I had the unfortunate opportunity to be fined for Ampco parking after I had paid for all day parking. On the beginning of June I parked at 18th and Lincoln in Denver for an all day parking pass. I then proceeded to work all day. 45 days later I received a a letter from Ampco stating that I owed $80.00 for a day of parking that I paid for. I then called Ampco in which the employee was the rudest I have ever met, worse than the DMV and SSN offices combined. She proceeded to tell me I needed a transaction to show proof that I paid for that day and to send it to the appeals department.
I obviously did not have a little reciept from 45 days ago so I pulled up my bank account and statements. I sent them the transaction that stated the exact amount, the exact day and the parking lot. AMPCO returned with an email stating that they need the ticket stub and that was the only way for them to really know. I then provided AMPCO with the transaction number for the parking and again another email stating the need the stub from 45 days ago. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and received nothing.
They said I also should have received a ticket on my car which I did not receive. So not only did I not receive a ticket and they will not take a transaction from my bank I was late and received an $80.00 fine from a $10.00 parking ticket in which I paid for. If I were anyone driving in Denver or from out of town I would highly watch out for AMPCO parking as they are crooks, horrible customer serivce and price gouging their own customers. I would be taking them to small claims court however I find that I am going to write horrible reviews from them on every website, blog, twitter and in every city will be much more effective.
Have a great day Ampco and your wonderful customer service.
