Justice

Got a ticket? Snap it, tell Stella what happened, and get a formal dispute letter for the right city and office.

1 · Your ticket

Goes to City of Charleston Traffic & Transportation / Parking Operations, Charleston, SC · about 30 days to dispute.

2 · What happened?

e.g. "I paid the meter until 3pm and the ticket says 2:40." Stella turns it into proper legal wording.

Proof photo or video (optional)

Paid meter, sign, or the scene. It stays on your phone and goes straight to the city's dispute form when you send — ParkPiggy never uploads it.

More dispute tools — PDF packet, tracking, obstructed signs

Re: Request for dismissal of parking citation [citation number]

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to formally contest parking citation [citation number], issued on [date of citation] to the vehicle bearing license plate [license plate].

The meter for this space was paid and valid for the entire time my vehicle was parked. I have attached a timestamped photograph of the paid meter display taken at the space in question.

I respectfully request that the issuing officer's notes and any available evidence be reviewed in full.

I submit this request within the 30-day window Charleston allows for contesting a citation, and I ask that the citation be dismissed. Please confirm receipt of this request and advise if any additional documentation is required.

Thank you for your time and review.

Respectfully,

[Your full name]

Stella's tip

Deadlines are brutal: Charleston gives you about 30 days. Send it early, keep a copy, and never admit fault.
