UK Parking Control Ltd Reviews 854

Tried to get a receipt for payment.
No option on machine. Use number no options. Use receipt option on side of machine and it cannot find payment. Odd that as they tookmy money from my bank ok. Why is this firm not thrown out of British Parking Association..
They will never change until they have to pay fines or lose accreditation

Parked at Frimley Park Hospital to drop my partner off, I didn’t even get out of the car when I was hit by a van.

By the time I exchanged details and took photos it exceeded the 10 minutes that are permitted. I had been to the office and they said they’d recorded that we would go over our time.

Then received a parking fine and following an appeal with all the evidence, then were told that they would charge a discretionary £20 as our appeal was not upheld.

Total criminals!!

Absolutely appalling treatment by this company, just scumbags. My 85-year-old father, a registered blue badge holder, parked in the appropriate disabled bay at a hospital he’s visited over 20 times without issue. Unbeknownst to him, the hospital had changed its procedure regarding blue badge display, and he received a penalty notice despite acting in good faith.

After submitting proof of his badge and explaining the situation, the company responded with a “reduced” £20 fine along with a warning that appealing further could result in the full amount being reinstated. This kind of response feels predatory, lacking empathy, and shows zero regard for elderly or disabled individuals. Shameful approach to enforcement.

Paid for our parking then got a letter saying we owed them £100 for non payment. Appealed sending proof of payment on our bank statement. Received an email saying after 'careful consideration ' they feel the parking charge to have been correctly issued. However based on the evidence we have provided they have decided to reduce the charge to £20. WHY...........give us a reason why we should pay you £20 when we paid for our parking.

Disgusting company who fined us £180 for apparently parking outside of a yellow box (with a blue badge). Never sent us anything in the post and then referred to their sister company DCB Legal who are trying to get a CCJ on my wife.

I would give no stars! Received a parking fine for a shot of moving car. Absolutely disgusting

Scammers.. staff who lie saying you will not be fined yet fine you behind your back .. anything to grab money from people... vile customer services and staff as well.

utter scum company who will do anything to fine you when there system isn't working properly.got fined saying i was in car park for over 15 hours when both pictures only have rear pictures on number plate obviously something wrong with system as you enter park car. nothing but utter theiving scum company. won't be paying nothing to them will be putting a serious complaint in.send the balifts around if you want they will also get it. SCUM of the earth company.

Absolute scum, charge a £60 fine and then ask for a £1.50 "admin fee" on top. to process the payment. Should be outlawed.

Scumbags!
Said I would have a 14 day early discount, that wasn’t an option so paid the whole £60 including an admin fee of £1.50!!
2 numbers on the letter and neither of them go through to anyone to speak to!

Absolutely disgusting!!!

Scam artists & ableist abusers who hide evidence and reduce fines out of 'generosity' even when not legally enforceable. They rely on scare tactics to earn their money & block contact when approached by lawyers.

I have successfully appealed their attempts to blackmail me & when offered to sit in a court room outside of these fines at my expense, they have refused.

Anyone working on commission for this company will have a nice seat burning in hell alongside their directors. This company and others like it need standardising to protect vulnerable people and good hard working citizens from being abused and harassed by crooks.

Worst ever company to deal with, no way to contact, all automated no customer service just out to have people over, avoid at all costs

Avoid.
I can't say anything new, they are making money to hunt drivers.

you are terrible people i hope your business falls to the ground you thieving rats. handing out fines for no reason to people in an empty car park at 8 at night. you just love stealing because you are dirty insects of people.

Scummy company, fines for slight infringement like parking slightly outside of the parking space

Company doesn't respond when I request a subject access request regarding two PCNs that they issued against me. One later dropped when challenged through a solicitor.

I thought there was a legal requirement when SARs are requested?

Just to let you all know this company was prosecuted in 2015 for fraud. Well worth looking the case up.

I am not writing this to ensure UKPC has a one star rating as they already do. All companies in the UK have an obligation to follow data protection laws in particular with regards to personally identifiable information such as from the DVLA. I am not satisfied this company is operating legally and they have been reported to the ICO.

If I could give this a minus, there wouldn’t be a minus number big enough! Scam company, send out final notice with no prior notice. Sent letters to them recorded with no response, can’t call them, can’t email them. A joke.
Disgrace company.
