Parking Ticket Dismissed!!

Yay, I got my parking ticket dismissed!
The officer issuing the parking ticket made some mistakes on the parking ticket.
So, I decided to contest it. I wrote a letter to the parking violations bureau in Los Angeles.

Here’s how I wrote the letter.

To the City of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau:

I found this parking ticket on my vehicle. The ticket lists “WI” (Wisconsin) as the state. My vehicle is registered in Massachusetts (MA) and has always had a Massachusetts license plate. Also, the ticket lists the car color as grey, but my car is brown/gold. Please advise me on what I should do.

Sincerely,
My name

After I sent the letter, I got a response saying they needed evidence. So, I took pictures of my plate and registration and sent them a second letter. It’s basically a repeat of the first letter.

To the City of Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau:

In response to your letter, I’m including a copy of my Massachusetts plate and registration. I found this parking ticket on my vehicle (see copy of ticket). The ticket lists “WI” (Wisconsin) as the state. My vehicle is registered in Massachusetts (MA) and has always had a Massachusetts license plate. Also, the ticket lists the car color as grey, but my car is brown/gold.

Sincerely,
My Name

After the 2nd letter with photos, I received a letter from the parking bureau saying my ticket was dismissed!

If you live in Los Angeles and there’s a mistake on the ticket, try contesting it!! You’ll save $53!!
