City Hall announced the next phase in a series of comprehensive reforms designed to reverse regressive debt collection policies and bring relief to low-income residents. Beginning today, the latest of these reforms will take effect and allow residents to apply for debt forgiveness on City Sticker tickets. Residents who have purchased a City Sticker by October 31, 2019 may be eligible to have at least three of their oldest tickets forgiven and access payment plans with lower down payments and more time to pay. To apply for debt forgiveness and to learn about the City’s various debt relief programs, a new website, “A New Start Chicago,” launched today making it easier for those with debt to get access to payment plans with a goal of helping them to come into compliance, and stay in compliance. To visit the site, click www.chicago.gov/newstartchicago. Through December 15, the City Sticker Ticket Debt Relief program allows eligible motorists with a valid City Sticker the opportunity to apply to have at least three of their oldest sticker tickets forgiven.  Motorists currently compliant with the city sticker can visit the “New Start Chicago” website, to learn about the sticker debt forgiveness application process. Residents who no longer own a vehicle or no longer live in Chicago can also apply for City Sticker debt relief.
