Fighting a Parking Ticket

8 years ago
When I visited Panama last April I rented a car from Hertz. . I had no issues with the car and turned it back in to Hertz at the airport without incident, final paperwork showing the same as the estimate.

Now, almost four months later, Hertz is charging my credit card $42.80 for alleged "legal fees" associated with a ticket I supposedly received (and have no knowledge of.

I finally got the information Hertz sent to my credit card company. It consists only of a list from the Autoridad De Transito y Transporte Terrestre of tickets for all Hertz Rentals and shows a ticket for incorrect parking for the same license plate on the same day I picked up the rental. Nothing to describe the time the ticket was issued nor even specifically where it was issued. We (two others were with me)didn't pick the car up until almost 11:00 am and made no stops other than for gas between PC and the hotel in Pedasi. No ticket was found on the windshield either.

My credit card company has accepted the list as proof that I received a ticket. Does anyone know if it is possible and how I would go about getting a copy of the actual ticket?
