Bullying by City of West Hollywood

The City of West Hollywood not taking responsibility for their mistake

July 7, 2011



When has the City of West Hollywood parking gone to far? I received a ticket for parking in a residential area without a permit back in March of 2011. The ticket had $5 printed on it. Granted, the ticket was wet and I had to let it dry off (it was raining heavily that night). I checked the ticket carefully to make sure it was correct. The ticket stated that I had a certain date to pay it and it would go up to over a hundred dollars. I promptly paid it and forgot all about it. A couple of weeks later I received a letter from the City of West Hollywood that stated that I still owed $50. I was not sure why but figured they had made a mistake. Being new to the area, I didn’t want any problems so I paid the $50 with a second ticket I had received two blocks away when my meter expired. After approximately three weeks, I received another ticket stating that I had not paid them and the balance on the ticket had gone up. I promptly called them and stated I had paid them and had proof. After talking to representative, I learned I had paid the City of Los Angeles. He told me I had to get a letter from the City of Los Angeles manager explaining that I had over paid them. I called the City of Los Angeles and was told I would receive a refund but could not obtain letter from manager. I called the City of West Hollywood and explained the situation. I requested this time to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold. The representative came back on the phone and I was denied speaking to supervisor. I wrote out a letter to City of West Hollywood with copy of check. I went down and filed a Contest. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was denied. At the time, I chose to pay the $50 balance hoping it would end. I then receive a letter from City of West Hollywood stating they needed copies of all cancelled checks. I got cancelled checks from bank and went down and submitted. I spoke to a representative less than two weeks ago and was told my contest was still being reviewed. I called today and was told the city has placed another late fee (on top of the previous late fee) and that my claim had been denied (yet, I was NOT sent a letter of notification on their ruling). The City is now using scare tactics threatening to ruin my credit history and send me to collections unless I pay. I legally paid the initial fine and paid an extra $50 which I was NOT responsible for. Again I ask, when has the city gone to far?
