Situations often arise when penalties for incorrect or unpaid parking are imposed on drivers who did not violate the rules. Employees of the traffic police and other responsible institutions sometimes make mistakes. Also, the fine system itself may fail by sending a notification receipt to the wrong recipient or for a different amount.

If the motorist is sure that he has not committed any violations, but has received a collection notice, he can appeal it directly to the sending organization itself or in court. Learn how to file a complaint about a parking ticket below.

The legislative framework

The main legal act regulating the rules for parking vehicles and the system of penalties for failure to comply with them is the Code of Administrative Offenses. This document contains the amount of penalties for a particular violation, as well as the procedure for their payment.

Motorists are advised to familiarize themselves with the following provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

Chapter 12 – about violations in which it is possible to pay only 50% of the amount of the penalty;
Part 1.3 of Article 32.2. – about methods of paying half of the fine;
Clause 1 of Article 30.3 – on the deadlines for appealing against illegal parking and other violations.

The imposition of penalties is entrusted not only to the traffic police, but also to other authorized authorities. For example, in Moscow, fines for unpaid parking in a paid parking zone are issued by the State Unitary Enterprise "AMPP" (State Unitary Enterprise "Administrator of the Moscow Parking Space"), and if the parking and stopping procedure is violated, the driver will receive a notification from MADI (Moscow Traffic Inspectorate).

Appealing a fine

In order to challenge the imposed penalty, you first need to clarify which institution issued it - further steps depend on this factor:

if the code begins with the numbers 782 (for a 20-digit combination) or 035604 (for a 25-digit combination) - this is a notification from MADI;
if the numbers 780 or 0355 appear at the beginning, then the fine was imposed by the AMPP for non-payment of parking. Such notices are sent automatically;
The combination of 188 starts with the codes for sanctions from the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Which court to involve

If the car owner has to act through the court, then he should contact this authority directly at the place of the violation. It is stated in the received notice of payment of the fine. The driver must know the name of the street and number of the nearest house where he parked the car incorrectly, and find a court of general jurisdiction or a magistrate court near this place.

Attention: The statement of claim along with the necessary documentation must be submitted within 10 days from the date of receipt of the fine receipt, which must also be attached to the claim.

Deadlines for appeal

You can challenge an administrative offense with the traffic police within 10 days from the date of receipt of notification of the fine (Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). If you were unable to use this period for a good reason, for example, you were in the hospital or on a business trip, then you are given the right to restore the missed period in court. To do this, fill out an application and attach documents (sick leave, travel certificate, etc.). In this case, the court is obliged to consider the complaint within 60 days.

You cannot appeal a traffic police fine directly to State Services. You can use the portal as an intermediary to go to the official website of the traffic police. Where you need to make an appeal and upload evidence. The period for challenging the fine is 10 days from the date of receipt .

How to appeal

How to appeal a fine from AMPP

Appealing a fine from the AMPP is the most common situation among incorrectly issued penalties. This is due to the fact that the functioning of the control system for paying for paid parking has not yet been fully established. Therefore, failures happen quite often. Submitting an application follows the general procedure, but the driver will need to put in a lot of effort to speed up the entire process. GKU specialists have a very busy schedule, so they do not always answer calls and often do not meet the deadlines for considering complaints.

In order to challenge a fine from the AMPP, you must be persistent and patient. Sometimes it happens that the driver paid for the wrong parking space. In this case, it’s easy to figure out - just show the paid receipt to prove that you’re right.

Thus, the procedure for appealing an incorrectly issued parking fine is quite lengthy, as it is related to the work of government agencies. Therefore, drivers must clearly formulate the text of the application and attach a complete package of documents so as not to make adjustments in the future.
