport. Knowing that I cannot stay long at the pick-up area I was cirlcing around until she called and said she landed and is on her way out. I pulled up to the curb, where very vigilant cop told me I cannot stay here. I told him, I know that, and I am here to pick up my wife who just called me that she landed and on her way out. He said, he doesn't care, I have to move. If there's no loading-unloading I have to move. I tried to explain that she'll be out in less than one minute. He insisted. I said "fine", got in the car and tried to drive away. The car in front which was being loaded was blocking my way. Cop saw it. I tried very hard to maneuver around it, the space was small. At this time, my wife walked out with her bags. I jumped out, tossed suitcases in the car, she got in, and we left. All loading took less than 20 seconds.
Now, time and place matches when I was at the airport. I was never given a ticket. I was not aware of any tickets. With the exception of that conversation with the cop, during which I tried to be as friendly as possible, and complied I didn't park anywhere else.
What should I do? This is totally bizzarre. How can I fight this? Do I need a lawyer? This is the first parking ticket I ever got (granted I actually never got this one)! Please help!!!!
