Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Parking Tickets

I have two problems: I received two failures to appear in court with their respective increased ''Parking Exceeded Time Limit'' fees in the mail last Friday. The only problem is I never received those two tickets. I had gone out to the parking meter (in New Brunswick, NJ) to put coins in expecting a ticket because I had woken up late. When I got there, there were no tickets anywhere on the car. I would have paid the one ticket I was expecting to receive with no problem but nothing was on my car to indicate that a ticket had been issued.

When I received this information in the mail I was completely surprised. In respect to the tickets, they were issued within half of an hour of one another (9:37am and 10:07am) for a two hour parking spot. This seemed suspicious to me. I hadn't moved my car and was being charged twice for the same offense.

Is there anything I can do about this? I think I should pay one of the tickets because I was parked over the time limit. However, is there anything I can do to get the fees lowered back to their original price and/ or one of the tickets dropped?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
