Legal Question in Traffic Law in Washington

Re: parking ticket at university

Parking tickets go against the owner of the vehicle. I assume that the vehicle that was ticketed was yours. Who else was using your vehicle? Was the address that they had for you correct? Was that address from your vehicle's registration records thatare tied to your vehicle license plate number? Is that address current? This is a debt collection matter now and your rights are now determined by the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You will have to dispute the debt in writing to the collection agancy within 30 days of the date of the letter or telephone call from the collection agency. Request complete documentation of the debt, including all correspondence sent by, I assume, WWU as well as the copy of the original parking citation, etc. It is now up to you to disprove that you are liable for the ticket. Maybe you better be more careful as to who you allow to use your car and that you keep the address of your vehicle registration current so that you know when something is going on with your vehicle. Good Luck!
