Where to appeal a fine for illegal parking

GKU "AMPP" notifies all car owners that the effect of Part 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (on payment of half the amount of the administrative fine) DOES NOT APPLY to fines imposed for committing offenses provided for in Part 2 of Article 8.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Moscow ("Non-payment for placement of a vehicle in a paid city parking lot"), and therefore such fines must be paid in full.

The possibility of paying half the amount of an administrative fine is provided only when paying a fine imposed for committing certain offenses provided for in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

The deadline for paying an administrative fine is sixty days from the date the decision to impose an administrative fine comes into force. Based on clause 1 of Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a complaint against a resolution in a case of an administrative offense can be filed within ten days from the date of delivery or receipt of a copy of the resolution.

Appealing a parking fine in Moscow

Many Moscow motorists have encountered situations where a parking fine was dubious and ambiguous. Sometimes a fine can be imposed on completely ridiculous grounds. But few people know what to do in such cases and whether it is worth appealing. Given the Moscow traffic, unfounded accusations may constantly be made. And the fines for illegal parking in Moscow today are quite considerable. For the average person, an appeal ends in a useless trip to the traffic police.

If you approach this process more preparedly, then getting a satisfactory result in appealing a parking fine in Moscow will not be difficult.

Normative base

One of those cases when parking is considered illegal is a violation of the rules of stopping and parking in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 1090, paragraph 12. The fine for violating them in Moscow ranges from 2.5 to 5 thousand rubles. Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for arrest for up to 15 days for failure to pay a fine. It is worth noting that such punishment is provided only for evasion of payment, but not in cases where the driver had a good reason.

Illegal parking is considered if it is done in the wrong place or is not paid for. In all other cases, the motorist will be right and it makes sense to appeal the charge. Judicial practice shows that in most cases, law-abiding motorists manage to restore justice and get a positive decision.

How to challenge a parking fine?

There are a number of conditions for appealing charges for illegal parking by a car owner in Moscow. This must be done as quickly as possible. You can challenge the fine within 10 days from the date of delivery of the decision.

It is worth remembering that a resolution in Moscow can be issued not only by a traffic police inspector, but also by the MADI service, as well as the AMPP.

To understand who issued the parking fine in Moscow, it is enough to check the first digits of the UNN number, which will be indicated in the document:

188 – traffic police
035604 or 782 – MADI
0355 or 780 – AMPP (in this case, the 50% discount on the fine will not apply)

If the driver does not have time to appeal the violation within 10 days, he will have to write a petition to restore the deadline and this will take much longer.

If you are not satisfied with the decision to challenge a fine in Moscow by one of these services, you can go to court and achieve a result there.

In which courts can a decision be challenged?

Before you start appealing a parking fine, you need to check whether the appeal period has passed. In accordance with Article 30.3 of the Administrative Code, it is 10 days.
If the appeal period has expired, you need to write a petition to restore this period. Please note that this petition can only be submitted if there is a valid reason for missing the allotted time.
To proceed directly to the dispute, you next need to fill out a complaint form. It contains the applicant’s details and his explanations.
It will not hurt to have evidence of your innocence: screenshots of SMS, payment transactions, checks, copies of the decision and payment receipt. They are attached to the complaint as attachments.
After this, you can send the collected materials to the above authorities.

There is nothing difficult in filling out the complaint form:

In the header you must indicate personal information and contact information.
Below is the date, number of the order and who issued it.
Next, you need to describe the reason for appealing a parking fine in Moscow. Here you can write everything in detail and in your own words, the main thing is that the reasons are convincing.
The current date and signature are placed at the bottom.

After reviewing the document, a trial will be scheduled. The complainant will be notified of this through the contacts specified in the complaint form. This could be a phone number or email and postal address.

In most cases, only the applicant and the judge who will make the decision are present in court . You can take witnesses with you, and also, according to the constitution, Article 48 Part 2, you have the right to a lawyer to defend your interests. First, the judge will read out information about the decision and the appeal, and then give the floor to the applicant. You need to tell it in detail, in your own words. Give your arguments of innocence. It is very important that they do not differ from those indicated in the complaint form. Often, differences in testimony make the judge suspicious. After you have been heard, the judge may ask a number of additional questions. You only need to answer the truth. Firstly, it will be easier for you, and secondly, providing false information in court is punishable. Afterwards the judge will announce his decision. The entire process usually takes no more than 20 minutes.

If the result is positive, the fine for illegal parking in Moscow will be canceled and you will be issued a corresponding court order. If the court does not accept the complaint, it will issue another order with a receipt, which will indicate that the sanctions were issued legally.

In this case, the parking fine will need to be paid within 60 calendar days. Otherwise, additional penalties may be imposed:

It is worth noting that if the court found the punishment for parking legal, then it is better to stop the appeal, since this almost never leads to a positive result. It is advisable to pay the fine as quickly as possible. After all, for 20 days there is a 50% discount on it if it is issued by the traffic police or MADI. The discount does not apply to AMPP fines in Moscow.

What fines may there be for non-compliance with parking rules in Moscow:

How to challenge a parking fine in Moscow online?

Of course, the easiest way to appeal the ruling, which most Moscow motorists turn to, is via the Internet. Today, any receipt can be appealed in this way in just a few minutes. If the fine was issued by a traffic police inspector, this can be done on the service’s website a style=”color: #4d0099;” href=”http://www.gibdd.ru/”>gibdd.ru in the “Services – receiving requests” section.

In the “Purpose of sending the appeal” , you need to indicate the “complaint” item.

Next, you need to fill out a simple form with your personal information and how you would like to receive a response. In the text of the appeal, describe in detail the situation that occurred and the evidence of your innocence. It is recommended to enter as complete information as possible; you can additionally use the usual complaint form. If the result is positive, you will receive a corresponding letter containing information about further actions and cancellation of the fine. You may also be asked for some clarification if the information provided is not complete.

If the decision on the violation was submitted by the AMPP or MADI services, then you should appeal it on the Avtokod website (avtokod.mos.ru) in the section “New services - appeal a fine for unpaid parking.”

In this case, it will be even easier to challenge a parking fine in Moscow. The process is carried out step by step with the necessary instructions:

First you need to enter the resolution number. The system will automatically determine which service it was issued by.
Next, you need to select the reason why you consider this parking fine to be illegal or erroneous. It is worth noting that there is even a “forced stop” clause if, for example, the driver suddenly develops health problems.
Next, the driver will be presented with a list of documents that must be attached to prove his innocence.
You will also receive the answer online.

How to challenge a fine for parking in the wrong place?

First of all, you need to make sure that there are the above grounds for serving a decision on illegal parking in Moscow. If in doubt, you can familiarize yourself with the relevant GOSTs and traffic rules. Sometimes a fine can be issued even for parking closer than 15 meters from the intersection, or lack of visibility 100 meters. But the driver has the right to appeal in any case. You can challenge a parking fine in Moscow online, by mail or during a personal visit to the traffic police. You can also go directly to court and challenge the decision there. Once a complaint has been submitted, it must be reviewed by the appropriate official. Then, within 10 days, a decision on the appeal must be made. If you go to court, the complaint will be considered within 2 months. The procedure for challenging a fine for parking on a lawn in Moscow is similar.

Sometimes drivers simply do not know about the availability of paid parking in a certain place in Moscow. In order to collect a fine from the car owner for unpaid parking, the parking place must be marked with signs 6.4 “parking” and 8.8 “paid services”. If at least one of these signs is missing, you can safely write about it in a complaint and refer to the fact that you did not know about the presence of paid parking in this place. Also, the paid parking area must be marked with markings. If the car was outside it, then such a fine will also be considered illegal.

It is important to be more careful when filling out each document. For example, you should not write about vehicle problems as reasons for parking. In this case, according to traffic regulations, the driver must display an “emergency stop” sign and turn on the hazard warning lights. The fact is that you may receive additional fines for neglecting these procedures. According to Article 12.27 Part 1 of the Administrative Code, the amount of such a fine is 1000 rubles.

What should I do if I pay for someone else's parking?

Quite often, situations arise when a driver mistakenly pays for parking that is not his own or makes a mistake when entering a number. Such mistakes, of course, lead to fines for unpaid parking. No matter how strange it may sound, many departments refuse to appeal in such a situation. But this applies only to AMPP and MADI. When going to court recently, in most cases, drivers receive satisfactory decisions.

Most often, positive decisions are made by judges of the Basmanny, Khamovnichesky and Tverskoy courts, so it is best to file a complaint in case of someone else’s parking there.

How can a disabled person appeal a parking fine in Moscow?

Often, traffic police inspectors are skeptical about cars parked in spaces for disabled people and sometimes make mistakes when presenting a report. Only disabled people of groups 1 and 2 have the right to stay in specially designated places if they have the appropriate documents. Also, a “disabled person” identification sign must be installed on the rear of the car. This rule also applies to drivers accompanying disabled people, which also often leads to erroneous fines. To appeal an unfounded fine, you can also go to court, or to the traffic police, MADI or AMPP.

If you are not sure that a parking fine in Moscow was issued on completely legal grounds, then you need to appeal it in any case. After all, this does not take much time, and given the current amounts of fines, it can save a lot of money. Moreover, if your complaint is accepted, you will also be reimbursed for evacuation, if any.

Start collecting the necessary papers for an appeal as soon as possible. After all, after the 10-day appeal period has expired, it is not always possible to submit a petition for its restoration. The fact is that the driver must have a good reason for this. These include:

Illness or hospitalization.
Lengthy delivery times for letters, mail malfunctions.

In order to confirm one of these points, it is necessary to make copies of a medical certificate or other supporting documents. Also in the petition you will need to write why you need to restore the deadline for appealing a parking fine in Moscow.

Where and how to challenge a fine from the AMPP, MADI and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for parking in Moscow?

The fines that can be issued to car owners are significant amounts. In addition to federal ones, there are also local regulations, violation of which leads to the need to fork out money. The larger the city, the more difficult the situation on the roads, the more rules and, accordingly, the more violations and fines.

In this sense, Moscow is the apotheosis of traffic impassability. A special place is occupied by fines for parking - for incorrect or non-payment. The amounts are considerable. Receipt recipients are confusing. Often fines are issued illegally. They may be disputed! How, to whom and on what basis to file a complaint about a parking fine will be discussed below.

Grounds for fine

Before we move on to the methods of appealing penalties, we need to understand for which parking cases they can be applied.

From the point of view of federal and Moscow legislation, there are two such grounds:

Wrong parking. Stopping and/or parking in the wrong place.
Unpaid parking. Stopping and/or parking in a specially equipped place, but without fulfilling all the necessary conditions (in this case, without paying for parking services).

In this case, a fine can be issued either directly by a representative of supervisory organizations or through an automatic system for recording violations. The difficulty is that there are three organizations independent from each other, and for one offense a fine can be issued by different structures - it must be appealed directly to the institution that issued the resolution .

Where to file a complaint if you don’t agree?

What organizations can issue a fine? There are three of them in Moscow:

“Administrator of the Moscow parking space” - the abbreviation AMPP (or GUK AMPP) is more often used. The only organization dealing with unpaid parking .
“Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate” - MADI (not to be confused with a university that has a similar abbreviation). One of the institutions that imposes fines for illegal parking .
Traffic police - this abbreviation hardly requires decoding. However, this unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also issue a fine for violating parking rules .

It is important to know the institution that issued the fine for the upcoming challenge. In order for the request to be considered within the time limits established by law, it must be sent to the exact address of this organization.

Accordingly, the main question is how to determine which institution issued the fine? The easiest way is by UIN number - a unique digital identifier assigned to each fine . You can view it on the administrative violation resolution or receipt. Just look at the first digits of this long number and compare the data with the table:

The exact address details of each institution and methods for filing complaints will be discussed below.

Is it possible to refute? Grounds for appeal

There are many reasons not to pay or to challenge an already paid fine. We will consider only the main ones, but a professional auto lawyer will be able to analyze the situation in detail, and, perhaps, find others or a combination of them.

The most common reasons for appealing parking fines are:

The paid parking zone is not designated (incorrectly designated), but a fine has been received for non-payment.
The address for committing illegal actions is incorrect.
The parameters shown are not your machine.

Each of these grounds occurs quite often. However, if the second and third points represent a technical error of the controlling organizations or their equipment, then with the first point everything is more complicated. But more interesting.

Paid parking must be marked with a whole complex of road signs and markings. The shortage of one component provides grounds for legal refusal to pay. At the same time, only a specialized lawyer can know the entire set of norms regulated by legislation at various levels.

The fact of incomplete registration of a paid parking zone does not exclude the imposition of a fine. Most likely, you will have to dispute it after receiving it. Accordingly, if you are sure that there is no need to pay, it is better to take care of supporting facts in advance - photo and video materials.

How to appeal a parking fine in Moscow?

The first thing is to find out if there is a fine. The standard method is to wait for the ruling by mail. However, failures may occur at every stage of the shipment, and notification may not arrive in a timely manner. Therefore, it is recommended to insure yourself and check whether there is a fine.

How to find out about a fine?

There are several ways to find out if there is a violation order:

Via SMS to number 7377 (free). Send the text “fine Series and Vehicle Certificate Number” (without quotes, for example: fine 77aya654321 ). An alternative is the text with the driver’s license number: “fine Series and VU Number” (also without quotes, for example: fine 77ff654321 ).
Through a special service on the portal of the Moscow City Hall.
Using the topic search from the traffic police.
Through a specialized mobile application.

More information about ways to clarify the presence of fines can be found here.

The complaint is submitted to the head of MADI.
Both personal submission and postal delivery are carried out at one address: Moscow, st. Kalanchevskaya, 49.
Internet access can be made through the Autocode or MOS.RU services.

How to appeal a decision in the traffic police?

An application to appeal a traffic police fine must be submitted in person or by mail. The addressee is the unit that issued the fine. The deadlines are the same - 10 days from the date of receipt/delivery.

You can find out the contact details of the Moscow traffic police departments on this page. There is currently no option to file a complaint online.

Procedure for considering a complaint about illegal parking

The consideration of an application to challenge a parking fine in all three organizations follows a roughly general pattern:

The application must be submitted within 10 days (or apply for an extension).
The review should take no more than 10 days from the date of receipt of the complaint.
Within the next 3 days, a notification of the decision must be sent to the applicant.

In some cases, the traffic police reserves the right to increase the inspection period if justified reasons arise.

Refund

If a fine has already been paid under the contested decision, it is necessary to submit a corresponding application to the organization that received the money. Forms can be obtained here:

In addition to the application, the following are provided:

Account number for refund.
Copy of passport (if visiting in person, the original is provided).
Payments confirming the fact of payment of the fine.
Copies of the decision to cancel the decision to impose a fine.

Documents are submitted to the above addresses, but there is also the possibility of an online request. To do this, you need to go to this page of the MOS.RU website service, fill out all the fields of the form that opens and upload scanned copies of the necessary documents.

Challenging in court

You can resort to legal proceedings as an alternative method to the above (that is, without contacting the AMPP, MADI or traffic police - directly to the court) or after receiving a negative decision on your request to these organizations.

Since it is faster and more convenient to decide directly through the AMPP, traffic police or MADI, resorting to legal proceedings is recommended in cases of negative answers.

In general, judicial procedures follow the following scheme:

The claim is filed in court at the place of the incident. Please note that it is at the location of the incident , and not at the location of the organization that issued the fine. There is a clear explanation on this matter in the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (No. 5 of March 24, 2005).
A statement of claim is drawn up, which clearly states the objections and facts.
Documents and information related to the incident are attached to the claim.
Judicial proceedings are ongoing.

Of course, it is easy to describe judicial procedures in a few words, but in reality everything is much more complicated, and largely depends on the circumstances. Therefore, the right decision would be to contact specialized lawyers who will help you not only draw up an application and collect documents, but also represent you in court and conduct the entire process.

You can find a lawyer using our service, for which you can get a free consultation.

In the dense flow of Moscow traffic, getting a fine is not difficult. As practice shows, the number of incorrectly drawn up or erroneously issued decisions is quite large. If you want to humbly pay for the sins of others, that’s your right. But if you decide to protect your funds, now you know on what grounds and how this can be done.

It is, of course, possible to resolve issues on your own. However, the assistance of professional defenders is in many cases the most effective.

A lawyer's services cost more than a parking fine, what is the point of an appeal. After all, it’s easier and, most importantly, cheaper to simply pay an unlawful fine.

Denis, your right to use the services of lawyers or not. And situations really are different. For example, during a trial, it is sometimes possible to compensate all the plaintiff’s costs, incl. and a lawyer. But, again, each case is individual.

In May I parked in a paid parking lot. Then it turned out that I paid for it through the Moscow parking application. But now they are calling me to court because, according to them, there was no payment. Fine 5000 rub. and World Court 10,000 rub. imposes because I did not pay this fine. I have evidence that I paid for it, there are notifications from the mail that I did not receive this letter due to a technical failure. How to appeal?

11/22/2019 at 07:11

Yulia, if you have documentary evidence of payment made on time, then they must be presented in court. It is better to contact a lawyer to work out a strategy together. In some cases, you may be able to request some compensation. But we need to understand the details.

How to appeal a fine for illegal parking in Moscow and the regions

Parking rules are regulated by traffic rules and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Traffic police officers constantly monitor compliance with established requirements. In Moscow, in addition to the traffic police, this is done by the Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate (MADI) and the State Government Institution Administrator of the Moscow Parking Space (GKU AMPP). Similar organizations also exist in some large cities. If the driver does not agree with the imposed punishment, he has the right to appeal it.

Appealing a fine for illegal parking in Moscow and the regions

The procedure for appealing parking fines is the same for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation. However, Moscow residents can appeal the decision both in the classical way, which will be described below, and online.

This service is provided by the following services:

Unified transport portal;

Official website of the traffic police.

On each of these portals you can leave a request to review the sentence imposed.

Deadlines for filing a complaint

The law establishes a 10-day period for appealing fines for traffic violations. Its countdown begins from the day the inspector draws up the protocol. If the violation was recorded using a video recording device, then the period is calculated from the moment the decision was received by mail.

What to do if the deadline for appeal has expired

If the driver missed the appeal deadline, he still has a chance to appeal the parking fine. To do this, he needs to attach a document to the complaint confirming that he did not have the opportunity to do this earlier. The following may serve as evidence:

A document confirming that the driver is on a business trip;

A certificate stating that the motorist was under arrest for another offense.

If none of the specified documents are available, then the chance that the complaint will be accepted for consideration is minimal.

How does the process of considering a complaint in the traffic police and the court take place?

Challenging a fine through the traffic police

If you file a complaint with the traffic police, it will be considered no later than 10 days from the date of acceptance of all documents. In most cases, applications considered by the traffic police remain unchanged. This is due to the fact that the consideration of the case takes place without the participation of the applicant, and he cannot present additional evidence of his innocence (photo or video materials, as well as eyewitness testimony).

Consideration of a complaint in court

The case is considered in court within 2 months from the date of filing the complaint. The judge makes a decision without taking into account the decision of the traffic police or a lower court. The applicant is present at the hearing and can present any evidence of his innocence.

If, from the moment of filing the complaint until the day of the hearing, the applicant receives new evidence of his innocence, then at the meeting he can petition for their inclusion in the case materials.

How to determine which structure imposed the punishment

In order to understand which specific government agency imposed the administrative punishment, you need to carefully study the number of the resolution. Its first numbers indicate the organization that issued the fine.

First digits of the document number

The authority that imposed the fine

Fine for unpaid parking issued by AMPP

The consideration of a case regarding the unlawful imposition of an administrative penalty for illegal parking takes place in the district court at the place where the offense was committed. You can find out the address and full name of the required judicial body on the “Justice” website.

Procedure for appealing a fine

You can appeal a parking fine by submitting an application by registered mail or by visiting the authorized body in person. Also, Moscow residents have the opportunity to submit an application via the Internet.

Classic version

The procedure for challenging a parking fine:

1. Find out which body initiated the imposition of the fine. Prepare papers proving the unlawful imposition of a penalty. This could be photo or video materials confirming the absence of road signs or markings, receipts for payment for a parking space. The required materials are determined depending on the reason for imposing the fine.
