Hi everyone! I'm having some issues with the ppa right now. I was issued a parking ticket in June for an expired meter and I disputed it. There was no meter and the meter number on the ticket did not match any meters in the park mobile app. Once I disputed the ticket, it was suspended for the time being. I never received a letter with a decision as you do with other tickets where they let you know if you are liable or not.
Today I received a letter in the mail saying that my $26 ticket has now had 4 penalties applied to it and is now $91 and will be sent to collections if not paid. I spoke with the ppa and they told me that they had sent out the dispute decision letter in July but it was not delivered by the USPS and was returned and that there's nothing I can do but pay it or go through the courts. I'm very frustrated because I had been waiting to receive this letter in the mail and they also waited until my ticket incurred 4 penalties to send another letter... which was able to be delivered...
Is there anything I can do about this? I would've paid the ticket if they had let me know I am liable but I never received any response in the mail and I had checked the portal and the ticket was suspended.
Thanks!
