SCAMMERS I got a tickets for staying overnight in a McDonalds car park. The reality is i went to McDonalds in the afternoon of day 1 and then went back for breakfast on day 2. The ANPR camera seems to have only detected the first time I drove in and last time I drove out despite going out and back in, in between. This resulted in what they claim is an "overstay". I did not overstay. I appealed within 14 days and my appeal was ignored. I got a debt collectors letter without my appeal even being considered. I refuse to pay as the ticket was issued incorrectly in the first place. I have reported them to BPA and no doubt see them at Court.

I’ve only given one star because they have not given the option for minus stars. 49 seconds over my 10 mins at Forrest Gate Baptist Church,Blackpool, no grace in this company. Didn’t bother appealing, as the stress is to much.

Parked in the wrong space in a shared car park in error. Tried to resolve, without success. Penalty ramped up to £170. Hotel (Blackpool) don't answer. Company transferred debt to a debt collector. Called them 3 times. Each time on hold for over 30 minutes - no answer and no other method of contact that i can ascertain. Very aggressive firm.

Parked in a space which was next to spaces owned by a different company!! Paid for parking for the company in the space next to me as NO clear signage to say they’re owned by different people. Obviously part of their thieving tactics. Letter issued on 3rd September but arrived on 13th leaving 4 days to appeal. Another thieving tactic. If you see a car park owned by this company just avoid as they will find any reason to rob your money. I would personally be ashamed working for a company that rob innocent people. Just as bad as the ones robbing on the streets.

Thieving Robbing scammers If you ever park in one of these car parks make sure you display your ticket clearly and take a photo of it on your phone. This company needs investigating and reporting they are stealing money off people

We paid for a ticket following a delay accessing the machine (helping a pensioner negotiate a payment). We were then slightly delayed having assisted a person who fell during our walk. We left the carpark within a few minutes of the end of our parking period. £60. Appeal rejected. Be aware that they time you from the moment you enter the carpark to the moment you leave - not from the point you buy the ticket or move the vehicle. If you are going to be a minute over your 'paid for period' you might as well not bother paying at all as any money you have paid in good faith is not deducted from their rediculous penalty charges.

Drivers please be very aware (even if you are an over 70’s pensioner) that if you make a mistake entering your car registration number when entering it at the time of parking (even if you then have dinner with family during the parking period) you WILL be fined £60 off the bat with no mitigation considered whatsoever. I haven’t seen their company accounts to date but they must be quite desperate to send heavy fines to people who think they have played by the rules with good intent then end up paying a heavy fine. Quite shocking in my opinion.

Disgusting ripoff company. I have been parking next to my local Tesco shop for the last 2 years whenever i go to do shopping n. yesterday I revived letter fine from smartparking PCN £100 reduced to £60 if i pay quick and apparently they put there no parking at any time ! I didn't notice it and if I parked there for 15 Min while in Tesco what did I cost them to charge me that ? welcome to rip of Britain.
