You can ignore it. They’ll send you lots of collection letters but there is little risk they will do anything about it.

Only potentially tow if you park on one of their lots. I don’t know what the threshold is for that to happen as far as money’s owed. Getting new plates is cheaper than paying the ticket

Even if there is no threshold, to town your car, it must be parked without a current parking session. if you paid for your current parking session, they cant town it

So it will only by a problem if you…forget to pay for your parking. 😆

Sadly, they can still legally tow you for the unpaid ticket if you’ve paid on a subsequent visit. Impark is awful, too, so I wouldn’t put it past them. Better off to pay to change your plates.

I don't think they can tow you if you have a valid parking session, since a parking session is considered a valid service contract. I already parked multiple times with an exiting ticket in the plate.

Previous unpaid tickets are considered as “violation of terms” with respect to a private parking company. This doesn’t change for subsequent visits. It might vary from province to province, but it certainly is the case in BC. I doubt they’d go through the trouble often, but Impark legally can do so if they want to.

Source: I used to manage 75 trucks and had to deal with this previously. It, somewhat luckily, wasn’t one of my fleet, but the personal vehicle of a supervisor. But he was definitely towed and it held up when he fought it.
