Got a parking ticket on Nov. 18 2010. Decided to ignore it, as per one of the suggestions on TicketCombat. The Conviction notice arrived on December 14th, with a "due date" of Dec. 25. The first thing I'm wondering is, what exactly does "due date" mean. I'm assuming it means I have to respond to the notice by then, but there isn't very much time between when I received it and the due date. Secondly, how can the due date be Christmas day? I'm assuming that none of the courts are open on Christmas. Thirdly, from reading ticket combat, I thought you would have 15 days to respond to the notice, and that the court would assume that it took 7 days for you to receive the notice. Does anybody have any experience/knowledge with these notices?

You must reply before the due date. Either pay it or ask for a trial date. If you do neither you are guilty and can expect $20.00 added to the amount. Cheers Viper1

Ticket date to due date, in your case seems to be over 36 days? If you are only a few days off to reply they will let it pass. If you have the time just fill in the challenge form. Cheers Viper1

Just curious... what was the reasoning behind Ticketcombat's suggestion to ignore the ticket?

Reviving an old thread. But I did the same and ignored the parking ticket with the advice of ticketcombat, but the City of Markham claimed they already mailed me the notice of impending conviction (BUT I NEVER GOT IT!) Today I just got a "Notice of Fine and Due Date" letter saying a conviction is recorded against me. Is there anything I can do about this?

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
