Man Gets 9 Parking Tickets for Someone Else's Car

Eric got many parking tickets.

A man named Eric got many parking tickets, even though he never parked in the lot. He got 9 tickets over 7 months from Horizon Parking.

Eric says he didn't do anything wrong, but the tickets kept coming. He thinks someone used black tape to make his license plate look like another one.

Eric thinks someone in another part of the country used tape to change an L to an E on their license plate, making it look like his. The tickets started in March 2025 and stopped in October after he contacted the police and others.

Eric is still waiting for an apology from Horizon Parking. He's worried it could happen again.

Eric told a consumer group that he felt frustrated and didn't believe the police or others would help him. He sent letters and emails, but the tickets kept coming.

Eric was frustrated because he thought the problem would continue for a long time. After the second ticket, he told the police, the DVLA, and his insurance company.

The tickets kept coming for 7 months, and Eric got 9 of them. He's still not sure what happened.

Eric is frustrated because he doesn't know what to do. He never got a full explanation or an apology from Horizon Parking or the police.

A website that helps people save money says you shouldn't pay a parking fine if you don't think it's fair. These fines are like invoices and can't be enforced.

If you get a parking fine, you should collect evidence like photos and letters. Then, you can complain to the company that owns the parking lot.

You can challenge the fine with the company, but be careful not to say who was driving. If you can't resolve it, you can appeal to a higher authority.

Remember that appealing a fine means you're accepting the appeals process, which is run by the parking industry.

Horizon Parking was asked to comment on the situation.
