[Merged] parking ticket in York University

[zzhsnoopy]

hey, does anybody have experience of dealing parking tickets in Yorku University.

I heard if your vehicle is not registered with Yorku, they cannot do anything about it besides keeping sending you parking tickets and statement. (coz they will get your address from MTO)

I've accumulated more than $1400. any suggestions? Thx ops:

haha sucker, how did you get in university if you cant even read the parking instructions right?

[zzhsnoopy]

oh well, there are tones of ppl doing the same thing in York U. Besides, there are many places in the university don't have any sign that indicates no parking. I just want to hear other ppl's experience.

You are no help at all...if you don't have any constructive advice, please keep your mouth shut.

Check the tickets, there is a good chance that even though they are issued by the university they are city tickets, & if they are tied into the mto you're f***ed when you go to renew your plates.

Also wondering the same thing as pizzaman . . . how exactly are you smart enough to get into U of T, but dumb enough to run up $1700 in tickets?

I heard that they can prevent the owner of the car from graduating.. my car is "owned" by my mom.. I pay up on my parking tickets though just in case

[enforcerviper]

Seriously, $1400 in parking tickets? After the first two did you not inquire about this with your campus?

$1400 is A LOT of parking offenses, and I don't think they will go lightly on a repeat offender if you NEED plea with them. If you could just walk away from York parking tickets I don't think anyone would waste their time buying parking passes.

actually, I know my roommate walked away from $2000 parking ticket last year when she graduated. That's why I followed her way. but I like to hear more cases.

Btw, the tickets itself is not related to MTO. My roommate just sold her car last month. No hassle at all.

yea...i dont think you have a problem...my friend at york gets parking tickets all the time...the parking enforcement there is a joke...it's like a donation...you can pay but u dont have to

But, how DID you get into University?

I don't think you could expect to post a thread on how to murder someone and not get caught without having someone suggest that murder is wrong.

I really don't know how you neutralize something like this to alllow the feeling that you are not supposed to pay for parking tickets. There have been a number of threads like this... this, and speeding tickets.

How can they not have already towed your car away??

I got a parking ticket at my school (McMaster). The car is registered to my mom and those bastards just put the fine on my student account. Don't pay your student account, don't graduate.

How the hell do you think he got in to university wise guy?!?
What kind of comment is that? Do you think someone who has accumulated parking tickets and knows of a way to avoid paying is considered too dumb for university?

University teaches you to work within and recognize the framework of some field.

If you can't work within the framework of the law, you are not getting off to a good start.

University is unwashed now, though... it used to be more discriminating.

Actually I have run into the same problem while my wife got a parking ticket from York U while attending her part time MBA classes. The car is registered under my name, so after not getting payment, I finally got a notice sent to my home with my name on it obviously. I am curious to see what will happen if I don't pay as I really have no intention to pay. The only thing that might get to me is when I can't renew my sticker from MTO a year and half from now. Other then that, none of that "not be able to graduate" BS scares me as she won't be tied to this ticket, even if they discover our relationship, I can always argue that it was me actually driving the car at the time.

Yeah i got one when i stayed the night there once.....i never payed it, i think they tacked it on to my license renewel.

$1400+$60 would be a pretty expensive license renewal!
