This company should burn in hell. Issue invalid fines when customers have paid. We were going to go through the appeal process but, as we are going to be out of the country for a few months, we couldn't risk bailiffs breaking into our property. We ended up paying. I thought the govt were going to do something about these companies that bleed the public for their own profits.

Thieving company. Two weeks in a row they have knowingly sent me fines for not paying for parking from the exact minute that I drove into the office park despite paying for parking the minute that I parked. I appealed both of these (which is time consuming) and they rejected my appeal without any valid reason. An absolute disgrace.

Don't try and recharge an electric car in a car park operated by this lot. You'll have to pay for parking too.

The webiste doesnt actually let you make an valid appeal. There is a drop-down box to "select" your reason for not paying... but guess what, it only gives you one option which wasnt appropriate ... so they will reject the appeal. I was a guest at the Carlton Hotel Bournmouth where parking was including in the price - this is a sleezy, dishonest, and very unprofessional practice. Guests at the Carlton Hotel beware!

I was issued with a PCN (Parking charge notice) from this company requesting payment. The car park in question was at Diglis bay, Worcester and had no parking machine, signage was confusing and without a mobile phone you was unable to purchase a ticket. I displayed my disabled blue badge and went about my business. No first letter arrived reference a parking fee, the second letter was undated, had no invoice/fee unless I scanned a code. I had no chance to appeal via the normal route as no original letter was sent. Next thing I am being threatened by a debt collection agency. I have basically told them to take me to court as I have more than enough evidence to prove my case! Challenge this company all the way. They do not reply to emails or via their website portal. Keep all evidence. Post it to both parking company and debt collection agency and ensure you get recorded or special delivery! Finally, I have informed the trading standards of this company and their breach of their own code of conduct let alone private car parks or trading standards. I have also threatened to counter sue them in court for the alarm, distress and threatening nature of the debt collection agency which has impacted my diagnosis of ptsd. Its a fraudulent and deceitful way to scam drivers. Fight them!

DESPITE EMAILS OF CONCERN NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO RESPOND. WHAT A NASTY AND UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY THIS IS - JUST LIKE DCB LEGAL.

Still Threatening Bailffs for Fraudulent Parking Fine

Another Rottweiler company like DCB Legal trying to frighten an elderly guy into paying for a parking fine he did not create.

Some b’stard registered his car at my address. Parkmavan refuse to believe I’m not the owner. Now they have contracted DCB to threaten me with bailiffs for not paying the fine.

DVLA - likely still working from home - have failed to de-register this car from my address.

Both Parkmavan and DCB are insisting I pay.

What a joke of a ‘company’ this is. We parked at East Midlands Premier Inn and paid £14 for parking overnight. The receptionist gave us a code to use to get it discounted. When it asked for car registration we accidentally put the code in there instead of our number plate (we didn’t realise this until we got a fine a couple of weeks later)’ They had photographic proof we entered and left the car park. We appealed and told them it was a genuine mistake….we also sent them proof of payment on our banking. Nope…they said our payment didn’t match up to the date we were there. Absolutely rubbish!!!! They reduced our ‘fine’ from £100 to £20….are we supposed to be grateful? They said if we don’t pay the £20 within 14 days then it will go back to the original amount. No phone number to actually speak to anyone and they took over a month to respond to our appeal.

Machine difficult and confusing to use. I did manage to pay eventually and have credit card receipt to prove it, but,looking online, appeal only seems to increase the charge from £60 to £100 because it takes them significant time to respond.

I have been charged £100 for a parking fine that i didn’t even know i was being charged for because i've been focusing on university full-time (i did not receive a letter before this for the £60 which i would’ve been more than happy to pay for)! i have no part-time job whatsoever, and i've contacted them twice via their website, in which they don’t respond to by the way. i’ve now contacted them via email for a complaint to see if £40 can be refunded back to me but i highly doubt that would even happen. They do not communicate with you! Just as long as their get money with no care about your circumstances.

Absolute scammers sent me a letter stating I was parked in a location for 23 hrs when in fact I was working absolute scumbags dont even interact with these people !!

What a disgraceful company. My elderly father received a parking fine after taking my mother who has Parkinson’s to the drs. He did indeed put the registration into the iPad (or so He thought). He is nearly 80 and a technophobe!

I appealed on their behalf. In what apparently takes 7 days for an appeal on the ParkMaven website we waited a month. I emailed 4 times and made a complaint to which NOTHING was returned. Not even an acknowledging reply. The stress has made mums Parkinson’s spike horrendously, dad was beside himself because they haven’t got money at that age to throw away and he knows he did his best to input that reg into the iPad.

Today I received the result of the appeal. Still no acknowledgment of all my emails, they have denied the appeal - but reduced the fine to £20 to cover the administration. You tell me that’s not them saving face and not having the nicety to say “yeah ok sorry we get it!”.

What a horrible company. Not everybody understands technology. Not everybody gets it right. Not everybody is a whizz - but at least my family have manners and reply to emails and say please and thank you.

ParkMaven - you carry on ripping the genuine people off. Hope you sleep well at night.
Reducing the fine to £20 to cover your administration costs - you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

I am trying to get in contact with anyone but a voicemail at PARK MAVAN as I have paid for multiple parking tickets and nobody can explain the situation and where I stand.

This should be finished now but then the "number" keeps growing!!

I worked for company PARKMAVEN, but I resigned after just one month because I couldn’t keep doing it in good conscience. During the training, I was instructed on how to deceive people and extract money from them. The company’s entire model was based on misleading and pressuring clients. I was told that no matter what arguments or valid points customers had, they should always be treated as if they were wrong and forced to pay. I decided to quit because I couldn’t take part in such practices.

This company is a disgrace conning old and vournable people out of money they said my car was parked for 3hrs no chance it was maybe 15 min max so don't pay these scammers whatever you do

I parked my car at Holiday Inn Express Exeter and paid the full parking fee using your onsite machine. Unfortunately, your machine does not provide receipts, leaving customers without direct proof of payment at the time of transaction.
A week later, I was shocked to receive a penalty notice, accusing me of failing to pay. Fortunately, I paid using my MasterCard, and I have clear evidence on my statement showing the transaction labeled "YourParkingSpace Canary Wharf ENG" dated 07th September (transaction date 09th September).
This entire experience reflects unprofessional and unacceptable practices. It appears to be an attempt to wrongfully collect penalties, relying on the fact that many customers may not have proof of payment without a receipt. Such behaviour is harassment and undermines trust in your company.
This situation has caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience. I urge you to update your payment systems to issue receipts and prevent this kind of issue from happening to others.
If this is not resolved promptly, I will escalate the matter to Trading Standards, consumer protection authorities, and local regulatory bodies to report what I consider a deliberate attempt to exploit customers.

I parked on a doctors surgery tk run in and get application forms 3 YEARS AGO.. there was no payment system. But I think they thought i parked there to use the school opposite which isn't allowed. I had a court letter, I appealed, I've now had an allocation to the small claims court, in their letter it states and they've underlined it in pen there is a copy of the defense enclosed. NOPE... there isn't. Let's see what happens now.

I received a parking fine whilst visiting a Beefeater restaurant for which I paid for, the appeal process was so difficult to progress and from the numerous negative reviews, I decided not to bother and pay the fine, in order to ensure the reduced offer.
This has left me feeling that they are scammers who make it very hard to appeal. I will never a car park that is controlled by Park Maven.

Saturday evening parking said £2.50 from 6pm to midnight. Paid on the app. We stayed 3 hours within that time and received a parking notice. Sent evidence of signage and my payment and successfully challenged. Took them 3 weeks to reply.

Scam big theives rubbish staff disgusting.they send me tickets for holiday in express Luton Airport after 2 years, even though I told them back in 2023 I was not driving the vehicle.such a big idiots.

Surprised to get a fine when I had paid (30 July) so had to go through appeal but it turns out "Unfortunately, it appears on this occasion there was a technical error which meant your vehicle registration was not sent through from the booking platform to our Parking Charge processing system. We can confirm this has now been resolved." which may help others who parked around this time.
