if it isnt a big deal and the ticket isnt much, the best thing to do sometimes is just to pay it and be done

now im confused becasue i have the license plate right next to me but yet the paper i got in the mail says issue date 12/19/08.

on the top it says "our records indicate that you have neglected to make full payment or properly contest the parking ticket(s) described below within the time limit prescribed by law. because this ticket was not resolved in a timely manner, penalties have been added to the original fine amount. failure to respond to this notice within 15 calender days from the date of this notice, by either paying in full the amount due shown below or by contesting this ticket, will result in additional penalties."

someone please explain this to me. i had it in my room ever since i sold the red car, and never let any of my friends borrow it to drive any car or anything. i dont even remember parking this car in center city when i owned it and if i did and got a ticket back then, i would of payed it. i would never leave it alone for more than 5 mins anyways since it was my 1st car and didnt want nobody to touch it.

what should i do? the ticket is only $61 and i dont mind paying it if it was my fault, but i didnt even have the car when the ticket was supposively issued. can this be fake? this came from the city of philadelphia, not traffic court, police district or something else. also in the paper it does not mention the street name or where i was parked, it only comes up on the website listed on the paper www.philapark.org. the page seems legit, but something seems wrong like i mentioned, the car was sold 2 years ago and i have the license plate.

Call Philadelphia get this straightened out. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER on the ticket. This sounds like a scam to me.

The address they listed to send the payment to IS the City of Philadelphia. I checked. No scam. At least in that regard.
