This is a huge mostly empty parking lot with a giant sign that says PUBLIC PARKING. There's no gate, no guard or ticket booth. I, like many others, pulled into the lot and parked. We spent our morning enjoying ***********, my birth place, on my birthday. Upon return to my vehicle, there was a sign (attached) stuck to my window which stated my vehicle was immobilized. I called the numbers provided because my vehicle had been "booted". An employee soon showed up and charged me $135 before he would unboot my vehicle. I was forced to pay then, no options. Myself (a gov ********** a visiting policeman and another guest (an Air Force Lieutenant) of my party all got this fine/fee of $135 within 20 mins of each other. It's a total scam. I want my $135 back and want them stopped before they ruin the tourism in ****. I would have gladly paid a reasonable parking fee. The issue here is the booting and those making a fortune off of it at the cost of the visiting tourist. I'm sure they will claim that it was written somewhere. However, it cannot be seen pulling into the parking lot. The writing would have to be as large as the PUBLIC PARKING sign. In order to open a claim, they want me to pay yet another $50. Once again, robbery.Business Response

Public parking is parking that is available to the general public and is not restricted to tenants or visitors of a building or complex - it does not mean the parking is free. This is a pre-paid parking lot with a pay station with several options for paying the parking fees. There are also signs posted all around the parking lot. No credit is due.Initial Complaint

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an incident that occurred on August 1, 2024, at approximately 9:19 AM, involving the illegal booting of two vehicles belonging to two young African-American women at the ************* Traffic Court located on ***********Both women had paid in advance for parking. Despite this, their vehicles were improperly booted, causing significant distress and trauma. This action not only humiliated and inconvenienced them, but also displayed a lack of professionalism and empathy on the part of the individual responsible for booting their vehicles.The "booter" behaved in a highly unprofessional manner and exacerbated the situation by threatening to leave the devices on the vehicles, reacting negatively to the emotional response from one of the young women's mothers, who was speaking with her daughter over the phone. Furthermore, by booting their vehicles after they had already paid for parking, the "booter" effectively detained these women against their will, which is both unlawful and unacceptable.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: A simple apology is insignificant for the harm that was caused. I will be reaching out to your insurance company to file a claim for this illegal action.

date of transaction: Feb. 3, 2024 in ***********, LA ***** XC90 license LLG 8093 I paid for a ********************** pass and parked in what I thought was the correct spot for a performance in ***********. I was booted and had to pay $115 to get the boot taken off. I called the number on the ticket **************. They were not able to provide me with any information except that I should dispute the payment through their system. I did so on Feb. 14, 2024. After hearing nothing back from them, I resubmitted the dispute on March 21, 2024. I still have heard nothing back from them. It is now July 18, 2024.This is my dispute: I paid $47 for a premium parking pass through an app. I spent the morning of the show on the phone with the ticket issuer trying to get a retransfer request. When that did not show up in my email within 2 hours of when the parking was needed, I then had to contact the app service at *********. The man I spoke to at **** Whiz put the license on the ********************** "pass" when we were stopped at a red light and I could get out to read it. This was literally around the corner from the parking lot. We had the address of ********************** in the navigation system, and it took us to the lot where we parked. We parked where we thought we were supposed to. The premium parking and the go park spaces were on the same lot, which both also said 1000 Perdido. There was not a different name on the lots. The entrances were right there together, and all we had was the address. There were plenty of spaces open in the go park area. I paid for premium parking in ***********; I assume because of the way the lots were situated and marked that the same company owned both lots. I brought one vehicle and did not move it. I should not have to pay for two parking spots nor should my car have been booted. I appreciate your time in considering this issue.Business Response

I was driving a rental car and parked in a paid parking garage. The parking meter was broken so sign said you use a parking app. I downloaded and paid for 3 hours of parking. There were no parking space numbers. I typed in the plate # wrong as I couldn't see it from where I was. Checked out the town for 90 min and returned to find 2 boots on my rental car with a sign taped to the window. Basically a ****** note. You'll have to call this # and pay $110 to get the boot removed. *** showed up and I showed him my receipt and explained to him what I did. So he acknowledges that I paid for parking as he did not charge me $110. He charged me $90 to remove the boot. This is crooked. They are not the police. I bet a parking ticket wouldn't be $90. I want my $90 back and an apology. I made a slight mistake and you took advantage. You booted the car 10 min after I paid for parking! Were you waiting around the corner?Business Response

Signs are posted and all parking fees must be paid in advance per vehicles license plate #. By not following the parking lot rules, operators had no way of knowing that you paid for the vehicle on the lot and you were penalized for non payment. The $25 was the parking rate for all day but since you showed you did pay with the wrong license plate # that was waived and you were only charged the $90 penalty fee for violating the parking lot rules. No refund is due.Customer Answer

I was booted on April 25th in a electric vehicle zone. Parking is allowed for 2hrs while plugging in the vehicle. I left the parking spot before the 2 hrs was up. I got called back to my workplace which is Sukoshi in *******************. When I came back I parked at the same spot. When I came back out to the car it was booted. I called the boot company to get the boot removed and asked why I was booted in the first place. He (agent ID # ***** said that I was parked there for more than 2 hrs. I explained that the panel would have been flashing if my car was there for more than 2 hrs which it was not flashing. I explained that I left and was called back to handle something at work. The security said there are no cameras and I am trying to get a hold of the property manager. I should have never been booted because I didnt have the car there for more than 2 hrs. I am requesting a refund of *****.Business Response

I use the parking lot at 1619 ******** everyday for work. I pay everyday. March 6, 2024 was no different. The machine ran out of paper so I couldnt put the receipt in my windshield. Your company booted my car even though I paid for parking in the lot. The machine is out of paper so I provided by bank statement that shows the only purchases made today was the parking fare and the bogus charge to remove the boot. I feel as though booting my car was extreme and not fair to a loyal paying customer of the lot. I was cited for failure to display. How can I display when the machine ran out of paper? I pay that machine everyday and he cited the reason for the boot for failure to display and non payment. The man who arrived to take off the boot also reeked of alcohol and didnt seem like he was all there in the head.Business Response

The cardholder parked on BW Enterprises 3312 ******** lot. This lot only uses the Parkmobile parking app to pay for parking. He then walked across the lot, passed a Parkmobile sign, and paid a different app on 3308 ******** run by Professional Parking Solutions. There are different entrances for each lot and different rates as well. He parked and paid the wrong lot and company.
