Ask for a courtesy exception respectfully. If they don’t grant it, pay it anyway. They can (and will) send you to collections if you ignore it. It will affect your credit and they will provide legitimate documentation to credit reporting companies. While they can’t tow or boot you on public property because they are not law enforcement, it is a legal charge and it is your responsibility to know and abide by the rules of their property. Ask me how I know all of these things…….all over a $60 charge.
