NYC Pay or Dispute Reviews

I submitted a dispute according to specifications and instructions offered on the ticket ,within the 14 days allotted on the ticket. I received in the mail an Impending Default Judgement for $30 more. When I looked on the sight offered it said that my hearing was past and I was found guilty. I never received a reply to my dispute submission and defense. I didn’t receive any notification as to why my submission was rejected and why I was found guilty. It just seems like a money grab ,and not designed to be a fair process where those who do respond via the sites given are alerted to the results of the hearing. What is sent is another punitive notification for more money. Please make changes to be fair to all in this process. Thank you.

I generally enjoy and appreciate using NYCPayorDispute. It keeps things really simple and quick! However one time I submitted a dispute for a ticket (issued on a religious holiday when parking rules were suspended, so I was 100% in the right, and it was the officer’s mistake in issuing the ticket, and normally the ticket would definitely be dropped after I’d dispute it — parking cops have made this mistake before, it’s NBD) however there was an app glitch and I couldn’t tell if it went through or not. The particular parking ticket listed on NYCPayorDispute would always glitch, so I check in every week and it was still unclear if my dispute went through or not, and I couldn’t edit ourThe particular parking ticket listed on NYCPayorDispute would always glitch, so I check in every week and it was still unclear if my dispute went through or not, and I couldn’t edit our altar, or even pay it (if I had actually wanted to). This eventually led to a double fine,, because the city had no record of me issuing my dispute. So I am out over $125 for this problem because of NYCPayorDispute … but outside of that one instance NYCPayorDispute has been great.

I can’t even scan a ticket and when you go to manually enter only numbers are available no letters. I searched by license plate and says no results when I have 6 tickets pending and I postponed 2 tickets so I know for a fact they are all registered but for some reason NYCPayorDispute is useless I can’t do anything and I was hoping this 4.7 rating was real but clearly there’s a glitch as you see in the reviews it’s impossible NYCPayorDispute has that rating. I just want NYCPayorDispute to work as advertised. Unfortunately not even close it needs to be updated asap. Frustrating after 10tries I quit and I even deleted and reinstalled and nothing still freezes on camera and can’t enter letters just numbers. Terrible experience because as we all know Nyc NYCPayorDispute nor website work so they just want to suspend your license and extort you as much as possible in their crooked system. Constantly harassed and no way to dispute just accept that everyone is guilty and thats why Staten Island has the highest conviction rate in the entire country.. Hmm wonder why..

Sad to say but ny has made a new hardship for minorities in nyc. I’m not always right but it’s the minority areas that get flooded with these lights. Many places i see that have races and regular speeding in places like Long Island with way less cameras than Jamaica queens. Some tickets I’ve seen are 3 mph over the speed limit, the average person can’t take a day off work to fight a ticket. Even if cameras faulty the average person can’t afford to miss a day of work to go to court and lose whether right or wrong. Believe it or not nyc’s middle class is under attack. Soon nyc will only be for the rich by no mistake, it’s all pre planned to keep the minority areas down and keep the rich even richer. Stay woke.....

Being in NY, the state that robs you on any given basis, you’re going to get robbed. Might as well make the robbing efficient right? NYCPayorDispute gives adequate enough detailing to pay those alternative street cleaning tickets, while never cleaning the streets, and unexplainable speeding tickets at maximum proficiency. Try getting anything else from the DMV and you’ll notice all their resources are allocated to strictly robbing you. My favorite part is them keeping your license plate as a profile so you can quickly search up how much they’re going to rob you. Would highly recommend if you’re a driver in NY because you’re screwed the moment you sign the lease :)

Fast, simple, straightforward app to use. Saves some information in your profile, which can’t be done on the website. But you should be able to add your bank info once and have it saved as a payment option for all future transactions. If there’s a concern about someone sneakily using NYCPayorDispute to pay my parking tickets or others, put the whole app behind Touch ID.

Also, it would be more convenient if there was an option to autofill (or default to) your saved vehicle when searching by license plate. though I will admit the way it’s set up currently is also easier than using the website.

All in all, a pretty good app. Just a few improvements that I think would make it as painless as paying parking tickets can be.

We all get tickets. Every single one of us parks in correctly in New York due to our crappy signs, terrible parking rules, and just general over congestion when you want to run inside of a Starbucks and get a quick cup of coffee before being late to work when you run back outside you realize that you’re getting a ticket. It’s just the way life goes. Praise be that there’s an app that makes paying the government as easy as downloading entering your information and proceeding to cry cause you run out of all funds. Where do the taxes go? Do is it matter? You won’t think so when you see how easy it is to pay your ticket

I used NYCPayorDispute to pay a parking ticket, it went very smooth. Then one rainy day, I find what looked like a ticket next to my car as I went to move it for street cleaning. If there was any writing on this ticket, it had washed off so I had no idea if it was even for my car, or what the # was. Just to be sure I regularly used the “look up ticket by license plate” feature in NYCPayorDispute which consistently came up with no results for over a month (yes, all my info was correct). Finally, I got a letter in the mail saying I had an over due ticket! Luckily this letter had the ticket number on it, and low-and-behold it is in the system assigned to my license plate, which was still turning up no results. I will note that it did work on the first ticket, and so I trusted it, only to be let astray at my expense.

My advice: just pay by mail or online, don’t waste your time or loose money on this database-hemroid.

Are you like me and find yourself always arriving to your car while the ticket guard is taking your info? “It’s too late” they murmur as you reflect on what you were doing over the previous 5 minutes. That cup of coffee was already expensive, let’s add $65 to it!! Catch a break, ya right!! No chance. Manhattan desperately needs your $65 as billions in tax dollars flock South in hopes of not getting screwed like you are with your NYC parking tickets! Anyway, NYCPayorDispute is easy and makes giving your money away effortless! Thank you NYC Pay (and apparently Dispute but good luck winning)

I hate New York and there super thirsty and complicated excessive way that they ticket cars. However NYCPayorDispute does make it easy for me to see if my car has any tickets on it from cameras etc. I can also check on my mothers car as well which helps when we have to dispute. The picture process is a bit complicated. Since this process is through the phone on NYCPayorDispute it should not be that complicated to upload picture evidence when disputing your ticket. Other than that .. excessive tickets given out my meter maids and the uploading pictures. Convenient app

Always, always research, google and take pictures when you think you have the perfect parking spot after circling block after block!! It’s usually WRONG! Even if seasoned New Yorkers say it’s fine, ITS PROBABLY NOT!! After getting my lovely 115$ ticket plus fee, I read the rules of parking near a bus stop. Even if there is room enough for a bus and a half, the law is you can’t park from the next parking sign until the bus sign! EVERY TIME, I am helping someone out in NYC, I get a gold star for doing so in the form of a $100+ ticket! I will park in NJ and take the bus in... This city is NOT car user friendly, it’s actually Hostile!!

Just used NYCPayorDispute for the first time. Love a few things right off the bat. I really like being able to access my tickets using my license plate and or being able to search individually. I absolutely love the variety of payment options and being given to option to pay all at once or being able to choose which ones I want to pay. I haven’t used the dispute option. But so far so good! As soon as I paid my ticket i received an email. Finally there’s an easy app instead of going thru multiple websites to pay! Makes it very accessible for those of us who travel!

NYCPayorDispute is always good to check for your tickets and pay your tickets it’s so convenient. I ran my friends license plates and I showed him how much tickets they had and it was like wow and I told him like you have a about five judgments against your name You better pay now before you got to pay for tow truck or pay a taxi cab to bring you to pick up your car. NYCPayorDispute is so good and helps you avoid all that shenanigans. Like taxi cab, boots, asking a friend for a car ride to pick up your car it’s just too much too costly and too embarrassing.

I love NYCPayorDispute. Once you submit your information it is saved and in case you get a ticket it is so easy to enter the info by scanning the barcode on the ticket and dispute the ticket and pay it online or searching the ticket by plate search.

You can save all your info such as plate number, address, phone number and email and it comes in handy because you don’t have to enter it everyday you dispute of pay a ticket it’s already saved on NYCPayorDispute .

I really like NYCPayorDispute. I disputed a parking ticket in less then 3 minutes.

To dispute a ticket seems pretty simple and straight forward. I havent received a decision yet on my dispute so i should really wait to write this review lol but to be unbiased i'll go ahead and do it now. Like i said its very simple the reason i gave it 3 stars is because they only accept certain image formats. How do you create an app for a platform/cell phone manufacturer and not make your app compatible with the standard image format of that phone? I had to find a site to convert a phoro taken on my iphone to a different format just so i can uplaod it as evidence. Other than that NYCPayorDispute seems like it does what it is supposed to do. I'll update this when i receive a decision. Lol

Writing a defense in this format is nearly impossible. You can’t read what you’ve written and must constantly go in and out of writing mode to read and edit what you’ve written. Since NYCPayorDispute only accepts Jpgs all photos must be converted which is another unfortunate wrinkle that adds time and frustration to the process. Is it set up like this so you’ll just give up, pay the ticket even if you think that you have been wrongly ticketed???I would almost pay $65 to avoid this frustrating, ill-conceived nightmarish process. I had to enter all the required information at least six times before it was acceptable to NYCPayorDispute . There is something the matter with a process that is this complicated.

They give you tickets for violations that you can’t possibly avoid (entrapment) and make it impossible to appeal the decision online. If you can plead not guilty online, why in the world would you not be able to appeal the decision online. Giving bogus tickets and tricking people into being forced to pay them... when did NYC become Mexico? So poor and I’m so disgusted right now. Of course, you can PAY the ticket online... but you can’t appeal a decision online. This is why everyone hates the city. Instead of having offices line up to assign tickets to every single person who couldn’t make it through the impossibly short light, why not sent them to catch criminals? Oh yeah, because that doesn’t bring in revenue. SO POOR and I am so mad I have half a mind to dispute my credit card payment.

A gigantic upgrade over previous interactions with the DMV and DOF, but NYCPayorDispute is not without flaws. Most notably: When filling out the longer forms (billing name and address, for instance), the bottom of the form becomes unviewable because NYCPayorDispute doesn’t shift above the keyboard interface. As a result, you can’t actually see the last boxes you are trying to fill in and you can only reach them by “stretching” the keyboard down with one finger to make them visible in the interaction window. Still, good on the city for getting with the digital era!

UPDATE: The option to upload a picture does not work. It will close NYCPayorDispute and you will have to start all over. At this time you have no choice but to take a picture (so make sure you have good lighting).

Very user friendly. It’s quick and saves stamp $ and a trip to a mailbox/post office. If disputing: You can provide evidence from your phone in the form of a picture, you can give a description of why you want to dispute a ticket. I highly recommend. Thanks!

I found NYCPayorDispute very easy to download. The site is very user-friendly and self-explanatory. It covers everything that is necessary for you to dispute your parking ticket. It allows you plenty of characters to type in the reasons or reason why you believe your ticket should be dismissed. It also provides ample space to download Photos which support your claim as evidence. I highly recommend NYCPayorDispute , if it is necessary for you to either pay or plead not guilty to your parking ticket.

I was super surprised there was an app for this most places have a website but of course NYC is always ahead of the curb. Registration was a breeze & there is a huge section to write your dispute. At first I wasn’t sure that I would be able to upload an image because the option comes up @ the end but lo & behold you can & that was quick and easy as well. All & all disputing my ticket via NYCPayorDispute was a breeze & not that I expect to get another ticket 😉 but I will keep it just in case.

NYCPayorDispute makes it easy to upload evidence into the system to help clarify innocence.

Not so much NYCPayorDispute , one big opportunity to improve the experience is to reduce the amount of lag between ticket issuing vs when it’s available in the system.

One time I was given a parking ticket even though I had paid the meter using the ParkNYC app. But I had to wait a week before NYCPayorDispute let me dispute because apparently the ticket hadn’t yet been submitted into the system. (During that time I could have misplaced the paper ticket!)

No one likes to get a parking ticket but at least NYC makes it easy to pay or dispute. And the dispute process actually works! I got a ticket for parking in a taxi zone where the signs were contradictory: one said "no parking 7am-7pm". and the one right above it said "taxi stand:" no parking any time". I submitted pics of the signs through NYCPayorDispute and the DMV dismissed the ticket.

Other times when I know I've been wrong and hoped to get lucky (oops) NYCPayorDispute let me pay the ticket almost immediately.

The only problem is that it often takes several days for a ticket to appear here. But you can still dispute it in advance while the systems catch up.

It would be better to just not get parking tickets, but NYCPayorDispute is the next best thing.

Please do yourself a favor and dispute your tickets in person. I submitted enough documentation to have a ticket voided. I was found guilty and no explanation was given. The DMV is a joke as well when they were the reason that the ticket was given. They failed to send registration documents that were paid for 5 weeks before the ticket was issued. They had the audacity to tell me to pay the fee again. Through all this and proof of payment was given to this poor excuse of a bureau, I was still found guilty. All this while certain people commit parking violations everyday in the Flatbush area. Double parking during alternate side, etc. Keep collecting your money off hard working citizens. You directly reflect your trashy Mayor.

I don’t get it. I consider myself pretty tech savvy and I couldn’t get this to work. I scanned the ticket and it brought it up right away-smooth. Then it kept saying no info on this ticket. Even though it had the scan and the image of the ticket. Oh technology making our lives more complicated. Maybe something I did wrong??? I ended up paying it on the website instead. So I hope this works for other people. Paying parking tickets should be as painless and easy as possible because is painless and easy for parking cops to hand them out.
