Parkingcontrolmanagement Avis 

Basically a bunch of scabs.

This lot should be locked up and the key thrown away. Basically should be illegal, preying on the poor to give to the rich.

I suspect Live chat doesn’t exist. No answer on phone. No acknowledgment of appeal. Will be forced to pay so as not to be liable for higher amount.

Run by a bunch of fools! Reported the same car for over 6 months and these bunch of low life’s can’t do anything about it. I have escalated this to The council and advised the council to look for another company as residents are very very unhappy with this crap company!

I am a health visitor and was issued a ticket whilst visiting a client. Appealed to no avail. This company is a scam

Total scam of company , my dad is disabled and holds a blue badge which unfortunately fell off the dashboard when shutting the door, appealed to this lot with surprise surprise no success so took it to IAS, sent prove of the badge and explain what happened surprise surprise dismissed it.. these companies should not be allowed to trade.. no common sense or benefit of the doubt.. rip off merchants

I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Parking Control Management UK (PCM), and I must say that my experience was nothing short of a nightmare. PCM's so-called "parking enforcement" tactics are nothing more than a blatant scam, designed to exploit innocent residents and line their own pockets with undeserved fines.

To begin with, PCM issued a parking notice to me, claiming that I had parked outside my designated bay. However, the truth of the matter was that my bay was indisputably occupied by someone else's vehicle at the time. It was clear to anyone with a functioning pair of eyes that I was not at fault, yet PCM had no qualms about exploiting this situation to extort money from me.

The level of incompetence displayed by PCM is truly astonishing. Their lack of attention to detail and disregard for basic facts is evident in their actions. Instead of conducting a thorough investigation or even bothering to verify the circumstances, they choose to blindly issue fines without any regard for the truth. It's a shame that an organization like PCM is allowed to operate and prey on innocent individuals who are simply trying to go about their daily lives.

But it doesn't stop there. PCM's customer service is equally atrocious. When I attempted to reach out to them to rectify their mistake, I was met with nothing but indifference and apathy. Their representatives were unhelpful, dismissive, and seemed more interested in defending their unjust actions than in providing any form of resolution. It is abundantly clear that PCM's sole objective is to squeeze as much money out of people as possible, regardless of whether or not they are actually guilty of any wrongdoing.

I strongly urge anyone who encounters PCM to exercise extreme caution. They are nothing more than a group of shameless scammers who have no regard for truth, fairness, or the well-being of the communities they operate in. Their actions tarnish the reputation of legitimate parking enforcement agencies and contribute to a general sense of mistrust and frustration among residents.

In conclusion, Parking Control Management UK (PCM) is a despicable organization that should not be allowed to operate under any circumstances. Their predatory tactics, complete disregard for facts, and lackluster customer service make them a blight on the parking enforcement industry. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from PCM and report their deceptive practices to the appropriate authorities.

Disgrace of a company! No regard for disabled people and those assisting the vulnerable. Total scam, deserve no stars whatsoever! Dropped off medication to a bedbounded family member and was less than 30 seconds, I hope that those working for this disgraceful company never need assistance.

The car park space has been paid and the Sales Team from Barratt Homes confirmed to First Port Management that I am entitled for the space. Abi from PCM advised that the permit is approved and my vehicle registered on their system, however, the result is I received 3 PCNs in total saying that all the appeals rejected, and I have to report to IAS for further assistance. The operative PM023 is totally unprofessional and be careful of object.

The lady from customer service team showed poor attitude and she never attempted to help. Tried to call again to raise the complaint but just hanged off my call. Awful experience and this company should never exist.

I am a Palliative Care Nurse working for my Local Hospice. I had a call to.go.out to a dying patient to support the patient in pain and her family. Family said to me on telephone just park in the car park its OK to park there. It was 8pm on a very dark winter evening. I was on my own in a very vulnerable area. I did not see signs and was eager to get to.my dying patient. I came out to find a parking guy put a ticket in.my hand. I have appealed twice been rejected. Now going to debt collectors and they want £100. Shocking uncaring people. I hope they never need a nurse to visit them for pain relief when they are dying.

Money grabbing, sneaky scumbags.
For some unknown reason, I assume because they were the cheapest option, this useless company were elected to patrol our private carpark.

Every single day since I moved here I park in MY allocated space that was allocated upon purchase of a property, every day my permit is on display. On this one unfortunate occasion it had been blown down off of the dashboard and these sneaky, light fingered cowboys happen to give me a ticket about 5 minutes after I had gotten out of the car. I sent pictures to prove it had fallen down and that I do in fact have a valid permit and that this is in fact MY parking space, yet they rejected and still want £60. I am disgusted with the service, on many occasions they’ve failed to give tickets to those who park without a permit and those who park in the disabled bays without badges, commercial vehicles are parking without any consequence which is apparently not allowed but no charge for them either!
My car is in this space 90% of the time as I work from home so it’s very possible they would have recognised the car and seen a permit on it before, yet they can barely wait for me to get out of the car before they slap a ticket on it.
I can see by the rest of the reviews that they seem to focus their energy on giving tickets to people caught in unfortunate circumstances.
outrageous and disgusting, times are financially difficult and £60 is a lot of money to some people, I am upset and anxious about paying this much for an unfortunate mistake that couldn’t have been avoided. They must have no conscience what so ever.

Terrible, issued ticket to resident with a permit who was unloading to property. But didn’t issue a ticket to a van who has been parked day and night and didn’t have a permit. Not interested in appeals. Awful company.

Aldi and Lidl have made a huge PR blunder employing these rip off merchants to patrol their car parks. I got an invoice for supposedly having a wheel on a white dividing line. Even if this were true - it isn't according to the pics - the tiny spaces sometimes make my small custom van impossible to park and actually get out of the van and enable others to get in to their cars on the other side. Since this is a hire vehicle the invoice was paid on my behalf not even giving me the chance to appeal. I will appeal anyway and take it to the IPC. At a time when everyone is struggling I wonder how these criminals sleep at night. I wonder if they were on their doorsteps clapping my NHS wife in 2020.

Useless company, customer service is awful. So I have a mortgaged property for which the developers decided to get PCM in to monitor visiting spaces. I have two spaces at the rear of my property and never requested for these to be monitored. The jobsworth parking guy will look for any excuse to penalise the residents even when the permit is displayed he will take pictures to make it look like it isn’t! Terrible company, why do companies like this exist!

Terrible company
The landowner receive the parking management services for free and the parking company receives the revenue for affixing tickets. So of course it’s in their interest to give tickets. No grace period or consideration period given. Your appeals are not taken into consideration.
You can only appeal via the IAS, which is part of the IPC. Uk Signs Ltd is a partner of IPC which is also owned by the director of PCM…all in this together. They do not read your appeals and are always in favour of Parking Control Management.

I stoped for one minute to let my partner out of the car the operator was sitting in a car took a photo without my knowledge and I received a ticket in the post, shortly after this the attendant parked on the pavement in the same spot as me and left the car there while issuing tickets absolute disgrace this company should be shut down as they are a cowboy outfit and only interested in your money and not in managing parking absolutely awful

Nasty company making an unscrupulous living. If you are block management - unless you want to make your residents lives a living nightmare I would suggest avoiding this company. They are also a nightmare to deal with from a client point of view. I have now hired a better company for my estate.

Greedy little cowboy company stealing money off people. The sign they claim was at the garage where I parked for 10 minutes was covered over. They claim it was there, but if it can’t be seen then how does anyone know it’s there. Shameful miss use of a pathetic law.

The warden must have been hiding and waiting for me to park. Due to safeguarding rules, I cannot give a reason why I needed to park urgently, but due to building works, there were no spaces in the immediate area. Within a minute of me walking away from the car, someone photographed my car, including 4 photos of the inside of my car - why? Surely that contravenes certain rules? I have paid as I cannot disclose why I needed to urgently park my car, but it feels wrong.

Grubby little company owned by a greedy little man from out eastwards. Greedy, unprofessional, with no common sense, and typical of the uneducated for adopting predatory means for money from old rope. Nobody can be proud if they don't earn their money with value, and these are the definition of uneducated and low-life people. If I was in their shoes, I would be jumping on the train tracks at Slough.

I was doing a job in a customers flat and was only there for 15minutes. Fair enough I was unlucky guess.

What was disappointing though was the ticket wasn't stuck to the wind screen making it clearly visible but instead folded up under the wiper. Perhaps the attendant likes Origami. Phew! lucky I noticed otherwise I may have had to pay more
