parking ticket

calvino · 03-01-2007, 10:39 PM

hey guys I have a problem I pick up my mail today and I found a letter from the city of Fort Lauderdale saying that I have a parking citation that I have not pay the big problem is that the license plate that they mention is not my license plate

and the issue date was on 12/29/06 I was in Georgia that date

however my name and address are in the letter

can it be identity theft ??? I try to call the # listed here but is a machine no customer service

what should I do??? should I call my local police department? the can get the record using the license plate

no is no a scam actually I went to the city of Fort Lauderdale website and the citation # is real and it says my name next to it.

You write them a registered letter stating that you do not own a car
with that license plate and neither your car was there at the
date/time of the citation stating at the same time your car's and
your whereabouts. That's about it. And no you don't have to prove
anything. It's them they have to prove you owe a car with that
license plate or your car was cited at the place/date/time they
say in the ticket.
