    Default Parking Ticket That I Didn't Receive is in Collection

    It's also on my credit report.
    The car was originally my brothers for which the ticket was issued. Then he sent it to his father overseas. I have never received a parking ticket on that car, my brother doesn't live in my state and rarely ever drives it when in state.
    Neither of us have any knowledge of the parking ticket otherwise I'd rather pay for it then deal with this.

    With all this said, I told the same thing to the collection agency about a year ago and they took it off my credit report and told me the it was a mistake. Yesterday I checked my credit report and it's back on there... it said, 86 dollars at this point. When I went to the collection agency and typed in the case# it told me the balance was $96. It doesn't show any other information but since it was on my credit report obviously they think the debt belongs to me. I disputed it on my credit report and today it's already been taken off.

    How do I stop this from reoccurring, I almost want to pay the fee just to get them away from my credit score but then I would be admitting the guilt.

    Keep in mind I've only had 1 discussion about this over the phone with a girl who supposedly took it off. My address is still the same, my phone number is the same but they never ever contacted me again about getting this resolved.

    Odds are they removed the ticket temporarily due to your protest, then confirmed that the debt was valid and relisted it. They can list a valid debt owed to a court, and your insisting that the court made a mistake doesn't affect either that the court (or its agent) reports you as owing the money or that a credit reporting agency may report that fact.

    You seem to be stating that the ticket was issued when your brother owned the car. If that's true, why isn't he getting hit up for payment? And are you stating that the car itself was shipped overseas, and later shipped back - and what does that have to do with your question?

    I didn't have the car in my possession when the ticket was issued. It was shipped overseas for good. I have nothing to hide here it's simply a 30 dollar parking ticket from what I understood that doesn't belong to me. The car was never registered to me. I think they might have called my brothers home number but usually I would know that since we both check the voicemail.
    I don't even care to pay 90 bucks right now so long as it stays off my credit report but I don't think it will. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of a mistake.

    If the car was never registered to you, how can the ticket be appearing on your credit history? How are you associated with the ticket?

    Probobly cuz I have recieved a parking ticket in that car before?? When my brother is in town he has also recieved several parking tickets but we always either contest them or pay them. This particular one though really doesn't fall within the time frame that the car was in United States. Nor does it make any sense that it's in my name, unless my brother signed me up without my knowledge, which he didn't.
    Once again, this isn't about the money, I'll pay for it right now knowing it will stay off my credit report. Right now it's off my credit report again.
