Who runs NYC Ticket Facts — and why you can check everything we say

Who we are. Axion Labs is a small, family-run independent publishing studio. We publish plain-English answers built from public records: GOV.UK and HMRC guidance on Making Tax Digital, the CFPB consumer complaint database, US federal health-insurance claim data, New York City parking-ticket records, and UK parking operator and appeal-body decisions. Every figure names its source and the date we read it. We are not lawyers, not an agency, and not affiliated with any company, insurer, council or government body we write about. We take no commission, no referral fee and no advertising, and we rank no product. Andrew at Axion Labs writes the pages and answers the mail: hello@getaxionlabs.com.

NYC Ticket Facts is run by Andrew at Axion Labs, a small independent publishing studio. Corrections go to hello@getaxionlabs.com. One person reads that mail and answers it; expect a reply within a few days. We are not the City of New York, not a law firm, and not a ticket-fighting agency, and we don't want to be mistaken for any of them.

Three things we will never do: take your ticket payment or any percentage of your fine, contact the city or act in your name, or touch your plate or your money. You pay and dispute directly with the city, on the city's own site, where disputing is free.

What this site is

New York City publishes the outcome of every parking and camera violation — over 150 million records, updated daily. A driver is never pointed at that data before deciding whether to pay a ticket. We compute the dismissal rates and publish them, free, with the method shown. The site also offers one paid product: a $12.99 document-preparation tool that turns your account of what happened into a written hearing statement. That's the entire business model — no subscriptions, no percentage of your fine, no data resale.

What we are not

There is a person behind this page, and it is me. If anything here is wrong, out of date, or reads like it was written by a machine that has never been ticketed, email me — when I change something I say so on the page. One person reads that mail and answers it; expect a reply within a few days. Whatever you decide about your ticket, disputing it is free at nyc.gov — Dispute a ticket, and you never need us, or anyone, to do it for you.
