Isn't it telling that they haven't got a single good review.

In one of their ANPR operated car parks on the day we entered our registration into the machine, it told us a price to pay, we paid it by NFC and got confirmation of payment. Then their machine must have had a glitch as a Teamviewer session came on the screen (remote control software used by T support teams) but we thought nothing of it as we had confirmation of payment and no tickets are required anyway as it is ANPR operated.

Back from holiday we received a PCN and even after showing them proof of payment they refuse to cancel the PCN because their system doesn't show it correctly. Have they learnt nothing from other IT scandals that show IT does go wrong?

Heartless organisation, will see them in court.

I think you should allow for no star, because this company is the worst I ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I sent a letter to appeal the Parking Charge (£ 100) stating that at the time of the alleged contravention, I had parked in a disabled bay and clearly displayed a valid Blue Badge, there was no clear signage stating that disabled people had to pay, had there been appropriate signage stating that payment was required even for Blue Badge holders, I would have complied. There was no intention to avoid payment, and the failure to do so was due solely to a genuine misunderstanding based on unclear or insufficient signage.

The worst company, don’t even think they proceed in a legal way! Fines given minutes apart! Absolute MADNESS
Avoid any apartment complex or car park that uses this provider!!!

Went to Shere surgery car park. Got a ticket, appeal process a joke. 1.1 average reviews on this platform so disappointed places like shere surgery don't use more reputable firms

No surprises that this bunch of crooks get a 1 star. I appealed and they didn't respond but sent straight through to a debt agency. Will not be shopping again at the Peel Centre in Stockport , back to the TC, out of principle i would rather go out of my way than risk using the car park again!

Awful company. Charged £100 for a fine for a ticket that cost £1. Scammers and thieves

Ocean Parking are a totally unreasonable company. They refuse to accept factual evidence of breach of IPC Code of Practice. The follow on IAS appeal system is neither Independent nor unbiased being owned by William Hurley, the chair of IPC, and partner of Gladstones Solicitors all of whom have a sole interest in maximising profits from parking facilities regardless of the circumstances.
Avoid this parking company at all costs and any retail centres that associate with their practices.

Scam, parked on a public road with clear signs of parking times set by the local council and fined £200 across two PNC's due to being next to a parking complex they manage.

Very dishonest business.

A total scandal of a company who should be reported for theft along with the landowners who clearly take advantage of a vulnerable general public. I went on site at Knighleys in Towyn North Wales and one machine was not working to pay the fee. I left within minutes and was disgusted to receive a fine of £100.

Totally disgusting vermin if people who run companies like this

Worst of the worst. We were fined £100 for disabled badge not displayed clearly when parking in a disabled bay at Princess dock car park. The badge could be seen as shown on their photo evidence but had slipped on the dashboard thereby blocking some of the details on it. Despite sending a full photo of the valid badge as soon as we got the charge the appeal was rejected. Their policy claims that if a valid disabled badge is shown before exiting the car park then the charge will be exempted but we were totally unaware there was a charge until we received it at a later date by post. Nothing on the car to say there was a problem, no staff member asking to see the badge. Sometimes when trying to assist a disabled person who is in a wheelchair and registered blind you may not always be able to do a final check on the badge. Unethical and unreasonable company who have ensured that Moose coffee in the dock is now another place we can’t visit with our disabled daughter as it’s just not worth the hassle of knowing they are actively looking to catch you out over anything they can find to scam more money from you. We simply will not use any of their car parks again and advise everyone to do the same.

£100 is crazy, it’s simply a scam

I parked at gloucester quays retail park for 2hrs, 22 minutes and 57 seconds and was fined £100 for it. There's nowhere for disabled people to go to the bathroom in most shops which extended the length of our stay, the entirety of which was otherwise spent visiting several shops at the retail park or eating food purchased here.
I will be finding alternative shops from now on. I don't want to do this, I like some of them, but I don't want to be extorted for having mobility problems.

Horrendous company. Charged £60 for minutes over allowance in a free-to-use carpark! Appealed with reasons for lateness explained (Special needs children) and wasn't even acknowledged as a human. Minus stars would be more appropriate. What are the landowners thinking pairing up with these absolutely jokers?!

Had a parking fine from them, appealed it but knew the outcome beforehand, they are not bothered about the situation just bothered about ripping people off, will not go to st James park in Sheffield ever again, it was crap anyway

This company is an absolute rip off, just been fined for not paying a car park fee in Towyn fair car park when actually I paid the fee in the ticket machine.
Dont be stupid and use another
Car park

The worst company that can ever exist regarding parking. The scam system they use in Peel Centre
Stockport should be reported at the authorities. You pay, yet it says failed to print a ticket and if you go back on system you should pay again ,I have received numerous parking tickets from this scam company and their appeal team is as ridiculous they could be. Please boycott this company.

Parked at Blackpool fc hotel. Paid for parking as part of my bill. Received parking charge for £100, provided proof of payment as part of my appeal which they rejected!!! Blackpool fc hotel confirm it was their error!! Absolute scam! Take me to court! I have proof!

Need closing down these do
Crooks

I just received a parking fine off ocean parking for my motorcycle stating that that was parked up nearly 4 hours but had been there twice that day first time camera seen me entering but never leaving after 20 minutes or so the second time they seen me leave but not entering and ended up Getting fined for over stay the time I received parking notice it was too late to appeal fell totally ripped off there’s definitely something wrong with there cameras

***Updated - my appeal was upheld and parking ticket cancelled. Do they even check you've paid on RingGo or just send tickets and see who appeals and has evidence? Will be taking photos of car and sign every time I park now (in addition to RingGo receipt)! ***
I received a parking ticket via this company, saying I didn't have a ticket displayed in my car. However I'd paid for parking via the RingGo app and have evidence for this. This was in Milton Keynes and I definitely paid for the correct type of space I was parked in (standard - with number displayed on post in front of space). Correct car reg, time and car within space etc. I'm waiting to hear on my appeal.
