First Claim
1. A method for monitoring for a new fine, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device, a user identifier and credit card information associated with the user identifier;
transmitting, by the first computing device, the user identifier to a second computing device associated with a ticketing authority;
receiving, by the first computing device, an indication that no fine is associated with the user identifier;
retransmitting, by the first computing device, to the second computing device, the user identifier;
receiving, by the first computing device, from the second computing device, data identifying a fine owed by a user associated with the user identifier; and
automatically paying the fine, by the first computing device, with the credit card information, for the user associated with the user identifier.
