Terminally dishonest and unprofessional…

Terminally dishonest and unprofessional crooks. £100 fine for nothing. Filed appeal immediately, then received another demand for £100 a week later.

Appeal result due after 28 days, more than 30 days ago.

We'll see each other in court I guess, unless I pay the charge under protest and claim the money back from the retailer who promised "Free Parking".

Reported to BPA.

Absolute fraudsters. Tried sending me fake letters about bailiffs, when infact the court had barred them taking action against myself. Ring the county court direct as they are helpful, if in doubt.

Racists

They sent me a ticket modifying my name to humiliate me, I complained saying why did they send that and the answer was it was taken from DVLA by a third party, they never provided the name of that 3rd party (it doesn’t exist for sure) and in DVLA my name is perfectly written. A bunch of racists bullies.

Aggressive money making company with no scruples

Aggressive money making company. Will hound and threaten you but not reply to your response. Their tactic is to scare you into paying money that is simply not owed. Sadly they abuse the court system to bolster their mafia type operation. How are they allowed to do this is? They must be fought rather than rolling over to their demands.

Absolutely horrible company

Absolutely horrible company. Issued a ticket to me for my own personal parking space on very sketchy grounds along with many other tenants of the same car park. Once found their own enforcement vehicle parked in my own space. I followed the correct process, decided not to pay after appeal. Got letters quoting ludicrous sums of money. I eventually caved in and arranged to pay after going through mediation following the start of the process of being taken to court, paid the money on the day of the agreement (5 years after the actual event). Still got threatened with court again a year later even though money had been paid as per the agreement. They never responded to any of my complaints or even just to the evidence I gave them that payment had been made. No idea how they get away with it.

As suggested by others recording a review on this site, this organisation is simply not interested in offering a fair service for those with exceptional circumstances surrounding a parking issue, moreover they see each event purely as a revenue generating solution. I blame the organisations whom outsource these parking control services to unscrupulous and uncaring companies, such as this one, as much as them. It is very sad that an 83 year pensioner can be taken advantage of. East Midlands Airport should be embarrassed.

Another example of a useless company…

Another example of a useless company leeching off people and taking their money, car park was full and there was a grey area that looked like a parking bay with another car parked there. Only in the shop for 30 minutes, yet they had enough time to dispatch a person to issue the PCN.
Deplorable behaviour and truly a parasitic company that has no value in society.

Awful company.

Awful company.. Hounded me for 3years over an alleged parking offence while taking an 86yr old lady shopping. Paid the PCN just for peace of mind. Company ignored my appeals letter, and unable to contact anyone. They should be investigated, and practices curtailed.

I happened to stop for 20 seconds…

I happened to stop for 20 seconds (according to them) at Bristol Airport, while waiting for the car in front to go through the barrier for the drop off and pick up carpark. And was fined £100.
Despite giving our reasons for the short stop and even telling them that we had then entered the carpark. They still said that I had committed the offence and had NO further grounds to contact them. My partner was too concerned, that we would get a further fine, that she paid it.
They are nothing more than a bunch of crooks and hopefully will enter Dante's Inferno at step 8!

Gained pcn for allegedly spending 10hrs parked in one of their carparks in which I take and pick up my partner from work most days for months without issue am now placing an appeal as an not stupid enough to have stayed there that long. The shop front is on the carpark. I have sent complaint email as well as appeal so far with no response tried to contact them via phone all automated no actual person to speak to!!

Awful company I can not believe they are allowed to rip people off this way. They sent me a letter before claim for an alleged pcn from Feb 2017 , no previous correspondence received.
Unhelpful and cocky attitude.
They were unwilling to help with coming to an agreement and only out to grab our hard earned money.
Have read a few comments that members of VCS staff have responded too on Facebook and their attitude is awful. Sounds like they have the lowest of the low working there.

Quite literally a company made to con people.

They issued a parking 'fine' at my residence. They took me to court and lost. Now its their final day to pay their costs or they'll be getting a visit from the bailiffs.

Do NOT cave in and pay any 'fines'. Do your research early, and you'll easily beat these fraudsters.

No ethics, no morals

This company has absolutely no ethics, no morals. It's predator, spider catching you in its web. Dishonesty is a synonym for this company.
