Appealing a fine for unpaid 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.

You can direct all questions regarding fines (except for the status of the complaint consideration) to the Unified Contact Center by multi-channel telephone: 8 (495) 539-54-54.

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.

Personally . Addresses: st. 1905, 25 or st. Staraya Basmannaya, 20, bldg. 1. Both institutions are open daily from 8:00 to 20:00.
By mail to the address 125040 Russia, Moscow, st. Skakovaya, 19. Recipient: State government institution of Moscow "Administrator of the Moscow parking space." It is recommended to use registered letters with notification.
Through the Internet . To do this, you must be authorized on the specified services: Autocode or MOS.RU: submitting appeals, contacting the AMPP, checking fines.

In each of these methods, you will need to indicate personal data, parameters of the fine issued and other related information.

How to challenge a MADI fine for illegal parking?

In general, the procedure and timing are the same, with the exception of:

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.

The list of documents is similar: complaint, resolution, receipts, plus others related to the incident.

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.

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?

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.

Appealing a fine from the State Public Institution "AMPP"

Situations often arise when penalties for incorrect or unpaid parking are imposed on drivers who did not violate the rules. Employees of the traffic police and other responsible institutions sometimes make mistakes. Also, the fine system itself may fail by sending a notification receipt to the wrong recipient or for a different amount.

If the motorist is sure that he has not committed any violations, but has received a collection notice, he can appeal it directly to the sending organization itself or in court. Learn how to file a complaint about a parking ticket below.

The legislative framework

The main legal act regulating the rules for parking vehicles and the system of penalties for failure to comply with them is the Code of Administrative Offenses. This document contains the amount of penalties for a particular violation, as well as the procedure for their payment.

Motorists are advised to familiarize themselves with the following provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

Chapter 12 – about violations in which it is possible to pay only 50% of the amount of the penalty;
Part 1.3 of Article 32.2. – about methods of paying half of the fine;
Clause 1 of Article 30.3 – on the deadlines for appealing against illegal parking and other violations.

The imposition of penalties is entrusted not only to the traffic police, but also to other authorized authorities. For example, in Moscow, fines for unpaid parking in a paid parking zone are issued by the State Unitary Enterprise "AMPP" (State Unitary Enterprise "Administrator of the Moscow Parking Space"), and if the parking and stopping procedure is violated, the driver will receive a notification from MADI (Moscow Traffic Inspectorate).

Appealing a fine

In order to challenge the imposed penalty, you first need to clarify which institution issued it - further steps depend on this factor:

if the code begins with the numbers 782 (for a 20-digit combination) or 035604 (for a 25-digit combination) - this is a notification from MADI;
if the numbers 780 or 0355 appear at the beginning, then the fine was imposed by the AMPP for non-payment of parking. Such notices are sent automatically;
The combination of 188 starts with the codes for sanctions from the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Help: You can find out whether you belong to an institution using a unique accrual identifier - a combination of 20-25 digits, which is printed on the received receipt.

A sample complaint against AMPP to the court is presented below.

Which court to involve

If the car owner has to act through the court, then he should contact this authority directly at the place of the violation. It is stated in the received notice of payment of the fine. The driver must know the name of the street and number of the nearest house where he parked the car incorrectly, and find a court of general jurisdiction or a magistrate court near this place.

Attention: The statement of claim along with the necessary documentation must be submitted within 10 days from the date of receipt of the fine receipt, which must also be attached to the claim.

How to appeal

To properly challenge a foreclosure notice you receive, you need to follow a certain procedure. It is presented below:

It is necessary to carefully review the fine receipt and find out which institution imposed the penalty.
Collect the required documents that will confirm the driver’s innocence: photos from the parking lot where there are no necessary road signs and markings that indicate a paid parking zone; arguments in favor of the fact that the car was in a different place at the specified point in time; receipts for payment for a parking session, etc.
Write a statement that describes the situation in detail and provides evidence of the motorist’s innocence.
Send a complaint with a set of documentation to the organization that imposed the fine or to the court. This can be done in person, by mail or online.
It is imperative to monitor the process of accepting documents. It is important that the request is officially recorded in the incoming correspondence log.

Complaints to the court against AMPP or MADI are filed when these authorities refuse to satisfy the application.

How to write an application

Regardless of which institution the complaint for an unlawful fine is filed with, the text of the statement will not be different. Here you need to write down all the information about the penalty received: by whom and when it was issued, for what, in what amount, the number of the resolution. The text of the document header will depend on the organization issuing the fine. The recipient's address must also be indicated here.

At the end of the document, you need to describe why the driver considers the received parking fine to be unauthorized. It could be:

absence of an administrative violation. It is advisable to use this argument when the parking lot is not marked with any signs or markings, and drivers are not able to understand whether it is possible to stop in this area;
irreparable defect of violation notice. This reason can be indicated when in fact the car was in a different place and the driver has the necessary evidence.

Advice: Also, the decision to collect can be challenged due to formal violations. For example, when procedural rules were violated when writing a resolution or the recording of an offense was carried out improperly. But in this case, it is recommended to contact an experienced legal adviser.

How to dispute via the Internet

Specialized online services provide the opportunity to appeal a fine from the AMPP or MADI. If a driver has received a notice of non-payment for parking or for parking in the wrong place in Moscow, then he can contact the Autocode portal.

How to use the Autocode website

First, you should go to the web portal avtokod.mos.ru and enter the number of the received parking fine notice in the appropriate column. This action will help you understand where the penalty was issued - MADI or AMPP.

Important: If the motorist has not appealed the fine within ten days after receiving it, he will need to write another petition - to extend the period for appealing the penalty. But for this you need to have good reasons.

After this, on the Autocode service you should indicate the argument that became the reason for filing the complaint. These include:

The car owner did not see the signs and markings about prohibited parking or paid parking due to their incorrect location.
The driver parked in an authorized place.
The motorist had to make a forced stop due to an accident or at the request of a traffic police officer.
The driver’s vehicle is listed as stolen, sold or transferred to another person for temporary use.
Parking was paid for, but the fine still came.
The driver has preferential conditions for parking: he has a disability, is a member of a large family, etc.

The application should be accompanied by scanned copies of documents and photographs that can prove the driver is right (accident report, parking receipt, disability certificate, etc.).

The final action will be to click the “Submit Complaint” button and wait for a decision. The department may grant the request and cancel the penalty, or refuse to correct the issued receipt.

How to appeal a fine from AMPP

Appealing a fine from the AMPP is the most common situation among incorrectly issued penalties. This is due to the fact that the functioning of the control system for paying for paid parking has not yet been fully established. Therefore, failures happen quite often. Submitting an application follows the general procedure, but the driver will need to put in a lot of effort to speed up the entire process. GKU specialists have a very busy schedule, so they do not always answer calls and often do not meet the deadlines for considering complaints.

In order to challenge a fine from the AMPP, you must be persistent and patient. Sometimes it happens that the driver paid for the wrong parking space. In this case, it’s easy to figure out - just show the paid receipt to prove that you’re right.

Thus, the procedure for appealing an incorrectly issued parking fine is quite lengthy, as it is related to the work of government agencies. Therefore, drivers must clearly formulate the text of the application and attach a complete package of documents so as not to make adjustments in the future.

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:

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.
