Incorrect Vehicle Information

If the ticket contains incorrect information about the vehicle (wrong plate number, wrong state, wrong color, wrong make/model), it may be dismissed as it cannot be proven the ticket was issued to your vehicle.

Legal basis

NYC Administrative Code; Due Process Requirements

Sample appeal wording

I am contesting Summons Number [TICKET#] on the grounds that the ticket contains incorrect vehicle information. The ticket states [INCORRECT INFO], but my vehicle's actual [PLATE/COLOR/MAKE/MODEL] is [CORRECT INFO] as shown in the attached registration. This discrepancy indicates the ticket was either issued to a different vehicle or contains a clerical error that invalidates the summons. I respectfully request immediate dismissal.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
