My mother-in-law had a similar issue when she visited Chicago from Michigan last summer. We had placed a guest pass in the window of her vehicle so she could park on our residential street. (A guess pass is a temporary parking permit that allows non-residents to park on residential streets. You write in the date and time the car will be parked there - 24 hours total per pass displayed.) Everything was in order and when she left the next day, there was no ticket - as there shouldn't be. Yet 3 weeks later she receives in the mail at home in Michigan a ticket for $120 saying she parked without a pass. The ticket had two things wrong on it - 1) The street name was listed as Corliss Ave (no such street exists in Chicago) 2) The photos they sent along were complete black. No image. She also still had the pass in the glove box of her car and it had the dates written on it. She sent a letter and the pass via mail and within a few weeks received a letter saying the ticket was dismissed. This was very well documented and an interesting read.

He'll love this! This was a great read but how many people would have the same level of determination and organization you did to deal with this? I tried contesting by mail once and that was a total failure. I know Mike from The Expired Meter and he's a great guy. He'll love this!
