Met Parking Services reviews

You can see in this self explanatory picture that the SIGN is NOT visible.

Not only this PCN is unfair, as I could NOT see the sign telling me my time at …

Horrendous company, appealed through POPLA who were happy to accept photographic evidence from MET Parking Service that were over 6 years old, and although I provided current photographic evidence that there are no signs visible when accessing the controlled area. POPLA still refused the appeal… go figure!!!

Parked in a disabled bay at Gatwick as I was accompanied by the Blue Badge Holder and sent the evidence. Still they fined me saying proof not good enough and we cannot see from our cameras, well is that my problem? Don’t waste your time appealing to these thieves.

Horrendous company. I got a final reminder for 100 pounds when I never got the first one which was supposed to be for 50 pounds as I learned later. Impossible to appeal as my reference number was coming as invalid when I tried to contact …

Issued me a fine for going to McDonald’s at Caxton gibbet park I got breakfast for my children then returned to the same park an hour and 44 minutes later. They are saying I stayed in there car park area all that time where I have evidence …

I have this week received a debt collection letter for £170 for an unpaid parking fine, which I was never informed about. This fine is from October 2020!! …

I truly think this company is making money from PCNs that they issue to anyone that they have a chance. We parked a bit longer to charge our electric car enough to make it to the next part of our journey and we left as soon as this was …

Got a letter from DCBL, direct collections bailiffs Ltd claiming I parked in Mcdonald Feltham and left premises on 16/12/2020 on behalf of Met parking services Ltd …

Lowlifes of the highest order.
Bottom feeder business that likes to slap extortionate fees onto unwitting drivers with zero lines of arbitration for the public. …

yap , it’s McDonald’s at Hanworth ,Feltham, TW13 6HB, I only went for a take away. and 60mins are permitted, they recon I had stayed there for 165mins.and asking for £100pounds . when I was trying to pay they can’t even find my charge …

Liars is a mild term. Have a catalogue of evidence against them… they have lied, not proved delivery, broken ICO rules, been sexist and misogynistic on the phone… gone back on a contract… how does the DVLA get away with sharing information to crooks? May as well do it themselves!!

Awful company that operates just to steal peoples money. They issue PCN unlawfully, don’t post you the ticket and then you don’t have the opportunity to appeal. They turn pass the ticket to a dent collector who continues to bully me and threaten you with being blacklisted.

Disgraceful company. Sent details to a debt collector even though they sent the PCN to an address I no longer reside at. Had I been contacted by them I would have paid the original PCN which is lower than the inflated amount now.

Met Parking Services has cost McDonald’s Target Roundabout a regular customer. I have NEVER spent more than 15 minutes using the driver thru and leaving the premises. Received a PCN for staying 87 minutes. This company is a scam, be very …

I cannot believe this ‘company’. I was late back to my car after being stuck in a disabled toilet due to a faulty door. The security guard helped me get out after finally hearing that I was in there. I received a letter and appealed the …

Absolutely appalling company. Tried to appeal with absolutely no luck. Said that I could appeal further but if that failed then the fine would increase by £50!

Tantamount to gangsters. They are an unethical private parking control company. They operate just inside the law using entrapment to extort exorbitant ‘fines’ from unsuspecting motorists on private land, such as petrol station forecourts. …

Day light robbery, used an electric car charger, and these clowns have fined me for using it… despite my car was charging!?!

Disgusting company . Parking signs are never located clearly and writing is small . All they are doing is catching people out unaware and stealing their money using threats and bully boy tatics . There are many words to describe these people

DISGRACE. Will not be paying. went to a drive thru at costa coffee near manchester airport. Will not be paying. Got proof I was in manchester at the time. JOKE

This company is disgusting they have charged my daughter £50 for parking outside her own apartment even though she has a permit. She appealed and some how lost so she paid as she was then scared to get in trouble as this is all new to her. …

Awful company handing out invalid fines, they’ve sent me a ‘fine’ i’d rather call it an invoice, stating i left the premises of McDonald’s in Feltham when I didn’t, the only proof is 2 pictures of my car parked outside 11 minutes apart and …

A shame that the government or local councils don’t do something about these companies. I suppose they are a good revenue stream so why would they upset them! …

Tried to appeal a fine. Got rejected but didn’t get told that, only received another letter saying my fine was now larger. Tried to say that we agreed with their rejection but that we’d pay the original amount, no reply and now they are …

I’ve had to speak to them twice so far regarding estate parking. Got the same young lady twice (should have got her name really) and she is incredibly helpful. …

Remove that robbery camera , your company setup this camera to rob people and take money, in this bad situation financially for everyone. You sent me a £100 penalty! I just went to buy food for my family. I’m going to complain to further …

The worst parking company i have ever seen in my life, i have received two penalty charges for staying at the McDonalds parking in Portsmouth for 2 hours and a half while staying for not more than 30 minutes, i have proof of job i have done …

Absolute SCAM of a company I went through a drive through at McDonalds I didnt even stop! They sent me a fine of £100 stating i had been there 132 minutes!!!! I wasnt even there for 10 minutes. Iv done an appeal iv had no response I cant …

An absolute shockingly awful business model – they operate parking in our development and impossible to get hold of to request a permit, do not answer emails or phone calls, but more than happy in issuing parking fines left right and center. Anyone associated with this sham of a company should be ashamed of themselves.

Horrible company to deal with! I had a valid parking permit sitting on my dashboard. It got moved while I was driving but you could still clearly see that it was the exact same permit! …

I know we all complain when we get a ticket but there are times when it’s a genuine error. I parked in Mac Donald’s in St Austell checking the signage which stated 2 hour parking. I had a meeting there after travelling for 2.5 hours and …

McDonald’s Car park at Gatwick airport, with a 90minute time limit.. I was there for about 20/30mins max.
Go to drive out and the ticket repeatedly doesn’t work, after about 2minutes of …

Found out that MET are not financially regulated which by law all debt collection agencies are required to do so. One of the worst parking companies out there. They provide a customer service phone number and only have 1 option when you get …

Beware! Beware! this is money making scheme. I regularly go to 213 commercial road Mcdonalds to eat. Few times in the last couple of years I received penalty charge saying that I overstayed and all paid because i thought they were …

Have reported them to the BPA. They shouldn’t be allowed to operate as a business. We appealed our fine and have a reference and we have tried to call again and again to speak to someone about an update. We have had nothing from them since …

Probably if there is any negative marking i will give it to this company. they are bunch of emotionless people who are trying to ripped people off. I overstayed at Mcdonals by 30 min as i was discussing my divorce with my friend and even …

This parking company is an absolute joke. Received a parking charge notice on Saturday 21st December for McDonald’s, the charge was for the Sunday 15th. 90 minutes is the max stay, unfortunately I didn’t realise and was in McDonalds with a …

I suspect these guys are crooked – they are definitely incompetent. Just received a charge because one of the vans we own visited McD’s Gallows Corner, Romford – once at lunchtime, and then again in the evening. They sent us 2 pic’s – the …

Fraud company ! Rude and thief company Shame on McDonald they using their services . I am boycotting McDonald . We spend money in McDonald their issue parking ticket to us ridiculous. …

The absolute worse company ever!!!

I have been trying to contact them for 11 days now, sent 3 emails without any …

This company is an absolute joke!
I appealed my ticket which then got rejected so now I’m willing to pay the £60 they’ve put it up to £100 within 2 days???
I will take them to court if i have to!

If you have received correspondence from this company and are not satisfied please complain to the BRITISH PARKING ASSOCIATION & GOV.UK. Surely 181 negative ratings on google is enough to tell anyone this company is unprofessional and …

**NOTICE FOR ANYONE WITH A FINE**

This company uses shady tactics and confusing signage to bate people into their …

PRIVATE COMPANY DO NOT PAY IF THEY USE THE WORDS “”PARKING CHARGE”

One day I have made two(2) trips to Mc’Donalds- breakfast and lunch.
In the PCP against me your company used the time when I arrived for my breakfast and the time when I left after my lunch, ignoring my morning departure and …

this company is very bad and just seeks money from trustworthy residents. I have parked in Virgin Active and my permit issued by VA had fallen and was not on display- they fined me, I appealed and they did not acknowledge that I had a valid permit- LBHF was much more thoughtful about decisions! Very poor!!! who are these people?

I broke down in a MacDonalds car park and unfortunately RAC made me wait for almost 3hrs so they fined me… I’ve appealed but haven’t heard from them at all, I’m trying to call their HO but I can’t get through… the only thing we seem to …

DO NOT WASTE A PENNY ON THESE CROOKS, THESE ARE NOT PENALTY CHARGE LIKE YOU GET FROM LOCAL COUNCILS OR POLICE BUT RATHER INVOICES AND THEY ARE NOT BACKED BY LAW , PLZ SEE ATTACHED PICS FROM BBC WEBSITE!

Biggest scam artists ever! Enforcing parking in a unjust way. Sending letters on the last day for the bill to be paid on the reduced rate. Stating 35 days for an appeal to be had. The victim has one option. Pay up today! It’s such a scam!

Got a ticket for using Mcds Drive through twice at two different times. I was also went to petrol station 5miles away during the time I was “PARKED UP” for 3hrs… …

£100 fine, but you can clear it by paying half in 14 days, but wait, I’m innocent I hear you say, it’s not my fault, I’ve done nothing wrong… then submit an appeal, that apparently takes 35 days to process, thus taking you over the 14 day …

Absolutely disgusting company. I’ve tried to call to pay my fine, (which was ridiculous) but no one answers the phone…EVER! Now transferred to another company to collect. So I’m in a worse situation because they don’t provide a decent customer service representative to answer the phone. I’m fuming! Disgusting and thieves.

Unfriendly service, not fair, shame that company prospering in this country

Absolutely disgusting! they put two photos together from separate visits to make out as if we were there for 3hours!who honestly would spend 3 Hours at a BP station! Not the first letter we have received but the way they put the times and …

Useless company. I’ve been trying for 4 months to get a resident permit, to no avail. They had the cheek to fine me £100 for no permit, but you cannot get hold of them to get a permit. Useless bunch of dishonest people. I cannot believe they are in business.

Met issued a parking ticket using a different registration number / vehicle make, subtly changing an E to an F. The appeal website page won’t load on any device, despite the payment page loading with no issue. Tried to call number for customer services but keeps ringing.

These people should not be allowed to operate. How can the government allow companies such as this to exist?! Money is the only answer! Disgusting.
My story being this… My partner picked someone up from McDonald’s at Weston …

I just paid £100 for validating my ticket, can you believe it? I entered Gatwick Mcdonald’s for 20 minutes and I could not validate my ticket as I did not know and this rule is only for this restaurant as far as I know. This is totally unfair and making the people on trap. Be careful about Gatwick Mcdonald’s.

Absolute con artists!!!! I was parked at Virgin Active in Chiswick, I HAD a valid parking permit, unfortunate for me it must of dropped when i closed the door. Sent them proof of this and they still refuse to accept my appeal. I will be …

Absolutely ignorant and what is even worse – liars ! I had not received the initial parking charged that they presumably sent and they passed my details for debt recovery for not paying the fine. When asked for the proof of letter sent, …

This company have wrongly accused me of parking my vehicle over 90mins and did not take into consideration I made two trips in one day. This happened in a McDonald’s car park in Nottingham, Nuthall Road. …

Absolute crooks. How can you have evidence of visiting McDonald’s twice, who keeps receipts for everything. Went there for drive through for lunch and then again when my daughter finished her shift, roughly 3 hours later and some how they …

Money scamming baskets, poor customer service and do not care about people just want money and that’s all. I see many other reviews on here – which tend to agree. MET Parking services are absolutely careless and pathetic towards people.

Pure and unadulterated daylight robbery.
Prey on vulnerable people including the disabled and elderly who take longer in the retail outlets and are more likely to incur a fine. Utter discrimination. …

No stars as they are a bunch of criminals, but wouldn’t let me post without one. Constantly drumming up fake fines and unfortunately picking on the same group of people in my office. We all put our reg numbers in a machine DAILY and they keep saying we’ve overstayed our time. Bunch of jokers

These people are ACTUAL criminals. I have reported them to the police, and to the BPA and I recommend you do too. They fraudulently issue parking tickets to people at Stansted airport who stay between 30 and 60 minutes in the hope they …

Impossible to contact. We live on an estate which is managed by Met Parking. I have every right to park there but keep getting tickets, as no one answers the phone at Met Parking. I can’t get a permit or new visitor permits. This seems …

I have also become a victim of their Gatwick McDonald’s scam where I raised the barrier to exit. Only realised I needed to validate the ticket on exit when it was too late as there was a queue of cars behind me also waiting to exit. I …

This is madness,daylight robbery.

I have been waiting since 27th November 2019 …

Stansted Airport, M&S, Starbucks and McDs are the biggest MONEY SCAM ARTISTS THERE ARE They want you to use their facilities and spend money yet if you are delayed getting onto their site or paying even by few minutes they will charge you …

Couldn’t give these clowns 0 stars or I would. Parked in one of there car parks and no machine to pay by card or cash so had to phone. I have 2 cars and van registered with them. By mistake I pressed the wrong 1 and payed foe my van when we …

Went to McDonald’s twice in one day, was photographed going in on the first visit and then photographed going out on the second visit!!! In between visits I went through dartford crossing twice and I was at a port in Dover so how I managed …

Same happened to us at McDonald’s in Greenhithe. On a weekend, with the parking being absolutely empty. They have no gates or tickets. We over stayed by a little bit and received a £100 charge. There are cameras which record your entry and exit without you knowing. Just avoid parking at MET

Loathsome; a scam. Penalty far in excess of what any reasonable person would consider to be just and proper for a short inadvertent overstay. Met Parking Services only exists because councils and commercial users are co-conspirators and …

Shabby Scammers out to trap people. Entered BP Station outside Stansted Airport to fill up with Petrol. Subsequently parked Car to check my Navigation back to South London. Took a call and then decided to get Breakfast in the BP shop. …

Disgusting. £50 for parking 12 minutes over the time which is NOT clearly stated at all. I went into mcdonalds and paid for a service in there and get sent a parking fine 2 weeks later!!! To top it off they ask you for 10p to send you a confirmation text that you have paid the fine!!!!! Right before christmas aswel thanks alot.

1 Million percent this is just wrong

I have given you a receipt and I was in the car park less that 40 min (limit is …

First time using leisure centre car park, signage not clear got ticket as I didn’t login on an iPad. Appealed and submitted receipt proving was was a customer, yet my appeal was still rejected!

Absolutely fuming! £100 fine for parking in McDonald’s car park for staying over allowed time !! Wasn’t aware of any time restrictions !! plus went there with friend had 5 kids between us for tea !! (It wasnt even busy) Won’t be using mc Donald’s again!

McDonalds, Mondial Way, Heathrow. Parked a little over the 60 minute limit. Pathetic McDonalds. I know it’s “fast food”, but many people want to spend more than an hour there. Kids’ parties, etc.? I was there working from afar, but now …
