Funny enough, the “violation” was issued for a lot at Langara and the reason code was for “Obstruction”. I called and asked what that means and they said that I was either parked in an illegal space or over the lines. I asked them why they think I would park crooked in a half-empty lot and that I park in the same area every week when I attend class. I asked why, then, didn’t I have a ticket for every week I have been taking the class???? Convenient that there was never a ticket on my car. If I’d seen it then, I could have taken a photo of my car in the space to dispute it. But, since there wasn’t one, I was unaware, got in my car and drove off.

Bunch of lying bastards! I called their office and the guy put me on hold and never came back. Holding now for someone to pick up. I am livid! I should send them an invoice for the time I’m spending trying to call them about this bogus ticket for something that never happened. Guess they had to come up with something since I had a valid parking ticket on my dashboard.

Just got off the phone with them now and apparently the guy I talked to last week cancelled the ticket, though it would have been nice for him to tell me that so I wouldn’t waste more time calling them back!

The City of Vancouver really should do something about these scamming cash-grabs like towing and parking lot companies who ticket people for no reason.
