Hotel St. Francis, Santa Fe, NM Parking Fine for $500, Santa Fe, New Mexico
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Hotel St. Francis, in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, allowed me to park my car in their lot where I received a $500
parking ticket from the City of Santa Fe.
As other cars where crowded in
narrow spaces, my car wheels were over the line into a handicapped parking
space. I asked C, the hotel clerk, if
this was acceptable. He came out, he
looked, and then he said yes. The next morning I had the $500 ticket, on
11/7/09.
Other hotel employees and City
police told me that tickets had been previously issued on the same space. After moving my car, another car was parked
in the space exactly as I had parked the day before.
I pressed Hotel St. Francis to
intervene with the city to remove my fine.
Out of their intervention, the police directed me to the liaison for the
municipal court where I wrote a letter begging for leniency. I offered to pay the fine pending the
hearing, but T, the court liaison, told me to wait until after the hearing.
Two months passed with two
letters, the second letter notarized and sent by certified mail and finally
they responded to give me a hearing.
J, the parking administrative manager, notified me by phone and stated
that the fine was reduced to $250. Would
I accept it or would I appeal?
Somewhere in the conversation it was mentioned that the earlier liaison
did not have authority, referring to my delayed payment of the fine???
I sent the payment for the fine,
and asked for a receipt. A month
passed. I sent another letter, notarized
and certified, and finally received a statement of my fine. It had been increased to $1000 before being
reduced to $250!
I asked the Hotel St. Francis to
reimburse me for the $250. S, the
general manager declined but did offer a free night if I should return to the
City of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I have obtained a list of tickets that were given over a two year period along the street for the hotel. A listing shows 33 tickets for Disabled Permit $30,000 along Don Gaspar Street. Also, 16 ticket for Disabled Other $13,000.
I will make a studied effort to avoid Santa Fe, New Mexico.
