This company is a disgrace
This company is a disgrace , Charged £100 for 20 Minutes parking with no visable signs or anywhere visual to pay when driving in . nothing at all states that this building was paid parking, absolute criminals.
Im reporting them to the local council to take a look at this very poorly signed area.
Held to Ransom
Absolute disgrace I have ended up paying £171.95 to park for an hour when I had initially paid a £1 to park. The machine failed to record all of my registration number so I appealed against it and won my case but I refused to pay the £20 admin fee. The words the company used were as a good will gesture we will drop the fine if you pay £20 admin fee. I felt like I was being held to ransom so did not pay it I then received threats from debt companies and the threat of county court! How companies can operate like this is ridiculous! I would give this company -0!!!
Absolutely disgusting treatment from…
Absolutely disgusting treatment from this company - I used the Bolton Bow St car park as it has a ladies only parking section but due to a medical condition and being very stressed with my child with me I accidentally didn't put my reg in properly even though I paid the correct amount. Next thing I know I have a fine through for £60!! Sent off the ticket, bank account, and GP letters regarding my situation and was told it wasn't good enough and to pay. Sent an appeal to IAS and got nothing from them just an email to say the appeal time has expired. We emailed Bankpark and surprise surprise got no response. I have now had to pay £170 to a debt collector - fuming!!!!!!!!!!!! All this over £1!!!!!!!!!! I will be seeking legal advice - only paid to stop the charges going up again - AVOID THESE CAR PARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Voluntary misleading info for booking in that area of Manchester
0 points for the parking in Manchester Gould Street; they finned us, we appealed, we were told that we paid for a different company as they don't have NCP; if you go online, for that address, the first info that comes is the NCP. As a normal person, I booked in advance(NCP) I paid for 1 day to be sure and then we were led to their address, which is misleading; for the same address there are 2 parking companies..awful experience; well we have to pay now £170..robbery..shame on you, I bet you got a lot of money from honest people....using this strategy...
Absolute con of a company
Absolute con of a company. Don't ever use them and contribute to their greed. I made the easy but stupid mistake of parking in an almost empty car park that they own in Reading on the Oxford Road. I had not realised that the rules had changed as I hadn't been there for a long while. I parked in the almost empty car park for a total of 27 minutes (you get 30 mins for free if you enter your reg plate apparently) so was within the timeframe. I challenged the £60-£100 fine when it came through to me and explained I had used one of the shops in that area and that I could prove to them that I had used their facilities and of course I was within the 30 minute timeframe (Purpose of my visit there was a health related visit to this shop as prescribed by my doctor..). I also explained to them my financial situation being dire especially just before Christmas. I asked if they would half the fine amount to £30 which was manageable for me or let me pay with a payment plan. Both were denied or ignored. I've now had to take a loan out to pay this just before Christmas so yet again another thing for me to worry about (suffer from depression & anxiety... not that they care of course). I'm struggling to pay my energy bills and rent as it is and then these scammers take a huge chunk of money off people just before Christmas, god help people that have children and can't afford to buy their kids christmas presents because this company have taken their money for nothing! Heartless and greed based company. Let me guess.. they will put a reply and put please contact us at such and such email... which they will never respond to nor will I ever get any money back.
Petty thieves & criminals
Petty thieves & criminals - when is the government going to put these parasites out of business
Disgraceful and atrocious company…
Disgraceful and atrocious company completely unresponsive to appeals and complaints after ripping off customers with unfair charges. The machine told me there was no charge and I exited within one minute of putting my reg in the machine. Two weeks later revived a 100 fine! I've sent multiple emails to every possiblr address and no one replies. It's disgusting behaviour, don't use them!!!
Dismal Waitrose Burgess hill parking
Went to park at Waitrose Burgess hill and found only 2 out of the 5 machines working with non taking cash.
The disabled register machine would not work so could not register disabled badge and as we had no smart phone had to get a stranger to pay for us.
Totally unsatisfactory service from a company who are making millions but not providing and maintaining the parking machines.
Robbing company
I parked in a car park in stoke on…
I parked in a car park in stoke on Trent checked there sign it said free parking for disabled badge holders. Displayed my blue badge in window. Received a. Fine thru the post filled in the appeal form explaining I was a disabled driver checked with stokes council it even says in there web site it is free to park gave them my badge number but lost the appeal. These will not get a penny out of me they are cowboys from Sheffield thinking there bad boys. Well we shall see who the bad boys are?
if I could leave zero I would.
if I could leave zero I would.
#1 we didn't overstay our parking time.
#2 they were a debt recovery company the people we booked through say they don't have connections with.
#3 they say they've tried to request payment for a none existent parking charge notice we never received or merited.
#4 say we can't appeal as that window has closed (this was on their 1st ever contact with us and no transgression ever happened)
#5 we booked our parking for £2.65 through JustPark.con who say it's nothing to do with them despite having emails from them quoting the times we paid for and complied with.
#6 you can't speak to them and by the time they tell you about their scam they threaten ccjs and additional charges.
obviously we're annoyed the law allows these people to walk free and live off this scam.
Absolutely shocking- all the other…
Absolutely shocking- all the other reviews are right- rip off organisation - no customer service- don’t care - even contacted MD who said he would get someone to contact me - guess what nothing! Embarrassing
If I could give 0 stars
If I could give 0 stars, I would. This company has no customer service whatsoever and you are constantly met with prerecorded phone options when you call. I have sent 4 emails, not a single one has been responded to. Do not park here
Absolute thieves
Absolute thieves.
Paid for parking and had a ticket. Still received a parking fine notice advising payment needs to be made within 14 days of fine letter being raised. It took a week for these muppets to send the letter.
If you wait to appeal you will go past the deadline and have to pay £100.
They should be banned from trading.

A shyxxxr scourge of a company who are…
A shyxxxr scourge of a company who are just out there for kerching. Entered Market shopping Centre at Burgess Hill. 3 parking machines but only one working and a queue. Purchased a ticket . When time came to exit car park, the exit route was blocked by roadwork in car park. Had to go opposite direction to the one way system which was gridlocked due to the chaos ensued by bad management of traffic flow. Both the length of time that the anpr camera picked up my vehicle on entry and buying a ticket , and getting out of the carpark with the gridlock caused by the bad roadwork management caused my stay to exceed the time on the ticket, this being timed by the anpr camera on exit. Explained all this when appealing the pcn but was rejected. I bet there were a lot of people who got pcbs that day.
Ethically bankrupt
I was given an extortionate fine by this company and did not receive any initial correspondence before I was hit with a debt collection order by their bailiff thugs. Despite being provided clear evidence of parking and an explanation of the delay due to no initial correspondence, they refused to budge, and my credit score has been affected. This is a vile company that runs completely opposite to how an ethical company should. I recommend you all park elsewhere and avoid them like the plague.
Attempted to pay ticket at affordable…
Attempted to pay ticket at affordable rate, Banks parking Ltd refused to accept. Increased the debt despite my attempts to pay and refused to give me complaints procedure despite multiple attempts. Been advised by citizens advice to attend court as this is predatory behaviour.

Avoid like a plague. They force you to write a letter to appeal an unfair charge they issue.
