What happens if you don't pay electronic parking fees?

Failure to pay electronic parking fees will affect the following three aspects: 1. Being subject to varying amounts of fines; 2. May affect the annual vehicle inspection, with severe cases potentially failing the inspection; 3. In some areas, it may also impact personal credit. Here is additional information: 1. According to relevant parking regulations, the payment deadline for white solid line parking spaces is within 30 days after the driver leaves the space, requiring full payment of road parking fees in compliance with the law. 2. Currently, many regions have implemented electronic parking fee collection, allowing car owners to pay for parking via WeChat, Alipay, or ETC, and manage parking fee payments accordingly.
Last year, I forgot to pay the electronic fee for a temporary parking, and within less than a week, I received a reminder text with an additional 50 yuan late fee. After checking, I learned that such parking fees are directly linked to the vehicle's license plate information, and the system automatically triggers a reminder procedure if unpaid for over three days. Accumulated unpaid fees exceeding 200 yuan will be recorded in the city's parking credit system, affecting the vehicle's annual inspection, and in severe cases, directly freezing the ETC account and adding it to personal credit bad records. A friend of mine in Shanghai was restricted from high consumption by the court due to accumulated unpaid fees of 800 yuan. To check if there are any unpaid fees, you can scan the license plate number with the city parking APP. If you really forgot to handle it, make up the payment on the road parking APP as soon as possible, don't wait for the collection letter to come to your door like me and regret it.
