I live in Colorado. I parked in a private lot. I paid the fee to be there until 6pm. It would have been another $10 to stay all night. Got back at 6:10pm and there was a ticket on my windshield. Made to look like an official ticket (yellow envelope, orange markings on ticket), but on the bottom in tiny print it said it was not a city ticket. Ticket was for $75. No signs in lot saying that was fee for overstaying. I ignored it.
Few weeks later I got a letter from a lawyer saying they were collecting on debt and if I did not contest within 30 days, in writing, through mail, they would consider it a valid debt.
Question is, I never agreed to pay this amount. Can they really hit my credit for something I never agreed to pay?
