parkingticket.com Rings-In Philadelphia!
BEAT YOUR PARKING TICKET VIA THE INTERNET . . .
IT'S GUARANTEED
Philadelphia's beleaguered motorists can now use the Internet to help beat a weekly avalanche of tens of thousands of parking summonses.
parkingticket.com, which has provided its trademark fighting success in New York City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C and Boston since 2001, is now expanding its service to include all parking tickets issued in Philadelphia.
parkingticket.com offers a high success rate potential for its clients. The fines for two out of three summonses challenged by this firm are either dismissed or reduced and more than $100 Million in parking ticket fines have been saved by its customers.
Prior to 2001, parkingticket.com sold computerized software only to large commercial fleets, such as Kraft Foods, Pillsbury Foods, Anheusher-Busch and Nestle. Now those tools have been redeployed so that anyone with a Philadelphia parking ticket can log on and fight.
"Millions of summonses are issued annually in Philadelphia," declared parkingticket.com President Glen Bolofsky, "and we're giving people in Philadelphia a system that guarantees they will win. In fact, parkingticket.com guarantees that each ticket will be dismissed or you pay nothing." If the ticket is dismissed, customers pay half of the amount they save, he declared.
"Most people don't even know they can fight their parking tickets, let alone have the time to go to court or write a letter that details their defense. parkingticket.com gives them a legal and effective way to contest a summons from their homes or offices," stated Bolofsky.
At no additional cost, parkingticket.com will request an official copy of a summons in the event the original copy was either mutilated or never attached to the car's windshield. Adding to public convenience, the service is available around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Going online to resolve a parking summons is fast, simple and exact:
- New customer logs onto parkingticket.com
- Enters information from parking ticket onto a look-alike ticket on computer screen display
- Enters data from vehicle registration certificate
- From screen, chooses either a credit card, check or money order payment option
- "Sends" information to parkingticket.com
- Within 48 hours the client will receive a confidential, customized dismissal letter, a request for an official copy of the original summons or a notification to pay the fine expeditiously in order to avoid penalties.
Mark Conrad, a former New York City Parking Violations Judge who helped design the original program and the new web site, said that it will make it easier for people to respond more expeditiously and to gain dismissals. "It will even facilitate the City of Philadelphia's swifter adjudication of parking tickets," he said, "by providing a standardized format to allow a more efficient review of each contested summons."
If a summons that led to a car being towed away is contested and won, he pointed out, not only is the summons fine eliminated, but the accompanying towing charge is killed as well.
Retired Washington, D.C. Police Lt. Bill Kaval, a graduate of the FBI National Academy who is part of the team of parkingticket.com consultants, pointed out that a system like this would do a lot to increase the public's awareness that a summons can be easily and legally disputed without giving the issuing Officer a hard time. "This will make it easier for the guys in the field," stated Officer Kaval, "and besides, once I write the ticket, it's out of my hands".
The parkingticket.com website officially adds Philadelphia to the list of cities it handles parking tickets in; along with New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Boston.
