Myparkingcharge Reviews 

One payment m/c out of use is unfortunate, both and advertised phone number "Not recognised" is a SCAM, however they helpfully suggested I should have found an alternative parking site, advise I will follow to the letter in future, however before entering their car park

I have just received a fine for this company as my sister (driving my car) paused for 22 seconds on approach to barriers at Leeds and Bradford Airport S she was panicking and thought she was in the wrong place. It said on the letter that I could let them know it wasn’t me driving- you cannot do this on their website. £60 fine for pausing for 22 seconds and then continuing to drive into a paid for short stay car park. That we then paid for!!!! We will appeal and go to the independent body to appeal if not successful. We will take it all the way to court if needed. 22 seconds while she calmed down and drove on. Disgusting tactics. I’ll be writing to the airport and to our MP too. Companies like this should be held accountable .

I only received a letter today 22nd may with a £100 fine saying I dropped of at airport what a joke but if I pay by 23 may its £60 I rang the number 10 times dead line I wanted to know why letter took 17days to come I just ended up going on line paying £60. Shame on airport for letting this crap happen to there customers 😡

These companies are absolute scumbags four minutes late returning to the car 80 pound. Fine. What’s even better the car park 3/4 empty because nobody will pay their prices. That will be my last visit to Lincoln.

SCAM !, this type of company should not be allowed to operate. This is the third time in two years I've been taken for a ride by companies set up to intervene between you & the actual company you're dealing with, then adding their "fee" to what would be a reasonable & fair cost to the offender.
The same scam is used by "companies" that intercept your attempt to pay "clean air zone" charges, then add their "cut".

Absolute rip off money making bunch of low lifes.

Blue badge in a Iceland car park and charged £60 for 12 minutes. Appealed and lost as all Medway allow free parking but because this is a "private" car park for Iceland with signs up, the appeal was declinef

What an absolute money making exercise. My car was over the line at the back, making it closer to a wall but not affecting anyone at all. Pointless debating all digitized, i wont park at leeds bradford long stay again

My husband parked the car 25/11/2024 beside supermarket at Kirkcaldy, Nicol street car park and he bought the ticket and displayed but he got a Parking Charge Notice letter issued 03/12/2024. There was still parking ticket he purchased in his car so he appealed with purchased ticket as a proof. He displayed on the car and went to supermarket and came back to the car. it all took 12 min according to the photo. Although appealed on 13/December/2024 with a proof of parking ticket that purchased (25/11/2024), got a letter from solicitors of POLLOCK FAIRBRIDGE charged £160. Is Myparkingcharge.co.uk Scammer company with this solicitors ?
I have forwarded the appeal e mail again to them to their e mail and asking cancel the solicitor's letter. it is very frustrated and angry after purchased and displayed parking ticket they charged parking fine and solicitor's letter although correct timing appealed before 28 days the issue date of the Notice.

I am a disabled and usually do my shopping online but because I was paying by a flexe cash card ( love to shop card ) I was told by Iceland head office I had to go to store and choose my items and get a home delivery so i went to Iceland Camberwell because It was the closest to my home I paid for parking £1 and did not think anymore about it and parked in a disabled bay with my blue badge and parking ticket displayed and proceeded to go in to do my shopping i bought 86 items and paid £148 and had it delivered that night and tipped the driver £5 because it was a lot of shopping 2 weeks later I received a parking charge notice saying I had over stayed by 1/2 an hour i appealed and was told it is £1 for every hour I stated i had purchased a parking ticket not knowing it was £1 per each hour i even sent them the proof I was in the store all the time doing my shopping and was disabled and can't rush around i also sent them a copy of the receipt for my shopping and they did not except my appeal so all I can say sorry icelands you have lost a very good customer due to your greedy parking idiots but I will be send a letter to iceland ceo and hopefully might get a reply but I doubt it

This awful company looks like a complete scam with their amateur aggressive payment notice. It has the tiniest veneer of legitimacy and is simply a scab of a company taking huge profits from the council for parking and no stop violations. The council get the smallest amount of money whilst this carbuncle to society takes huge profit. They hide behind a PO box but if you look and Companies House you can see their address and the £6 MILLION in profit they made last year alone.

what so ever genuine reason you give they will never accept you appeal...I paid 5 times fine for this same company for different reasons....

Reporting from Derby County Court
31 January 2025

A judge has ordered a car park operator to pay expenses - including for parking - to a man it "fined" for taking more than five minutes to pay.

Excel Parking Services has sent numerous people £100 Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) for taking too long to pay at the Copeland Street car park in Derby.

Peter Barton - who took 19 minutes to pay because he could not find a suitable parking space - decided to challenge Excel by not paying the PCN.

His case was then heard at Derby County Court, where a judge dismissed it and ordered Excel Parking to pay him £19.50 to cover his travel expenses.

This comprised of £15 mileage for driving to court and £4.50 to cover his parking while he was at the hearing.

Speaking after the hearing, Mr Barton said: "Their so-called five-minute rule is ridiculous.

"It just needs people to stand up to it. If you've paid for parking you've paid for parking."

Mr Barton was among numerous people who contacted the BBC following coverage about Rosey Hudson, who was asked to pay £1,906 for taking too long to pay on 10 occasions.

Mr Barton parked at the same car park on 12 March 2024, entering at 11:20 GMT and exiting at 13:08.

He paid £2 in cash at the machine, which covered him for two hours of parking.

However, he told the court it took him about 15 minutes to find a suitable parking space and park, so 19 minutes had passed by the time he bought his ticket.

Excel Parking made a claim against him for breach of contract, because it has signs saying people must pay for parking within five minutes of entering the car park.

However, Mr Barton argued he was not aware of this when he entered the car park.

"In their code of practice it says you should be able to read the terms and conditions without having to exit the car," he told the court.

"The signs they have got on the entrance, the particular sign they have got showing the terms and conditions is on the passenger side of the car, it can't be read from the car.

"I wasn't aware of the terms and conditions until I went to the parking meter to pay, but it took me 19 minutes until I was able to park and pay, so I had obviously exceeded the five minutes you have to purchase a ticket."

Mr Barton also said he had not read the particular term stating people must pay within five minutes.

"I didn't but even if I had read it, it was already too late," he said.

Excel Parking Services had made a claim for the £100 PCN plus £70 costs.

Dismissing the claim, Deputy District Judge Nathan Smith said the contract between Excel and Mr Barton "was not concluded until he read the terms and conditions next to the parking meter".

This meant that it was not legally binding at the point he entered the car park.

"As such, it seems difficult to see how he could have been in breach of those terms and conditions before the contract was concluded," the judge said.

The BBC has asked Excel Parking for a comment but has not had a response.

This says it all - we got fined after my disabled wife took over 5 minutes to find a spce then found the ticket machine not working and she had no phone- we appealed and still had to pay the £100.

class action required.

I will never use the Excel Parking car park in Newcastle Ave Worksop again.
I will use the priory car park. It allows you to pay on the way out so you can’t overstay and get fined.

I would rate them zero if I could absolutely shocking company out to scam you I got don’t at Bristol airport and they never sent 1st letter so fined me full amount and aggressive saying needs to be paid now so I panicked and did and complained they said by paying the fine you have accepted fault absolutely shocking another company getting away with scamming people shocking

Phone payment option did not accept either my credit or debit cards on the first pass. Call cost me over £1. Tried again debit card worked first time but as I had been at the airport twice in three days dropping off my daughter and three small children. 2nd time would not accept the same card. Cost me three phone calls at over £1 each.

What a bare faced scam. I shopped at Iceland holderness road hull. I bought ticket and spent £130 in store, on returning to my car i noticed a ticket on my windshield. Couldn't believe it. I PAID THE CAR PARKING YOU MORONS. EVEN TURPIN WORE A MASK!!!!

After an appeal it switches you to maximum amount, no option for discounted amount if paid promptly. No way to communicate with vendor.

Appalling company. I paid for my parking and used less than I paid for yet because it took me more than 5 mins to pay I've been fined. So I'm fined for giving them money. It's immoral and totally unfair. They just put a gun to your head and take your money. I'd have been fined the same amount if I'd not paid.

How this company is allowed to conduct business is absolutely disgusting. It is nothing more than robbery, they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope and pray Karma comes to them all in some way.
