Why is there a lawsuit?
The lawsuit alleges Florida Parking Co. sent citations that overstated the consequences of non-payment—such as credit damage or registration holds—and used terms like “citation” or “fine” to mimic government tickets, violating Florida debt-collection law. The company denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation.
