Is Premium Parking Revenue Services a Scam?

Premium Parking Revenue Services is a legally registered private parking management company — not a government entity. Their parking notices are civil demands, not government-issued citations. This is an important distinction that affects your rights and obligations. Here's the difference:

Government TicketPremium Parking Revenue Services Notice
Issued byPolice / Meter enforcementPrivate company
Legal statusCriminal/civil citationCivil demand letter
Affects licenseYesNo
Affects driving recordYesNo
Court enforceableYesRarely
Can go to collectionsN/AYes
Can affect creditVia courtVia collections

The key takeaway: a notice from Premium Parking Revenue Services does not carry the same legal weight as a ticket from your city or county. It is essentially a bill from a private business claiming you owe them money. Whether you actually owe it depends on the specific circumstances, the signage at the location, your state's laws, and whether you entered into a valid contract by parking there.

Your Rights If You Got a Notice From Premium Parking Revenue Services

Federal Protections That Apply to You

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)

If your notice is sent to a collections agency, you have 30 days from their first contact to demand debt validation. The collector must prove the debt is valid and that you owe it. During this time, they must stop collection efforts. This is one of your most powerful tools.

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

If the debt appears on your credit report, you can dispute it with all three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) under 15 U.S.C. § 1681i. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate and must remove any entry that cannot be verified.

Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA)

Under 18 USC 2721, private companies have limited rights to access your personal information through DMV records. If a company obtained your information improperly, you may have additional legal recourse.

What Premium Parking Revenue Services CAN Do

  • Send your unpaid notice to a collections agency
  • Potentially affect your credit score through collections

How to Dispute a Premium Parking Revenue Services Parking Ticket

1

Don't panic — this is a civil demand, not a criminal matter

A notice from Premium Parking Revenue Services may look official and use urgent language, but it is not a government citation. You will not be arrested. Your license will not be suspended. Take a breath and approach this methodically.

2

Gather your evidence

Collect everything that supports your case: payment receipts or confirmation emails, photos of the parking location and signage (or lack thereof), timestamps showing when you arrived and left, screenshots of any app payments or errors, and any correspondence from Premium Parking Revenue Services.

3

File a formal dispute with Premium Parking Revenue Services

Submit your dispute in writing. Send it via certified mail with return receipt requested to Premium Parking Revenue Services, Attn: Dispute Resolution, 1515 Arapahoe St, Tower 1 Suite 700, Denver, CO 80202. You can also submit online at https://premiumparking.com/dispute but always keep a paper trail. Include your notice number, a clear explanation of why you are disputing, and copies (not originals) of your evidence.

4

Send a debt validation demand if it goes to collections

If a collections agency contacts you, send a debt validation letter within 30 days via certified mail. Under the FDCPA (15 U.S.C. § 1692g), they must provide proof that the debt is valid and that you owe it. They must stop all collection activity until they provide validation.

5

File complaints with your AG and the CFPB if they don't resolve it

If Premium Parking Revenue Services ignores your dispute or the collections agency fails to validate the debt, escalate. File a complaint with your state Attorney General's consumer protection division and with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. These agencies track complaint patterns and can take enforcement action.

What Other People Are Saying

Based on public BBB complaints, online reviews, and regulatory filings, common complaints about Premium Parking Revenue Services include:

1

System payment failures causing false violations

Multiple consumers report that Premium Parking Revenue Services's payment systems fail to register valid payments, resulting in erroneous notices. If you paid and still received a notice, you likely have a strong case for dispute.

2

Ticketing cars that already paid

This is one of the most commonly reported issues. Consumers who have valid payment confirmations are still receiving notices. Payment receipts and confirmation emails serve as strong evidence in disputes.

3

Automated denials of valid disputes

Consumers report that disputes submitted through official channels are automatically denied without meaningful review. Sending disputes via certified mail and escalating to your state AG can produce better results.

4

Notices sent to wrong vehicles

Reports indicate that LPR (License Plate Recognition) technology sometimes misreads plates or assigns charges to the wrong vehicle. If you were not at the location, demand photographic evidence of your vehicle.
