Disputing a Norfolk Citation

If you believe you have been issued a parking ticket by mistake, you may refuse to pay and dispute instead. Mistakes happen all the time when issuing citations and some of those include incorrect or missing vehicle information or wrong time and date of issuance. Here below are what you need to do to ensure that you win a ticket dispute:

1. The first step is to gather as much evidence as you can. Take pictures of the location of the car, parking meter, ambiguous signs, and any proof that may render a parking ticket invalid.
2. Do not assume liability by paying the ticket. This makes it difficult to reverse the payment after the hearing.
3. Draft a professionally written letter and send it to the correct parking ticket office address. You may also complete this process by sending the dispute online.
4. Include evidence that supports your claim.
5. If you request a hearing to resolve your case make sure to attend, be on time, and conduct yourself professionally.
