<prompt> Human: So a little bit of backstory, this morning I walk out to my car to find out that it has been booted. I didnt even think I had any tickets. I go to the transportation agency immediately, they inform me that I have 1092 worth of tickets that has been penalized and sent to an old address I used to have. They tell me I have to pay the fees within 72 hours or else my car will be impounded. Ive started a modest savings of about 500, but I dont have the money to get my car back. The value of the car is over 5000, it seems stupid of me to allow it to be impounded instead of paying the fees. I want to sell the car to pay back the money, but I dont have the 1100 necessary to remove the boot. I have no family or friends that will loan me the money, and my credit is not bad, but I am young and is virtually zero. What can I do? Am I screwed?  <response>: Are the tickets actually yours or has there been some screw-up? Hard to imagine you could accrue 1k worth of parking tickets without a single one managing to remain stuck to your windshield to find.If its incorrectly assigned to you you should immediately start making calls to fight it. Perhaps you can, by initiating a dispute, stay the impending impounding. As you are undoubtedly aware impound fees are absurd and will rapidly add up to well over 1k if left unchecked.If you do take out a loan of some kind to pay it off how long will it take to pay down?
