@garrett I beg to differ. At first I thought it was a terrific service. After using it twice, their true business was revealed. They leave advertisement cards on vehicles with tickets and indeed is how I learned of the service. The card states there's an error with the ticket (regardless of whether there is ... every ticketed car will be canvased by Fixed). While I do believe they legitimately file a contest through the official channels, I don't believe they expect or care to win the contest. Here's why - by using the service you agree that Fixed will autopay on your behalf with a few-dollars service fee. I'm convinced their business model is fairly scammy in that they hook you with the promise that you've received an invalid ticket that can be dismissed. When in reality they know the majority of the tickets are valid, have no chance of dismissal, and reap the service charge you agree to when you file your contest with them. Fixed is clearly not a sustainable business anyway - really, what percentage of tickets are not valid? A very small percentage I'm sure. And if their revenue is seriously modeled around winning contested invalid tickets then there is very little money to be made. Edit - I missed the Founder David Hegarty reference. Maybe someone can fact check me but I think this is fairly inflated to spin his case for his business. |
