[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is the most relevant forum for this but pls correct if wrong.  Hope to make people aware of this to prevent harm.

I got a surprise bill in the mail from Vanguard Parking Solutions in Hollywood Florida, with photos of my license plate, for $58+ (more if not paid now, with threat of collections) for parking there for 2 hours on the day of a tornado and failing to see a barcode to scan.  This is new there.  Warning ppl--I'm not sure how folks will deal with this who are don't see the sign, don't scan barcodes (I asked around and many ppl I know esp elderly ones who shop there don't even do this) etc.

fwiw I called them and left a message explaining, with my phone # listed 3 times, no response and today got another bill for $90 with same threat.

It's a thread on reddit, mostly in Florida but new to Bethesda.

Any insights--should I just pay this, do my civic duty with MD Atty General's office, and never park there again?[/quote]

Ignore, and ignore when it goes to collections and file a dispute. You are not going to jail for this nor will your credit report be negatively impacted by this small amount (I've had far worse with no consequence). Let Trader Joe's know what a shitty operation they are to support something like this and threaten to stop shopping there.[/quote]
