Hi,
I've received on mail a parking ticket from the Italian police for something they claim happened a year ago. (I live outside of Europe) In the ticket the car plate is mentioned correctly, but
the type of car isn't. I've rented LANCIA and they written FIAT.
I wonder if it is a case to appeal? They say that if I appeal and "loose" I'll pay a nee fee which will be at least 2x. (Currently is stands on ~80euro!!!) The other option they
mention is to appeal to their court. If I'll loose there I'll have to pay their taxes/fees...
So I kinda don't know what to do...
I do have a document from the caqr rent mentioning the type of car, they actually can check it also in their computer probably.
They could just made a mistake writing down the plate number for some FIAT and got to me. And is it valid at all a year after?
Thanks!

Who sent you the ticket, the rental company? If the police that they were given the address by the car rental company. Most non nationals ignore these tickets especially if they are never going back to the country in question, you could also try denying that it is a car that you have driven as the ticket is wrongly made out. In law any fault in the ticket can be used to deny that the correct vehicle has been ticketed.

Way one: just pay the penalty
Way two: get yourself in to something you are not sure about. You can mention that model of the car is not what you had. Send a copy of the proof. You will have a delay (long delay I suspect) while they will check that one out. It may during that time they decide that it's not worth it to continue any investigation. Postage will eat all profit. Good Luck

As you have described the situation, they have given a ticket to a car, with the same registration as one you rented, but have marked on the ticket that it was a different model of car to the one you rented.
I realise that it was in Italy, so the same may not apply, but if this had occurred in the UK the ticket would not be valid.

That's a good one.
Where I live it would cost more than 80 just to open the lawyers front door.
But in this case YOU can not prove that you were not driving a Fiat on that day, can you?

I also have a chum who replace into rushing. i mean rushing undesirable adequate to lose her licence. the officer that pulled her over wrote the eleventh rather of the 12th. she ended up getting the the excellent factor thrown out of courtroom. so which you're in success. opportunities are high particularly sturdy which you are able to no longer be out that $fifty 4

Simple answer... did you park where they claim this auto was? if so.. pay the fine and be done with it.. if not.. fight it.. but think about the time and frustration factor first...
Good Luck
