It really works
I was a bit sceptical at the beginning but it really worked. They did everything for me and successfully defended claim and I didn't have to pay £473. I can honestly recommend them.

Exceptional
This is an excellent service. Having been dealing with an aggressive and unreasonable litigation company Parking Mate managed to have the court case brought against me struck out.
The service from start to finish was fast, efficient and easy to understand.
Very highly recommended.

Support through an intimidating process
These cases are a drawn out, stressful process, where intimidation is used in the form of bureaucratic bamboozlement. Put under enough stress with no support it's hard not to give in to remove that pressure even if you believe it's unjust. Very grateful to Parking Mate providing that shield of reassurance and knowledge of the process stages and the firms' tactics to allow a fair result even if it takes years.

Highly Recommend
Leo worked tirelessly to help us deal with a PCN including getting a wrongly issued CCJ set aside. The result was the parking companies legal team dropping the case at the last minute. Highly recommend his service to help fight these ruthless, unscrupulous, bullies

Keep away, once you pay they go quiet
after paying for their service and help i sent them 3 Emails regarding my appeal - did not have the courtesy to reply - basically once they received payment they went radio silent and did a runner.
I would not recommend their service :(

Hi Karl, Let’s work together to beat the parking companies, not attack those who are trying to help.
I’d like to clarify that my service is designed as a self-service solution to help you challenge your parking charge notice (PCN).
Here’s what you can expect from our service:
We assess your PCN.
We provide a tailored appeal letter.
We give clear instructions on how to submit the appeal letter.
We supply a detailed PDF with step-by-step guidance for your specific appeal.
We send four follow-up emails to assist you throughout the process.
Our service is built to empower you with the tools and information needed to handle your appeal independently, as successfully done by many other customers. We do not offer ongoing individual support beyond the initial service, as this is not included in the package you purchased.
We take pride in helping drivers fight unfair parking tickets, and we kindly ask for your support in this mission.
Leo
Custom service is non-existent
Leo has started to ignore me. I purchased his services back in 2020 for a parking ticket, which either wasn't appealed or was unsuccessful. Four years later, I got a court letter and texted Leo on WhatsApp, where he said to purchase the court service on the website but completely ignored the fact that they had appealed this in the past. I've been trying to contact him for the past week and have received no response.
To add, I purchased his service less than a month ago for a separate new parking ticket, which was rejected, and he isn't responding to my matters either!

Let me tell you, nobody knows parking tickets better than I do, and we’re doing tremendous work fighting these parking ticket bullies. Believe me, we’re helping so many people, and that’s why customer service can sometimes get a little backed up. It’s not because we’re ignoring you—it's because we're working day and night to make sure we tackle every case, and that takes time.
Now, it's important to be patient because we operate based on deadlines, making sure we handle cases on time. So, if you purchased our court service, rest assured, it will be addressed. And the same goes for your recent appeal. We’re doing our best to get through the requests, and we're grateful for your support. We’re all on the same team here, and we’re going to win this battle against unfair parking tickets, bigly!
Stay patient, we’ll get to you. Trust me, it’s going to be fantastic!
Leo your PCN champion

Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant. Was sent a parking charge notice, filled in the questionnaire on the Parking Mate site, paid the £4.99, sent the appeal letter to the private parking company, and within two weeks, the charge was cancelled. Highly recommend!

Definitely worth the money
Got ‘caught’ at the infamous McDonald’s Stansted scam hotspot. I know I could have appealed this myself for free but could not afford the time to trawl through the information on forums such as Martin’s MSE and get my head bitten off if I asked the wrong question. For me the small initial outlay to get a professionally written letter was more than worth it for saving time and sanity. The scammers dropped the case once it went to POPLA.
Would not hesitate to recommend Parkingmateuk

Excellent help and a very professional letter template which helped us to have our parking fine withdrawn. Very grateful for the service. Well worth the money for the professional letter template which covered the legal aspects to defend the parking charge. Thank you so much.

I ended up losing my court case …. So basically cost me another £99 as I’ve not heard anything back from them since I informed them of the fact I lost the case …
Disappointing to say the least …
I’ve replied to your request via WhatsApp and you still haven’t replied after 2 days ?.

Generally unprofessional and unhelpful
Their system is fully automated, they give you a set form to send and don't actually look over your case or anything. They provide their WhatsApp and have responded but are very rude and hostile for some reason, generally unprofessional. I followed their instructions but it didn't help so I went to the landowner who helped me instead as parking mate didn't respond to my email. I find this service to be unnecessary in my opinion, if you really want to challenge private parking, you can actually find helpful advice online for free. I decided to write this review because for some reason they kept emailing me saying thanks for confirming that the PCN is sorted, which I never did, so that's a mystery. Definitely not a win for them in this instance so just setting the record straight.

Our service is designed to be fully automated for a reason—it streamlines the process of challenging parking tickets, allowing users to get their appeals done in under 2 minutes.
If a fully automated system were managed by humans, it would defeat the purpose. We’re here to make it easy, efficient, and hassle-free, using legal loopholes that will make parking companies think twice.
Now, let’s be clear: we’re not afraid to be firm with fake reviews, but those who genuinely want to challenge parking tickets will find our system incredibly easy to use. Our focus is on results, and that’s why we’re proud of the success we’ve had helping thousands of customers.
For those who prefer to seek free advice online, you are welcome to do so. But if you want to save time and avoid the hassle, our service is here to give you a fast, effective solution.
We’re challenging parking companies like nobody else, and by 2025, our goal is to beat them completely. That’s why our service is absolutely necessary.
We’re committed to helping drivers fight back, and we won’t stop until parking companies are held accountable.
Thank you for your feedback, and if there are specific issues you’d like addressed, we’re happy to look into them.
Thank you very much for PCN team
Thank you very much for PCN team. They understand my appeal and the sorted out. Thank you for them.
