paying late AC Transit parking ticket?
January 2, 2012 9:39 AM Subscribe
Got a parking ticket from AC (Alameda County, CA) transit. Intended to pay it on time but forgot about it. The ticket has never shown up in the online or phone pay systems. I could pay by mail but am concerned that the ticket price has gone up and that I won't get notices about what I owe. I tried calling the number on the back of the ticket but can't get through to a human being to find out how much I should pay them now. Does anyone know how much the tickets go up? If I pay by mail and the price is more more than the original ticket what should happen?

Were you calling today? It's the Federal holiday for New Year's Day - they're closed.

If it doesn't show up in their system, there's a problem. Their problem. Find out, tomorrow, if they have the record of the ticket.
If they don't, don't make waves.
I got a speeding ticket out of state years ago. I lost it before I returned home. (It was a fraudulent ticket anyway.) Years later a notice finally came to me in the mail. They had entered a misspelled name and wrong zip code along with the false charge. That cop did a wonderful job copying from my real driver's license, (along with his original observational skills that I was driving a rental car so he could do a fast fraud ticket on me to make his quota). The Post Office Dead Letter Office finally got it to me somehow, only my State was accurate. I ignored it except to tell this story.
Don't call them from your own phone number...
YMMV.

California just started an amnesty program for unpaid traffic tickets.
Starting January 1st through June 30th, 2012, drivers who have old unpaid traffic tickets might be able to catch a break. Certain unpaid traffic tickets are eligible for a 50 percent discount – if you clear the debt during this 6 month amnesty period.
Link.
Who do I contact to see if my violation is eligible for the discount?
After January 1, 2012, contact the Superior Court in the county where the violation occurred. Click here to find your court.
Good luck.

Pay by mail, and see what happens.
