Awful experience with Parkonomy and Link Parking. Parked with my two young children, tried to use the app several times and an error kept coming up. Decided to get the children out as we were mea... See more

Claimed I didn't pay when I did
Claimed I didn't pay when I did. I no longer had ticket. Appealed and felt the letter was generically generated. There was no evidence that they looked into details of what I had appealed on. This is the second time I've dealt with this company and I am going to put my foot down on this matter. They are CROOKS and they should not be allowed to operate.

appalling company no ethics treated my family badly
1 man 1pound company allowed by management agencies to do as they please and screw the public
Worst company ever!!
I don’t even want to rate them a 1 they deserve nothing. The worst company I’ve ever had to deal with all they want to do is take your money. The man I spoke to on the phone was very rude as well, Martin was his name (the director apparently) He didn’t like it when I told him I’ve seen all the reviews about him. This company needs to be shut down.
Absolute scum !
Absolute scum !! Evil greedy people targeting people . I didn’t think they could take people to court but they do and cause so many problems for people just trying to survive they should be arrested because they are wrong wrong wrong 😑
-0 stars!
I was moving out of my flat and loading up a rented van with Link gave me a ticket.
The Immoral parking attendant even took a picture of the van, from all angles, except one. WHERE THE VAN DOOR WAS OPEN AND HAD HOUSEHOLD ITEMS IN IT.
One week before Christmas, I get given a £100 fine when I should be allowed reasonable access to access my flat to move out.
I have contacted the Management company who pay these absolute clowns.
These people need shutting down
These people need shutting down.
They are BULLIES they also like to harass you
making vulnerable people worried and it’s just a parking issue and they go out of there way to try and catch you out What’s wrong with them,
The permit was in the car they could see it they know the car.
Awful, They needs to be investigated
I can't stress more, got two ticket in 3 days with valid permit in dashboard even in their evidence had it my permit shown that too for my place I own. They argued it not fully visible in their evidence I can see link parking logo. Guess what given another ticket for same reason in 3 days totalling 200£. I am owner for the land so technically I got ticket for parking in my place, they are as very cunning people no one will pick up the phone in their contact no I wasted a whole day and one day they accused me, I am going going to obtain their phone records soon. Their appeal system is fake you will get automated message in 2 days time as Rejected so don't waste any time there. They are not considerate at all. Trust me I very polite person but boy they don't deserve not even 1% respect. I will reporting against this company very soon to local MP and local media and all social media and management company who hired them using our service fees. Their email/letter after their Appeal will sugarcoat saying to pay the fine is better if you use other independent body appeal you have to pay full if you loose indirectly making a point to pay is better that going after them.
If I could rate 0 stars I would
If I could rate 0 stars I would. Absolutely despicable, money-grabbing scum.
Absolute scum of a company
Absolute scum of a company. Ok it was my mistake, I paid for parking on the app, but I was in such a rush and very stressed, I forgot to change the reg number on the app. I was starting a new job after being out of work for 18 months and I had to be in London so parked at the closest car park to the train station. It wasn't until I returned to the car later that evening that I realised my mistake. I appealed the ticket but it was quickly rejected. So not only have they had the fine but also the parking fee which was paid for but for the wrong car. Gutless scummy tossers.
No better than paedophiles.....utter scum! (If this title gets through censorship I'll be amazed)
This review follows on in a similar theme.
What an utterly despicable excuse for a company!
I parked in a private car park and paid the fee via the parkonomy.com website. I recieved my confirmation via text and email and so carried on with the rest of my day. Anyway, about a month later I had a PCN in the post stating I had parked unauthorised. I re-read the PCN and realised they quoted me as parking in a completely different car park. I appealed the PCN via email explaining how I hadn't parked in the car park stated. Within hours my appeal was rejected stating my evidence didn't display a time. WT Flip?
Anyway, the long and short of it. I'm now ignoring the threatening letters and waiting to see if they'll take it to Court.
Edit ****
After these parasites sold on this alleged debt to a debt collection agency, BwLegal. I started getting letters demanding payment of £160. HOLD YOUR NERVE. DO NOT PAY!! After making an Official complaint to BwLegal, they dropped the case, as their client - Link parking - had no evidence whatsoever!!!
Sorry about the monologue, but the morale of all this is - DO NOT GIVE IN TO THIS SCAM. FIGHT IT!

Today I visited my property which I purchased just recently and now own within the last week or so I have a permit for this property which I put on my dashboard unfortunately I left both my side windows open a little bit on the car and the permit blew onto the floor. When I got to my car I found I had a parking charge of £100. £60 to be paid within 14 days diabolical. This is not fare if he had seen the window opened he may have seen the parking ticket on the floor. I had got done for not displaying it. They take photographic evidence but I bet they never took any evidence with it being on the floor.
They are just out to get what they can easy picking.
Link Parking....
Link Parking..... terrorising frontline nhs staff through a pandemic with resident parking clearly shown on the car window. 35 tickets and counting so far

This company should be investigated by the police. They will never allow appeals to be successful. I live in a small block of flats and they took over our car park. I forgot to put my ticket on my car and went down to put it on and there was a ticket on it. Only 5 minutes and they had it. No success with appeal. They will not negotiate with anyone. Just a money collection agency.
Awful company
Awful company. Hostile customer service representative that left me in tears. Due to a genuine error, we were advised by their wardens that the PCN would be cancelled as we presented a valid parking permit. I later arrived to my vehicle to find no notice and assumed no further action would be taken. However, little did I know that they hired a liar for a warden and had a horrible company which refused to accept all the evidence we presented. You cannot even speak to someone in person?!
I paid the appropriate fee to park my…
I paid the appropriate fee to park my car at 14:15-1715 a fee of £3.50 was duly paid and I received an SMS confirming my payment. Got back to the car at approx 15:30 to find some jobsworth had given me a ticket at 14:25. What a load of tosh now I have to waste time putting in an appeal to get the fine quashed. Why the hell doesn’t your system instantly update you jobsworth hand held computer. Will never use this car park again I have a blue badge so next time I’ll park on the road and display the badge.
Cowboys
I echo everything everyone else has written about this despicable company, who exist solely to profit off other people's misery.
But have you ever tried to phone them? I've never spoken to a more rude, condescending, arrogant man the few times I've had the misfortune to need to speak to them. I'm sure it's the director, Martin Gardner, as Link Parking is pretty much just him. At least with his previous business, Sextoys Are Us Ltd, he shafted people honestly.
Parasite.
0 star should be allowed
Disgusting & scamming company, just here to steal the money from people. I paid for a parking permit in my residence, a guy is coming everyday to check the permit on the dashboard like a policeman. he knew perfectly all the cars around despite one day I forgot to put the permit on the dashboard, I had to pay £60 despite all the evidences I had and they did not want to discuss, it is impossible. The only way is the court (I did not have time for that). I do not understand how this company can still have the right to practise through UK, should be banned forever.
Disgusting , dishonest humans
I understand they have a duty but there is no need to scan people, be rude to people and just act as vile humans.
Collecting pictures of cars so that the reflection off wing mirrors and the sun blocks the view of the permit in order to claim the money off innocent people who are abiding by the rules.
Targeted, scam!
If I could do minus stars I would! Not worthy of 1 star.
Complete scam artist! They have left out information on their signs and then prosecute you for it!
Absolutely disgusted!
I had a clear permit on my dash, I was targeted as I was no longer than 3 minutes picking up a dog that I walk. They saw I was new in the area and targeted me.
