OK but what about that shitty mall that charges for parking and gives private parking tickets?
Private parking tickets aren't generally enforceable in a court, but they can choose to tow or boot your vehicle if you park somewhere ride under their control.
I work at a university, and while the parking services department can't give you a real ticket enforceable by the court, they can withhold student records, diplomas, etc or withhold registration.
But tickets handed out by University police are different, since they're actually police and not parking attendants.
I didn't pay a couple of private tickets, over ten years passed, and so far I have been fine, but I'm not a lawyer...
You inspired me to do a little research on my local shitty mall and it turns out they didn't get city permission for their little scheme, so all they can do is send you demands for payment, and if you get a bunch of fake tickets in 12 months they can threaten to tow.
Since I go there only a couple of times a year, sounds like I get free parking.
Huh seems weird. Doesn't the US have extremely broad contract law that would make this a contract violation that can be legally enforced - including seizing your salary or bank account until the penalty is paid?
Over here you can park for free exactly once and successfully deny payment if you claim it was someone else who violated the contract. However, you can then be legally forced to sign a declaration that your vehicle will never park there again with significantly higher violation fees.
Interesting. What country is that?
Here (USA) I think if a mall tried that it would be suicide. They are already struggling to get enough customers against online shopping and many malls and some major retail stores are going out of business.
I'd only be worried if they were willing to send it to collections, that can hit your credit. Even a small thing can fuck up your credit
They don’t have your SSN. How are they going to report it?
Even if they learn the registered owner, doesn’t prove who got the “ticket” and unlike a real ticket they can’t hold it over you with the DMV.
Was just calling out something to think about at least
