First up I admit I put in the wrong car registration. We'd had a couple of really tough weeks as our son slowly died from complications following an operation and I'd driven my wife's car up and down from Inverness to London 3 times. Went, in my truck, to pick up my sister in law @Inverness railway station who had dropped everything to come up and help. So used to using my wife's car I put the wrong reg in the machine. All this was explained and I sent in copies of the ticket to show that even though I put the wrong reg in I HAD PAID. The result - they didn't accept it, pay now, or appeal again and lose any quick payment discount - no doubt they ignore this too - a totally heartless organisation.

Would suggest that nobody uses this company - fraudulent way of taking substantial amounts of money from innocent people. £60 fine for a £2.50 charge which payment was lodged with my bank by their machine which subsequently failed to dispense a ticket. Parking attendant advised that it was not a problem as it was controlled by entry / exit cameras. As payment was visible in my bank I believed I was covered. Money not taken from account in timely manner so tried numerous ways to contact company only to receive automated message. Appealed parking fine with photographic banking evidence and explanation only for SMART Parking to completely ignore and reject my evidence. Considered POPLA appeal until I read reviews about corruptness of system so took my medicine and paid. Be very wary of this company as subsequently received a second parking fine (mother in hospital so used a few times over weekend) which my bank advised had been paid so waiting for that appeal to be rejected

Another one of these scamming parking companies. You park in a car park for years then bam a parking charge in the post. No signs, no warnings or anything in the car park to tell you of any changes.

Let's be candid, these companies are just scammers out to make easy money from the British public. Call them out for what they are. Scammers! We parked up at Willen Lake. We tried paying for the parking ticket using our debit card, the machine wouldn't have it. In fact, the poor lady in front of me must have spent 10 minutes trying to get the scamming machine to work. I ended up giving her 2 x 1 pound coins to feed the machine. My turn, fed the machine with 2 x £1 coins which should have covered 2 hours parking (I was there for 1.5 hours). I receive a PCN 7 weeks later. Forget trying to contact these scammers. The two numbers that exist - one must have been disconnected, the other has a message basically saying their phone system is no longer operating. I understand the need to regulate parking, and I get that if you don't pay, or overstay when notices clearly state the penalties, you get fined. But this is not the 1st time I've dealt with a machine that doesn't frickin work!! And there is no way Smart Parking are oblivious to this. They know, they know thousands are being fined because their parking ticket machines don't work properly. But, this rakes in a huge fortune for them, so they let it ride. There is zero recourse for the driver. There is no way you can speak to anyone from Smart Parking. You are more likely to have a genuine conversation with God before that ever happens. British Parking Association's Approved Operator Scheme need to get their act together. What exactly does this organization do? Or are they in cahoots?

Parked up to go to Weatherspoons, 30 mins into being there a young girl was being attacked by multiple children and adults so i stepped in to cool things down but ended up with a parking fine for over staying, no point in appealing as these faceless cowards wont interact and see sense, Wxxkxxs the lot of them, i will not be visiting my home town again fed up with all these money grabbing pigs.

A completely faceless and unreasonable corporation that are not remotely interested iin adressng appeals either through their own procedures or POPLA (a total waste of time) and do not respond to data requests submitted under the GDPR regulations. Even when a failure of their own system results in them gathering and acting on incomplete data they are completely unreasonable and not prepared to listen to a rational dialogue. I have been fined £100 after making a 'U' turn in their car park twice in a single day.

Bought online parking at Milton Keynes station - followed directions to parking site. A few weeks later received penalty notice from Smart Parking. I appealed the fine and sent evidence of my parking payment. Smart parking didn't accept my online purchase, stating: "the payment was not issued by our ticket machines onsite". Anyone buying parking online - note the issue I experienced and beware of Smart Parking

I APPEALED A PCN NOTICE FROM THEM ONLY TO HAVE IT REJECTED. I GAVE THEM PROOF THAT I WAS NOT THEY WHEN THERE SAID I WAS, I GAVE THEM A JOB TICKET BUT THAT I THAT ISN'T PROOF ACCORDING TO THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I COULD OF DRIVEN FROM ONE SIDE OF BRISTOL TO THE OTHER IN RUSH HOUR IN 2 MINUTES? THE COMPANY IARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND THERE BEHAVIOUR IS UNACCEPTABLE. BAD NEWS, RIP OFF ARTISTS WHO PRAY ON PEOPLE AND HIDE BEHIND CAMERAS AND DEBT COLLECTORS.
