Default What happens if I don't pay Westpark?

Got a ticket for being in a 10-minute visitor parking spot for 13 minutes.

It's pretty clear I violated the rules but I'm not paying $45 for 3 minutes of parking in a low-traffic residential neighborhood (Springborough) in the middle of the day. That's highway robbery.

Does anyone know what they can do with my information? Can it actually affect me long-term if I don't pay them?

I don't think anything. I recollection is they are not enforcable tickets. However, I think they can tow you if you park again, unpaid. If you park paid I don't think they can touch you.

The towing companies usually don't bother coming out unless you've been there a good while, since it usually takes a few hours to get a tow truck anywhere and it'd kill there bottom line if they went chasing after everyone who was just outside of their allotted time. So if you keep things under a few hours and you're only legally obligated to pay the cities traffic tickets, all private parking is basically free parking.

What's cheaper - paying the ticket or getting new license plates?

They'll issue it to collectors and who cares...I turfed five or six tickets from impark over the years.Like he said it'll take a tow truck at least 1/2 an hour to get there.

Pretty sure it costs nothing extra to get a new plate the next time you have to renew your registration.

I have had to work with impark, they are total knobs, but really all they can do is get you towed. The parking companies are powerless unless you damage something.

I never pay those tickets. A year ago, I had Impark send me a letter saying that I had two unpaid tickets and that they were going to send me to collection unless I paid them (plus a late penalty). I just ignored it and I never heard anything about them again.
