Expert Advice When You Need It Most
They got my license plate number wrong. Do I need to pay the parking ticket?
I received a ticket on my dashboard last night from a U-Park lot in downtown Seattle. They noted my license plate, but were off by one digit. They did get the right make, model, stall #, and state.

Morally you know the ticket is yours and you should pay. However, legally you can probably refuse to pay and most likely successfully defend against the ticket due to the fact that the license plate number will not match. Lastly, they might have some difficulty in tracking you down since the license plate numbers won't match.
