    Well I have had many years in and around the Parking Industry so might as well put my knowledge to good use on here.

    I know the people, the industry, the characters!


    Care to enlighten us with your knowledge, myself and the regulars here are always all ears when it comes to parking scammers
  • Hmmm I would really like to believe that and if any evidence was shown that some of the parking companies are decent as you put it, I would happily change my stance towards them, alas I fear I may be waiting a long time for any evidence of this coming to light, as always though, happy to be proved wrong.
  • So your on the fence then, well that's your choice, personally and having dealt with a particularly nasty parking company it will take a lot more than a six of one, half a dozen of the other to change my mind about what I think of these companies.


    On a slightly separate note I am reasonably sure that a lot of the people who work for these companies are probably quite genuine and just trying to earn a living whereas the owners, well that's a completely different story isn't it.


    Ex clampers springs to mind.

    Guess they were genuine until in the employ of parking scammers?

    The brainwashing then starts to scam people.

    Those working for scammers are sad people but for them, no doubt better than Universal Credits

    ''associated companies'' in the parking industry - decent people?

    What could you mean?
    And on the other side of the pitch there are some equally odious people!
    Who do you mean?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I can think of some very odious people on both sides.

    Most people within the parking industry are just folk trying to make a living. The ethos of the various companies comes from the top.

    It's no coincidence that it's the same company names that crop up on here day after day.

    Hi folks, thankyou for the advice & help so far.


    This is 100% not a wind up! I am seriously worried about my future!


    I have a 5K debt to pay back to my family for the help with the initial bailiffs, they clamped both my cars, he forced past me at the front door at 7:30am in the morning whilst my 2y old, 6 years old and my wife were eating breakfast, we could not take them to school/nursery as he would not release my wife’s car, even after the proof of ownership with V5 docs.


    This was abhorrent stuff I wish not to be repeated.


    My head was well buried for 5 years due to what I considered a confident source, why would I read more if it would appear the advice was working for such a long time?


    I asked for HELP & it is genuine.
