Private Parking Ticket Dispute

Summary

Private parking tickets in California are not the same as city-issued tickets. Private companies can pursue payment through collections and may track you using your license plate. To avoid paying, review the ticket for errors, dispute it if issued incorrectly, or negotiate if it goes to collections. Private companies generally cannot directly access personal information via your license plate, but third-party services may legally obtain it through the DMV under specific conditions. Protect your personal information by securing data, monitoring credit reports, and keeping vehicle registration secure. If unauthorized access occurs, report to the DMV, file a police report, and consider a credit freeze.
