Cars towed 9/24 for Newport Marathon

Submitted by cssndra_d t3_1128wnk in jerseycity

I’m in the process of going to court because my car along with several others was towed on 9/24 in front of 222 Montgomery Street due to the Newport Marathon. No signs were hung until the cars were towed. The judge told me to get a letter from JC Parking stating when signs were issued and posted. Is anyone else dealing with this?

In my experience, the Parking Authority will do you the courtesy of printing a letter stating your permits on record if you need to go to court to fight a ticket. But, asking the Parking Authority to print out a letter stating "yeah, we fucked up, and you were incorrectly towed because of our mistake" is probably as likely as watching pigs fly.

I made that point to the judge as well and she said we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. In the hour I was at the impound there were around 17 people there who were all parked along the route of the marathon because the signs were not hung.

I think the judge knows it will be impossible for you obtain such a letter from the Parking Authority.

Right?! I spoke to 4 different people/ departments this morning and got thru to someone that told me to send an email request. We shall see.

Easier to delete/ignore an email than to get you off the phone.

They're not going to do jack shit.

If I were you I would send a written request via certified mail

Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that along with the email I sent.

Try an email first, then a phone call. I’ve had a post officer worker tell me that sending certified mail to government agencies doesn’t always work since it requires a signature.
