UK Parking Control Ltd Reviews 842

I wish the government would not allow such blanket powers for such crooks. Disabled user..only have 3 spaces at a home bargains. Parked on a huge empty space and received a ticket which I appealed unsuccessfully. Choked it to life experience and went ahead to pay the £100... only o receive a receipt for £101.50. The extra £1.50 wasn't mentioned anywhere. The surface demand value remained atal £100. Will be appealing tomorrow with my bank. Can't stand these crooks

Me and my partner decided to go to crawley to check out the shopping experience. Pulled up NCP billboards everywhere, parked up, and made a payment 2 x lot of payment (to extend our stay) had a great time.
A week or so later a letter from UKPC saying we didn't pay for parking, typed in reference number and found the area not clearly marked by ukpc in the corner of the NCP car park, massive yellow sign as you drive in on the left and a sign the size of an A4 paper on the right..

Absolute cowboy tactics.. paid the fine of £60 as the appeals process would take 28 days, and had only 6 days to pay the lesser fine so paid it.
Won't be returning to Crawley again despite it having some good shops! Will go elsewhere.

Bought large items at currys and was told to park in a certain way so they could load from the side, low life leech took a picture of my van within minutes and I got a fine, they posted the letter out late so I had to pay the higher amount. It takes a certain type of person to grass people up...enough said

Terrible company to deal with. Car parked blocking us parking like a pro... one tyre slightly on the white line - boom £60. Terrible way to treat a shopper.. online it is then.. well done for adding a nail to the coffin of the high street.
Try to appeal. The way you get treated is awful.

You get fined for 26 second but no one would be able to respond to you emails, phone numbers is hidden or no one can answer websites is not working but you still have to pay the money crab!!!! Fraud

Try to look around where ever you park ,we went to charge our EV car and received a fine .
There is no communication you can’t speak to anyone.its not fair to receive fine to go to charge EV car.Its wrong.

Parking charge aside.... you actually then charge £1.50 for me to pay the charge by debit card!!!!! Really???

Scam artists. Parked at Crown Plaza Hotel in Birmingham, sign at the entry barrier stating hotel guests only, no other parking signage on entry. Parked in an available bay and received a fine for parking in a bay that was for registered users only. The signs on entry clearly stated hotel guests only and the signage stating there was a separate section for registered users was nowhere near the space I parked in, how could I have known? Total scam.

Faulty machines doling out incorrectly printed tickets. Am appealing but it looks like that will be pointless. The businesses that use their services must be receiving complaints galore so I would implore businesses NOT to use them.

I would give them 0 stars. Their activities are really "controversial", not far from extortion. I can't share my full experience due to policy, but I don't understand how such company can still exist in 2026. They usually opperate around NHS hospitals and make huge profits from NHS patients, usually elderly, working people, parents of newborns etc. What benefits and additional value this company brings to the society and NHS patients? Who stands behind them, so they can still operate their "business" and harm even vulnerable people?

What wimps. I've sent 180 emails. No reply. They know they are thrives scumbags and haven't got any backbone to reply. I hope they rot. I would never pay up to these assholes. The fact they are scared proves they are not a real company. They hide behind the B P A who themselves are a dodgy set up. No phone numbers, just an email that's broken

Totally and completely incompetent business. I received a parking charge notification in the post. There is a photo of a car on the charge. I went to the website to check the claim. The photo shown there is of a grey Alfa Romero, with registration number WV11 WDP. My car is a blue Toyota Yaris, M11 WDP. Also, I’ve never been to Burnley, where the parking violation occurred. In fact I’ve not been out of Edinburgh the whole time I’ve owned the car. I have to assume this business hire stupid people incapable of reading.

As a taxi driver I picked a disabled customer up from Hospital and took her home which happened to be in a car park run by these criminals. I had been there around 20 mins by the time I got her to her door and these phukers sent me a ticket which I contested also sent them a screenshot of the jobs with pickup/drop-off times to which they said OK we'll reduce it to £20 and if you take it further then no reduction, you pay £100. Although I had a strong case to go foreward I couldn't be bothered with the hassle so went online to pay and hey, there's also a £1.50 admin charge so £21.50. This company needs to be investigated. Robbing people.

I truely criminal organisation

Delays in replying to appeal, avoid the possibility of popla review and charge double

Unethical and illegal

Scam company. Fined for waiting for a lorry to move that was blocking my company entrance…. And wouldn’t publish my negative review on their website.

UKPC are sharks ... their employee watched me park and even gave me a cheery 'Good Morning' as he walked towards my car to slap a ticket on me for parking on (not over) the white line. If his job was to enforce the parking regs, he could have just asked me to move across. But clearly their role is to maximise revenue.

Oh well ... I am having the last laugh - he had a body camera on so I have submitted a Data Subject Access Request to get that video. That will cost them more than £60 to find that!

Thieves and liars. Far worse than a common criminal this company issues fake tickets and there is almost no way to successfully challenge them. I could say more about what happened but this would be a repeat of the hundreds of other reviews. I am not entirely sure why a company found to have systematically lied in the past would continue to be allowed to operate.

I'm supposed to validate my car when I go to my gym outside certain hours, I didn't know this so rightly got fined £100 reduced to £60 if paid within a certain time. I appealed saying I was a genuine customer, first time, they "didn't" get my evidence so I put in another with the same evidence. They then said based on the evidence (of me being a genuine customer and attending the gym at said time) I'd have to pay £20 because the fine was still "issued correctly". Sorry, what? If it's issued correctly then why shouldn't I pay the reduced cost of £60? Could it be £20 because as a "genuine customer" I shouldn't be liable to any fine? I've now been referred to debt collectors, well, see you court! It may sound really stupid but I'd rather pay £500 because a judge says so than £170 because UKPC says so. COURT it is

UKPC issued an outrageous £100 charge at The Food Warehouse retail park, despite me being a genuine customer. They completely ignored my disabilities . The appeal process was dismissive, inflexible, and blatantly unfair — the service is appalling!!
