Got an unfair late fee on a parking ticket..
First of all, I got an inaccurately issued ticket for parking at a broken parking meter. I contested the ticket and was denied. So after a couple days, I got a letter saying I was denied my request to contest it. I immediately paid the fine, along with a letter for administrative review. A few weeks later, I get another letter in the mail saying I have a late fee of $50. wtf? the original ticket was only $40. and I didn't even pay late...maybe they just received the payment late? But regardless, this is ridiculous. Not only was the parking ticket issued in error, now I have a late fee that is inaccurate as well...the Bureau is really tryna get me for my money.
How would you handle this?

If they received the check late it’s your fault. You were denied your request to contest it so you should have made sure it got paid on time. How is it their fault that they received the payment late?
It is your responsibility to make sure they get it on time, not that you mail it on the due date.

Did the parking meter have an officially issued red cover from the City of Los Angeles? |

Your only hope is if the deposit stamp date is prior to the payment due date.
