big deal
you paid $30
if EVERYONE forced them to come (and it certainly cost them more than $30) this shit would stop because......................
it wouldn't make any money.

think of it as a $30 donation to the rapidly dwindling cause of freedom.

no i paid 70 . 40 for the ticket and another 30 for the delivery and yes it is a big deal when you pay for a parents bills a pregnant wife and trying to move . that extra 30 bucks is not breaking the bank but i can think of a whole lot better places to put it .

Better lesson is obviously NOT TO SPEED through a red light! As far as front plate.. I never had one since my very first car. They look fugly imho. I got a ticket once from parking the vehicle in Denver downtown. [Beer]

all im saying is if you live downtown they will send someone to your house , maybe because its walking distance from the courthouse ? whatever the reason if i get anymore ill pay the damn thing asap.

If I get another... and If I have to pay an extra "service fee" It'll still be less then the 4 I've avoided.....


Charge it to the game playa.

Oh and so I don't look as bad..
it's one red light and 3 speed trap van's
I don't run that many red lights, but them damn van's pop up and get me

I was totally set on NOT paying it, just based on principle*, but I wanted to try and get a house so I'm trying to keep my credit as clean as possible.

*The principle being that how F'ing DARE Denver tell me that I owe THEM money for not having a front plate on my car. It is against their rule, but they are not out any money for me having done so. It is RIDICULOUS for them to tell me that I owe MORE money, because I didn't pay them when they asked. It's not the same as defaulting on a loan or not paying for a purchase. Denver didn't lose money because I parked with no plate, and fuck them for telling me that I owe them MORE, for not paying what I never owed in the first place.

**Cops, yes I know that is against the law. I don't care.

Debtor's prison. Many states are doing this questionable activity

There's even hospitals getting in on the act with 'hiring' collection agency staff that appear to be hospital staff, who will 'persistently inquire' as to how you're gonna pay the bill!

Yeah hospitals/medical bill collections are getting bad. My father passed away last October, he didn't leave me anything to work with and no plans, no estate, no life insurance. Took what I could scrounge up to take care of his funeral costs. Luckily he was a veteran. He had many little debts with collectors hounding me day in and night months later. Sent them copies of death certificate etc. His auto insurance even after they got what they needed kept calling for collecting hoping I would pay I guess. Finally after yelling at them on the phone threatening to sue them they stopped.

I got one red light ticket right before I moved ages ago, sent to my old address where I shared an apartment with a friend. I ignored it my friend said they tried to serve me, he just told them I moved and no clue where I lived now. Never heard a thing from them. :D
