Paymypcn Uk Reviews 31

Horrid company. Fine the very residents they’re supposedly protecting with their patrols. These patrols are completed out of hours meaning strangers WILL be snooping around your residential and privately parked cars around midnight. Very old and outdated website. Make appealing very difficult as all ‘proof’ photos must be compressed and in PDF format (which I’m sure is intentional to deter the older generation). Nasty and money hungry company. Zero stars.

My experience with this PCN parking charge has been very frustrating. I am a resident and had a valid resident permit clearly displayed, but I received a charge despite the circumstances.

My allocated parking space was blocked by a broken-down vehicle, leaving me with no option but to temporarily park in a visitor space. I still displayed my resident permit, as I am a resident, but was later told this was not sufficient for that specific bay. This was a genuine, unavoidable situation rather than any deliberate attempt to breach the rules.

I appealed multiple times, clearly explaining the situation and noting that another resident could confirm the obstruction. However, my appeal was not meaningfully considered. Instead, I continued to receive repeated reminder letters, followed by increasingly threatening correspondence and debt collection notices, despite the issue being actively disputed.

A reasonable person reviewing the circumstances would, I believe, recognise that this was not misuse of parking facilities, but a temporary necessity caused by circumstances outside my control. More discretion and common sense could have been applied.

Overall, the process felt rigid, unsympathetic, and overly punitive, with no real consideration of the context.

I was working trying to earn money I was told the spot I parked in was fir visitors or I wouldn’t have parked there
There was no help for if I have further work at this address
Absolute joke just another way to take our money

This company is a con. Was visiting Scotland and parked in Loch Lomond Shores (shopping centre) for an hour. I saw no signs that the car parking was charged and received a letter on returning home saying I was fined £60. I checked online and saw there was £1.50 charge for up to two hours parking. So I went to pay it and the charge had risen to £100. Why? Because the payment was now over 14 days since I parked. However, I don't live in Scotland and their letter didn't arrive in 14 days.

They are a con. I saw no signs at the car park saying it was a pay carpark.

Parked at spring hill my mistake one didget wrong on my reg number
I appealed emailed a copy of parking receipt
And they wavered my fine so yes got my recommendation
Thank you good people

Got sent a fine, received the letter after the 14 day discount date, so ended up paying £100, plus £1.50 administrative costs. Will not be parking in their carparks again.

From my review just as ran out of space there was cars with no blue badges parked in disabled bays and where men of foreign origin 4 cars no badges parked across yellow lines on an angel one car was and no fine and he let them go as told him to go away whilst laughing but i have blue card and get fined . Vile firm and andrew oliver operations manager useless didnt care all call me back like he said would

This company issued a parking charge against my vehicle, even though it was displaying a valid Blue Badge. They placed no warning signs or notices on the vehicle, nor did they send any written notification before passing the alleged debt to “Trace Dept Recovery”.

They are now demanding £170 for what was originally a £60 charge. We have tried calling them many times — no one ever answers the phone. We have sent written communication, but they do not respond at all.

How can a cowboy company like this be allowed to operate without any oversight? Is there no authority to hold them accountable?

Fined me for not paying in the bay as it was not busy parking Day light robbery...

I just parked for 10mins to visit a friend.

Worst nightmare, Absolutely horrible inhumane hearless people, May you be cursed and buy medicines with this money you steal from us on daylight, you had provided me permit, and fined me for not displaying, I appealed giving you the code and explained it had fallen down from the display, you so inhumane and rejected it and fined me full force, threatened me with further procedures, God damn you, we hardly can make ends meet and then there is you, you lots really need to be dealt with, Your absolute heartless inhumane company need to be taught a lesson. May you be cursed for robbing people like that.

Really nasty set up. I went to pay the fine - doing the right thing. It was for very briefly parking - under 10 mins, to pick up a car part purchase in an empty industrial estate. The only notice I received came 6 weeks later with two identical letters, perhaps in the hope that I would pay twice, and threaten an increase in the fine because I was outside the 28 days payment window. The website even lists apparent past CCJs of past clients as an extra little jab. It is like it is laughing in your face. I pay fines with good will if I have done something wrong, but this is a slap in the face on top. If I had the time and money and inclination I would divert my energies to making a YouTube channel which questions miserable low life operators like this. No class.

extortion extortionate

As people have said, scam artists who refuse to engage professionally with appeals. What's worse, I paid my PCN, money taken from my bank but they have not 'received it'. Now they want more money and continue fines, court threats. The advice is to contact them but call center is just an endless automated waiting room. Scammers.

Parking vultures that prey on people just going about their daily business. Extortionate and disproportionate fines, miniscule signage. If a Private Business uses this company to enforce ridiculous parking rules then, in my opinion, they should be boycotted for life.

As other people very rightly mentioned in the reviews this is a heartless, inhuman, disgusting corporation who fine people just for the sake of it.

1st PCN: I parked in the vacant spot next to my assigned parking in my private block where I live which no one uses and got a fine.

2nd PCN: After parking in my own spot this time I parked slightly outside the white marked bay.

In my own parking spot which I pay with my rent.

In this day and age where everyone is trying to make ends meet in this country you have people like this. So sad.

I paid by cash (no change given of course) as there was no pay by card facility; I displayed my ticket in the windscreen. I was surprised therefore to receive a parking fine notice! Fortunately I had kept the ticket so have appealed and will refuse to pay. Yes, the Government really does need to act on this.

This is a company not to ensure fair parking but purely to make money. Disgusting company with no morals.

Parking control management (UK) Ltd (PCM) aware scammers. Provided valid parking permit on dash of car still received raw ticket. Appealed it online, but they responded via post NOT online refused the appeal and charged a further amount ass thy stated in their letter that they previously sent a letter to refuse it, of which I never received. Why don’t they respond via email, that way it’s documented? Scammers! Had a valid permit no point keep appealing with these people they’ll only make it worse and end up in court with them! The Goverment need to regulate these private car park companies that lie and cheat the by-pass the system!

Awful company. Just awful.
