What they should have done is told Impark to pony up for the expense of lot attendants at their places, eliminating the need for licence plate information.

That way the government could have kept the information private instead of using it as a cash cow.

Bloody good point! This government has spent too much time at the trough to understand even a simple concept like respecting private information.

A question related to "collection" practices...

How can the company initiate debt collection unilaterally? I.e., unless they prove the existence of some debt in a small claims court (or something), is it not simply harrassment when they repeatedly call you asking for money? [/b][/quote]
From what I understand it pretty much is a scare tactic.

Impark can't legally charge you more than the posted rate on the sign.
if you get a ticket, all you have to do is send them whatever the price to park there was supposed to be and there's nothing they can do about it. I got this advice from a prof in a law course, and i've done it and it worked just fine.
