NO, the city CANT repossess your car. They can impound it for a violation of a city law. The only one who can repo a car is the LEINHOLDER. THEY can repo it as a result of the city impounding it for the cities reasons. And only repo it AFTER they pay the city and/or impound fees.

Yes - they can have it towed for example if it is abandoned on the side of the road and the lender would have to pay the amount due to get it back just to repossess it. Their lien takes precedence over all others.

Where can I find all-day parking in Chicago?

All-day parking in Chicago can be found in downtown Chicago, but parking restrictions vary depending on the street you're parking on. In the city, many Chicago parking garages offer all-day parking. Parking in residential areas is an option, but keep in mind there are residential parking zones that strictly enforce Chicago parking permits. Chicago parking passes for guests can be purchased by someone living in a Chicago residential parking zone.


Would a car towed for unpaid parking tickets be reported as towed in police records?

Yes. They scan the streets with special cameras that scan the license plates, looking for any past due parking tickets. If they find that car, they break in, and tow it away, so they can make you pay even more money on top of the tickets, or keep your car. They don't take any money once they catch you---they insist on taking your car, and and towing it. Its a racket.

Can you file parking tickets under a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Parking tickets cannot be discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They can, however, be discharged under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is known as "liquidation" bankruptcy. This generally means that all of a debtor's non-exempt property may be sold by a bankruptcy trustee, though the laws for property exemption are different in each state. For example, in New York, most debtors are able to keep all of their property. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a 'reorganization of debts', and allows the individual to keep their property and income while paying off all or part of their debt over a three to five year period. In the case of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, the parking tickets can be considered "unsecured" debts (similar to credit cards and medical bills), and can thus be treated as such for repayment.
