I'm still receiving 50 plus calls a day from private number, writing lies in a blog stating false accusations.
Desparking is a fraudulent company which is running from a garage, without a connected phone line or email address.
They reach out to home owners who advertise about subletting thier car parks and then desparking they there details and subletting on thier website.
I can share all the evidence as they have already published my phone number and email address so anyone want to see the prove they can reach out.
Avoid these scammer,

Purchased parking space online
Purchased parking space online. I used the exact authorised location as provided in my confirmation email from Des Parking. I arrived and left well within the time frame. I received a parking fine two weeks later. I will state if Des Parking tell me I didn't park in the designated parking area, it'll be a lie. I parked at the exact location provided in their confirmation at Axis House, I had to pay the fine as even after providing proof of payment my appeal was unsuccessful. Be very careful as this was obviously a scam!

Thank you for reaching out regarding your recent experience.
Upon reviewing the details, it appears the parking fine was issued because the vehicle was parked outside the designated area specified in your booking. As a member of the British Parking Association and fully compliant with PCI standards, we take adherence to proper parking guidelines seriously to ensure smooth operations and a fair experience for all customers.
While we understand your concerns, the fine would have been assessed based on the parking management system identifying a deviation from the authorised location provided in your confirmation email. Our appeals process, in alignment with industry standards, carefully considers each case with provided documentation, and in this instance, the appeal was upheld in line with the parking terms and conditions.
Also to make you aware it is clearly stated on our terms and conditions on our platform that we do not own any of the car parks and are not responsible, this information is also mentioned on some of the booking confirmations too.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions or if there’s anything else we can assist you with.
I absolutely do not recommend this company
Unfortunately, I am another person who received a PCN despite having paid for a parking space through Des Parking. For 3 weeks they could not even write back to my messages about the fine through no fault of my own. I had to ask many times to intervene in this matter and so far no response. I had to pay a fine of 60 pounds!!! The company only takes money and customer issues do not interest them at all.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience, but we would like to clarify a few points. The parking ticket you received was due to parking in the wrong bay and not following the specific instructions provided by the host, which is essential to avoid such situations. It is always the driver’s responsibility to ensure they park in the correct location.
Additionally, as outlined in our terms and conditions, DesParking does not own any of the car parks listed on our platform. Our role is to connect drivers with available parking spaces, and this is clearly stated in the information we provide. We encourage all users to carefully follow the guidance from hosts to prevent issues like this from occurring.
This a scam company
This a scam company, made a booking via the website. Upon arrival at Fresh Wharf there were no available slots. Tried to call customer service no answer sent an email no response tried to contact via WhatsApp again no response.
They have even tried to log this as a false review. Perhaps they should actually provide support.

This review by Tiawanna Lee is false and inaccurate. We have concrete evidence proving that the person used fake details to register on our platform.
This individual messaged our customer support team being very aggressive, rude and abusive and attempting to damage our reputation which is clearly stated in the messages which we do not tolerate any abuse at all.
Additionally, the WhatsApp number they provided for contact, +447584099541, does not match the details used during registration. Our team has responded to all legitimate inquiries and continues to offer support to all our legitimate customers.

Very poor customer support
Would strongly not recommend to use this carpark at all. Contacted support desk throuh email but no response at all. As a customer, was left so helpless on the day that i really need their support as im not sure wether i have park on the right site. I ended up paying more by having penalty charge. Totally disappointed!

Dear Wilma,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any frustration you experienced. However, after reviewing the situation, the host has provided clear evidence that you did not park in the designated area as advised, which unfortunately led to you receiving a PCN.
We understand this is disappointing, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused.
Please feel free to reach out if you need further clarification, and we hope this experience won’t deter you from considering us again in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.
Despite last minute booking
Despite last minute booking, still plenty of options to choose from. Unfortunately, the owner of the space did not answer calls / . messages as photograph did not clearly represent where to park

Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered with the parking service at East India Car Park. It’s disappointing to learn that you didn’t receive the necessary parking instructions from the host of the parking space and were unable to reach our customer support team due to the high volume of enquiries we are receiving.
Please know that we take your concerns seriously. I’ve escalated this matter to our team, and we will investigate why you weren’t provided with clear parking details and why your emails went unanswered. We aim to improve our service based on your experience.
Kindly provide us with your booking reference and any further details, and we will ensure this is resolved promptly.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

Thank you for getting in touch, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you’ve experienced.
It appears that the issue may have arisen from parking in an incorrect spot at the location, which resulted in a note being left on your vehicle rather than an official Parking Charge Notice (PCN) or fine. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially after booking a space in good faith.
As we are a new platform, we are currently handling a high volume of inquiries, and we deeply appreciate your patience while we work to address your concern. Rest assured, we are committed to improving our response times and providing better support. I will ensure your issue is prioritized and looked into as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Last week
Last week, I booked and paid for parking at DesParking Car Park, Clipstone Mews, London. However, upon arrival, I found that no such car park exists at this location. Additionally, their customer service is entirely unresponsive—neither via email nor WhatsApp.
It's clearly a scam!

Scam Company
Paid to park at "Heathrow Airport, UB3, Bath Road 242
UB3 5AY Harlington" for 2 hours, I received a PCN and my appeal has been denied stating this company does not operate any form of payments at that car park. "This application is not accepted at this site." Scam company avoid.
My reply to the message below: Your website clearly states the address 242 Bath Road UB3 5AY, if you open google maps you can clearly see on the entrance of Axis House it states the address is 242 Bath Road, and the image used on your website is the front doorway of Axis House as well. The bays parallel to Axis House parking the code I was given did not work on them so it was confirmed to me at the time I was parking in the correct location. This will be taken to court if the PCN is not removed.

Thank you for your message. The reason a PCN was issued is that you parked in the wrong bay and did not follow the instructions provided by the host or the booking details.
While you paid for parking, it is essential to park in the correct location as outlined in the instructions. Unfortunately, failure to do so can result in a PCN.
We apologise for any confusion, but we encourage all users to carefully review the booking and parking instructions to avoid such issues. If you need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to us directly on support@desparking.uk
We wish you the best.

This is scam business
This is scam business. They are renting out parking spaces they have no right to let.
I'm a victim. They are letting my parking space w/o my permission. They have stolen photos from JustPark and use them to let out my space.

Dear Everyone,
This is a false statement which we will be chasing up legally at this point as this is deformation of character and also as WE DO NOT OWN / WE DO NOT EVER CLAIM TO OWN any of the parking on our platform this is clearly stated in our terms and conditions.
If anyone is found to be listing spaces they do not have the permission to they will be suspended from our platform immediately and the listing will be removed immediately.
As you can see this is a clear fake review and copy and pasted from the same individual kindly look on our twitter where we are on the process of getting them all removed as we have been hacked by this individual +880 1746-280732

Scam! Never received the permit after payment
Purchased a parking spot in London Robert St. After paying I received an order confirmation stating that the payment was successful, but I never received any parking permit. I tried to reach the customer service via mail and via WhatsApp but I never received an answer in almost 2 weeks.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our platform does not provide parking permits directly as we do not own any of the car parks on our platform. The host of the car park is responsible for providing any necessary permits when you make a booking through our service.
We regret any inconvenience you have experienced. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@desparking.uk, and our team will be happy to help resolve the issue.
Best regards,
DesParking
Unable to contact after paying Scam??…
Unable to contact after my booking and payment. Tried their WhatsApp, FB messenger and email but no response. Turned up to the carpark which was chained and padlocked so I was unable to park. Thinking this must be some sort of scam. I had checked trust pilot before booking and saw a good rating so went ahead. Never again and less trusting of Trust pilot too now. Order was 3814 not 3813
