Victim of cloned plates - Kiren provided smooth solution.

I had a situation where my plates were cloned and I got tonnes of fines and it was later forwarded to Debt recovery plus to handle.

I spoke with a lovely lady named Kiren who investigated the evidence provided and had the case removed from my name.

Smooth experience. Thank you Kiren

Mike from Debt Recovery was very helpful- I had been receiving communications from debt recovery in regards to a fine issued by Smart parking due to them failing to notify Debt Recovery that they had cancelled my parking notice which then meant I was receiving letters to be taken to court. speaking with Mike and making him aware of what’s been going on, he was very helpful and very apologetic as this shouldn’t have happened, I appreciate all he has done to help and get that cancelled. Many thanks again.

Mike was compassionate and helpful in listening to me and my questions about the fine.
He was helpful in offering advice and proactive in giving me assistance.

I was anxious about calling the debt recovery line and I found his approach calm and reassuring.
This made all the difference to me in managing the debt.
Thank you

Is it possible to give zero stars

Is it possible to give zero stars? Agent on the phone threatened me, like, literally threatened me. I then said fine I'll pay today but I won't be able to eat for the rest of the month. They took the payment without hesitation. I had to live for 2 weeks on rice and sauce.

I got a parking ticket because I stayed in a McDonalds for 20 minutes too long in a hire car, so the rental company got the initial period with the ticket, I got the late fees. I had no opportunity to pay the lower fee because I was there in a hire car as I'd travelled over 200 miles to see my friend who was contemplating taking his own life, he desperately needed a friend. We spent the time in the McDonalds. A few months later I get a final notice warning from these creatures (I can only assume they've got their staff brainwashed because they're not human). Left a note on my file which said it would get reviewed, it doesn't, it goes to an empty pot that no-one looks at. They threaten with legal action and talk to you like you're a criminal. I explained how the charge happened as I figured it was worth mentioning I was trying to save someone's life, they threatened to call the police (I'm not joking, I've got this on a recorded transcript).

Bottom line, I wish nothing but the worst for this company and everyone associated with it and I mean that with every ounce of my existence. Absolute scum of the earth and they don't care. I'm not a religious person myself, however the idea that there is a hell for people like this does bring me some comfort.

Will they read this review? Probably not. If they do will they care? No, they'll probably laugh. I hope their families know what they do for work. If anyone I was related to was doing this I'd be embarrassed and ashamed.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the way my parking charge has been handled by both CPM and Debt Recovery Plus.
I never received the original Parking Charge Notice or any follow‑up correspondence from CPM. The first notification I was aware of came from Debt Recovery Plus. This letter did not include any images, timestamps, or clear evidence relating to the alleged incident, which caused confusion and concern.
In an effort to understand the situation, I contacted Debt Recovery Plus and spoke with Leon Beckford. I explained that I had never received two letters that he claimed had already been sent. Rather than offering clarification, proof, or support, he simply insisted that the letters had been issued. When I asked how I could obtain video or photographic footage of the alleged incident, or what the appropriate steps were to resolve the matter, I was told to either pay the charge, take the matter to court, or seek a solicitor. The response felt dismissive and unhelpful, and Mr Beckford appeared eager to end the call rather than assist.
This is not the first time I have experienced issues involving CPM. On a previous occasion, incorrect information was provided, including the wrong date, with claims that I was parked on a date when I was not. Taken together, these experiences raise serious concerns about accuracy, transparency, and customer treatment.
While I understand that not every dispute can be resolved immediately, I do expect a professional, respectful approach and clear guidance when raising legitimate concerns. Unfortunately, the service and attitude I encountered fell well below an acceptable standard.
