Will parking tickets cost me a job?

Normally they will not even show up.  But I would pay them.\n\nalso how much background are they going to do,  When I went to work for the Justice Dept they sent investagators to every house I lived in for 10 years, talked to neighbors in those houses,  Went to my college and my highschool and talked to teachers there.\n\nSo while anything is possible, I doubt it. ( may want to consider parking out a ways and taking a bus in)

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

The amount of parking fees spent going to work can be deducted (maybe) and the way to deduct these expenses is to use IRS Form 2106.  Here is the form:  \nhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2106.pdf\n\n and here are the instructions for the form:  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i2106.pdf. \n\nYou are allowed to use this form to deduct "ordinary and necessary expenses for your job".  This means you can only use this form if you work for someone else as an employee.  However, if you work for yourself, it IS a cost of doing business and can be put on your Schedule C (or 1120 or 1120S or 1065).\n\nAs you can see, the amount from form 2106 carries the Schedule A to be included with the rest of your itemized deductions.  You should read through the instructions and see if there is anything else that you are footing the bill for that you could deduct as well.  \n\nThanks for the question!

The tickets can affect your credit rating too!!\n\nI had $500 in parking tickets in NY (under my fathers car) and he was denied a home loan until it was taken care of -- and he had 100% perfect credit!!

Not even close.  I go to great lengths to avoid it.  I have had a few parking tickets for being more than so many feet from the curb.  If that had been a requisite for the driver's test (oh those many years ago) as I think it is in California, I would have failed and still would not have a license.

YES!!!! i heard janitors make $27.00 and hour... parking lot cleaners make $15.00 an hour.. and if you have your own broom... they'll give you a company car.

I would.  That's a ridiculous reason to ticket someone.  You have a chance of winning and if not, the worst that could happen is you get the exact fine that you have now.  You have nothing to lose but a few hours out of your day.

I totally agree- the best you can do is post a handicap only sign and antoher one saying violators will be towed at owners expense.  If these are clearly marked then you can call and have them towed if a non-eligible person parks there.  As long as you specify towing at owners expense you cannot be charged for anything.\n\nThis is why we live in a nation where the largest health risk is obesity- people are too damn lazy to walk the 10 feet across the parking lot!

Probably at some kind of park or something but you will probably have to pay.

NO.  Unpaid parking tickets will, however, be placed on your registration renewal fees!

Depends on how much the ticket is.  Seems like you have a good case, weather or not you can tell your side to the judge. Sometimes, you talk to a person before the court and they make recommendations.  If you want to fight, write your facts down before hand and go for it. Otherwise, if it's not too much $$, write it and the experience off. Sorry, to hear your situation, doesn't sound fair from your side.  Best of luck

As far as I know you will have to pay the fee.\n\n Also be careful 7 months!!!  They could end up selling your car after a while.  Go to the impound lot and see what their policy is.  \n\nIf the people at your apartment complex towed your car illegally you can probably sue them in court, but you are going to need proof.  \n\nIf you were in the wrong though, there is nothing you can do, but pay the fine.

First, You're not being petty, but realistic. That is the way life is. Rank has it's privileges. Second, it starts with the parking spot, then moves on to something else. The parking spot stealing is not the problem but rather a symptom of some issues the young lady has with something or someone. Last, congratulations for having an employer that looks out for his long term employees. Your employer could of said work it out yourselves and then sat back and watched as the battle raged on.

They can. They will most likely issue a bench warrant for your arrest.\nWhether they come looking for you is the issue then. usually they don't even bother. However, if you get pulled over again with a bench warrant, it is straight to jail until the judge can see you at HIS convenience.\nThere are cases where they show up at your workplace and get you. they don't like it when you waste their time.Plus, to top it off, you have to pay to have the warrant removed, pay the ticket, and pay the failure to appear fine.\nNot worth it, just go!!!

If you are talking about a parking lot, then yes.  During a ride along, we issued 2 tickets to those who parked in a handicapped space without any permit.  It can be a pretty costly mistake.

Just keep telling yourself you're going to court over a TRAFFIC TICKET not rape, theft, burglary or worse...just a simple ticket. Kinda silly to get all worked up over that isn't it?? Everything will be fine...what's the worst that can happen?? You're gonna walk out alive and into the rest of your life owing a lil money and some points on your license..it's definitely not the end of the world. Good luck!!

Yes you can easily fight this one and should. All tickets should be litigated. They are just using you as a profit center. Time to stop this.
