    Recently I received a parking infraction notice from Indigo Park (#********, dated Jun-26-2024).

    It was my first time driving to the airport to pick up someone in a very long time and I had no clue how busy it was. Since there were many other cars stopped on the side of the road I assumed it was ok to stop there.

    My apologies for parking in the wrong place but — now at $107.60 because of mail delays — the charge seems totally disproportionate. Besides the merit of notice itself, it seems absurd that you would think it is reasonable and good business practice to issue a notice by mail and expect it to be paid 7 days later — especially over the Canada day long-weekend — with a penalty of over 25% if it is not paid before the ridiculously short due date.

    Please void this ticket

    Thank you for understanding.

    Hello,

    The roadways leading into the terminal are Signed with "No Stopping" and "No Parking" signage for public safety reasons. Additionally, all highway access leading into the terminals have large digital signage indicating "Stopping along the curbs may result in a $85 fine". As a first time offender, we have decided to waive the late fee and reduce the violation to $50. Please visit the web portal or contact the call center to make payment arrangements.

    Thank you.

    I am rejecting this response because: I am unable to see concrete proof that I was parked illegally as claimed in your notice. The pictures on your website do not show either my vehicle or the location where it was parked.

    Hello,

    Please provide the pictures capturing your vehicle. The location is only relevant if you are on the Arrival's or Departure curbs. Otherwise, there is no parking or stopping along the shoulders or curbs leading into the terminals. Once provided, we will review your case.

    Thank you.

    Customer Answer

    Date: 07/08/2024

     I am rejecting this response because:

    There seems to be a communication problem. It is your responsibility to prove that I was parked illegally on the date that you claim. It is NOT my responsibility to send you pictures to prove that I was NOT parked illegally.

    Yes, you provided me with a picture of my license plate (not my vehicle, nor the location it was parked). But that does not mean that I was parked illegally, only that you managed to find a picture of my license place at an undetermined location and on an undetermined date and time.

    Please clarify what you mean in your last message: Are you saying that you are closing the file and cancelling the charge so that I do not owe you anything. Or are you saying that you are closing the BBB file but will continue to claim that I owe you money?

    I am rejecting this response because: As previously stated, unless you can provide me with concrete proof that my vehicle was parked illegally at the location and time you claim, your charge has no basis and as such I refuse to pay.

    I never stopped in a no stopping zone, especially not twice within half an hour. I drove with traffic at a busy time of day and pulled over in the proper zone to pick up passengers at arrivals. These pictures do not show anything of value and cannot be admissible, they provide no proof, because what the ticket is claiming simply did not happen. These tickets need to be cancelled completely.

    Hello,

    Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this comment. My Notice number is ******* from Indigo Park. I was picking my friend up from the Toronto Pearson International Airport in the afternoon on January 21st, 2024. That was my first time to drive to the airport and I had no clue how busy it was. There were many cars parking on the curbside, and I thought it was an eligible parking spot. I did not see the "no parking sign" on the ground because there were many cars and it was blocked. However, I do apologize for parking in the wrong place. I'm still a student and I don't have a job. I can't afford to pay for the ticket and I need the money for my education and living. Please void this ticket. Thank you for understanding and compassion.

    My Notice number is ******* from Indigo Park. I was picking my friend up from the Toronto Pearson Airport in the afternoon on December 17th, 2023. I saw many cars parking on the curbside, and I did not see the "no parking sign" on the ground at that time because there may be many cars and it was blocked. After I got the ticket, I went there to check out and paid more attention on the road curbside. Yes I found there're several small signages. It's not easy for the drivers who are not familiar that area to find out. I tried to contact Indigo Park to explaine but was not even succesful to access them. Unlike other parking tickets issued by police and local parking enforcement authorities, this ticket seems having no chance to negociate. This business seems not nice to public. Please help me to find the way to void this ticket. Thank you for understanding and compassion.

    Hello,

    Thank you for providing the photo capturing your vehicle. The information provided confirms the violation was issued correctly. You were not issued a violation at the Departures or Arrivals curb while dropping someone off, but because you parked along the shoulder of the highway leading into the Terminals. This is prohibited for public safety reasons. We have reviewed your case and have decided to reduce the vioilation to $60.

    Thank you.

    Claim# ******* and *******. License plate **** ***. On Aug 23 I was at *** airport and picking up a friend. I was initially parked in the cellphone lot but upon seeing my friends text message I headed to the designated airport pickup location. However, there my friend had a checked in bag go missing so was dealing with it at the airport and I had no choice but to circle around the airport. I should have gassed up before hand but I was running low on fuel and decided to stay put in a spot I deemed to be safe. There were 4 other cars in front of me and I did not notice the ******* parking signs. Furthermore, I believe I was ticketed twice for the same violation which I do not agree with. I only received a letter in the mail for the first fine *******, but not the second one *******, so it came as a devastating surprise to me. Before I thought I only had one ticket to pay but I found out I had to pay two. Please reconsider the fines as I was stressed at the time and dealing with financial misfortune.

    I recently received a Notice No:******* saying I had my vehicle parked leading on the road leading to/from the airport. This is something new to me and not all people are ware of this. I tried to contact Indigo at ************** twice and even left a voicemail giving my contact details for a callback.

    I strongly believe the charge issued to me is incorrect. There were no signs on the road saying "not to stop" and I parked on the roadside just to take a call for not more than 5 mins. Since there was no signages nor any warning symbols, I kindly request the team to waive my charges. As per the notice issued to me, the due date to pay the fine amount is 09/10/2023 and I request you to expedite my request.

Additionally, all highway access leading into the airport has large digital signage indicating "Parking along the shoulder may result in a $85 fine." 

    Unfortunately, your request has been denied. Please contact the call center to make payment arrangements or visit the payment portal, the link is located on the violation issued to you.

    Jun 14, 2023. Ticket #******* I went to pick up my daughter from the airport as she was coming from Vancouver to visit family. I always noticed cars parked leading to the terminal before and never knew it was a violation. I figured I would park along with other cars for the first time as I arrived a slightly early. I also thought it was okay becasue I didn't see any signs that I couldn't park there. I have reviewed my picture of proof for my violation, but it does not showcase enough evidence. It does not showcase enough surroundings and does not even showcase my vehicle. It does not showcase my vehicle was at an area where no parking or stopping. I would like to waive this ticket.
