Help! Parking Tickets!

First see if you can get copies of the tickets--if there's anything even as small as a smudge on the addy where you were ticketed, you can get the judge to throw it out. In the absence of that, just show up at court and contest. They'll at least lower the fines.

Write and explain. If you are willing to pay for one, the judge should throw out the rest.

I came back to my car after vacation once and found $550 worth of tickets. OMFG! $110 a day (expired inspection and expired registration - both happened when I was out of town) and then they hit me 5 days in a row.

Went to court. Admitted that since I don't drive often, I didn't realize date had passed.

Judge agreed it was excessive and I paid $110.

Another time somebody knocked my plate off while parallel parking. I noticed at 6pm. I took the plate and put it on my dashboard. Got a ticket. Wrote a letter saying what happened and got it fixed the next day. Ticket dismissed.

I'd try to get copies first, and then write in an explanation.

Make a photo copy of you giving the finger and enclose it with your check. It may provide some solace.

every time i've fought it online i've lost and been penalized. every time i've done it in person i've won.
