City of Gretna Speeding Camera Debt Collection
Posted on 6/8/15 at 9:53 am
Posted on 6/8/15 at 9:53 am
I am getting mail from a Law Office noting they are a debt collector for Gretna speeding camera ticket. I didn't think the companies that operate these things could technically collect or affect credit, but maybe I am wrong? I have for years heard stories of folks completely ignoring similar speeding camera tickets in other parishes and nothing coming of it. Anyone have experience specifically with Gretna? Educate me.

Gretna cops have nothing to live for besides being dicks and trying to make peoples lives miserable. They probably teamed up with a lawyer that shares similar interest in life. Good luck. I say frick em. Dont pay it. Make the bastards chase you.

It's a civil fine. Why on Earth would you think they could do absolutely nothing about it?

The less right they have to collect on a debt the more aggressive they'll be in trying to do so. It's gonna suck for a while.

City of Gretna Speeding Camera Debt Collection
Way to protect and serve City of Gretna, you pieces of shite. You are providing such a valuable fricking service to citizens by taking away (in such a bull shite manner) their take home wages that they use to provide for their family.
Speeding cameras are nothing more than a punch in the gut to society. It's stupid shite like this that makes citizens despise government and law enforcement.

In Houston it was from civil court, not criminal court - hence why people would toss them in the garbage.

I got a camera speeding ticket in gretna (belle chasse hwy) 18 months ago. They will send it to a collection agency out of ohio (scheer, green, & burke & co.) if you dont pay. The collection agency will file a collection item on your credit bureau. When it showed up on mine (transunion only), i just contacted transunion and disputed the validity of the debt. It was off my report within 30 days.
Now if you park on public property in gretna, I dont know what their booting practices are when you have a ticket.

When you file a dispute in transunion, they only give you about 6 or 7 check boxes for the reason. I dont remember what box i checked, but in the notes section basically said i have never agreed to do any business with city of gretna, never owned property there, never agreed to owe them money; thus, the debt is not valid.

perfect. yea it isnt even showing up on any of the 3 agencies, so we shall see. i figure it may take awhile though to show.
