Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CRS 6-1-105) — Private Parking Invoice Challenge
Colorado's CCPA (CRS 6-1-101 et seq.) provides treble damages up to $500,000 plus attorney's fees against operators of deceptive practices. Private parking 'invoices' (e.g., from ParkChirp, Premium, Republic, Diamond, ABM, ParkMobile-LPR) that mimic government tickets, threaten credit reporting, or demand fees in excess of any contract are subject to CCPA challenge. Combined with the 2022-2023 Towing Bill of Rights, demand letters citing both statutes routinely result in invoice cancellation.
