    UPDATE: A few weeks ago I had to pay for parking in my own bay in my own residency. Now I'm being forced to fit through gaps with two cars parking anywhere they like. Pathetic service. See picture attached. How on earth is a big car/van meant to got through that gap. Same as everyone else, got a ticket for parking in my own bay. How can they send a ticket by post to the residential area where the car belongs! Just doesn't make sense to me. Gave them a good reply and clearly they couldn't take it and rejected my appeal. Disgusting. They should consider getting their facts correct on their website.

    Just won the case against these scammers in Court. They issued me with a fine in 2019 which became £299 in 2023, for parking on my friend's private bay with their permission to load couple of suitcases. And the judge clearly saw the scam. Do not pay them and challenge them in the court.

    How this company operate is completely disgraceful. I hold a valid permit and have a resident space where they opportunistically like common criminals noticed my permit had slipped out of view. Despite appealing for a scrap of human decency where I provided clear evidence I had the right to park in my own parking space, they showed they have absolutely none. Hope everyone who works and partners with this company sleeps well at night knowing they have the ability to be decent and fair and chose to be cruel and disgusting.

    I parked my car at my clients private park space . I'm a carer. The lady I look after has mental disabilities, so I have to park there not for fun but I'm only doing my job . I had the disability badge on the window even so they fined me. I appealed but they have no understanding whatsoever. All they want is money from hard working people. Disgusting. Enjoy my money. Have a nice dinner and drinks on my expense. Don't forget that one day you will need a carer and you will remember what you did to me.

    This extremely dim witted company with a vile sinister agenda to stalk residents & fine them is something the area has had to deal with and complain about for 4-5yrs now to the point the Housing Association are looking into cancelling their contract. These people are NEVER around when illegals are parked but guaranteed let a resident forget to display for 24hrs or even 4hrs whilst detailing their car & wait... Here comes the vultures swooping in, oh & keep in mind they'll never accept an appeal even when openly admitting when checking the electronic system you do own a valid permit.

    The WORST parking company I have ever come across. Don’t even deserve this 1 star but no option for 0. Money grabbing bullies on a power trip. You say you care about protecting your residents, you couldn’t care LESS about your residents if you tried, all you care siphoning as much money from them as you can and not to mention the EXTORTIONATE fine prices, are you really that desperate for money? Fining me for parking in my own private bay that I pay for because the permit blew off the dashboard? I actually cannot comprehend it. Shame on you, have you no human empathy? I guess not to be voluntarily working for an embarrassment of a company like this. The company is a joke, look at your reviews. You’re not helping anyone, your making people’s lives hell, glad your pockets are full though…Do better.

    Absolutely revolting bloodsucking little parasites. My partner works for a care agency, and was sent to a home with a car park, zero indication anywhere that this was a controlled parking zone so was slapped with a fine. After appealing and providing them the carers code that allows for parking and written confirmation that she was allowed to park there, they still refused the appeal. Disgustinglittle pencil necked failed lawyers the lot of you, should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Imagine being put on this Earth to then just work for companies like this? What a waste of space, absolute scammers. Sent me multiple letters regarding a penalty fine and I don't even own, and never have owned the car that received the fine. I am the owner of the permitted space and look how they are treating me. Now they have given my details to a debt recovery agency, which again is ILLEGAL. They are vile. How this company is allowed to exist I'll never know. If you work for this company- please rethink your life choices.

    This is a scam company with zero remorse/humanity/ethics. Issuing out tickets for being in your rightfully paid for parking space all in trying to gain commissions from the penalties.being issued a ticket at 5am for parking in my own bay that I pay for doesn’t make sense. I will not be paying for the ticket I repeat I won’t pay for the ticket will wait for this matter to reach the court otherwise! What sense does it make to penalise a car that’s registered to the very address that you are penalising it for. The company has the worst reviews and is still allowed to take on contracts from housing associations !

    An absolute disgrace of a company. Fined us for parking in our own parking bay. Can never get hold of them as they have no staff, and takes ages on the phone so have to give up. I sent a document but they never got it (if I believe them). They have no email correspondence and want you to send post but give you 14 days. In 2022 and they have no online correspondence for appeals. It is a disgrace. I would give 0 stars but they do not allow that. I will be reporting them. They are an absolute disgrace of a company with zero customer service. I would also add they are aggressive in their approach and letters.

    Got a ticket for parking outside my own house, even though I CLEARLY had my permit on display. Things have now escalated to having a CCJ against me and a £514 fine. I can’t begin to describe the effect this has all had on my mental health, how people like this sleep at night, I will never know. Straight up BULLIES! I wish nothing but the worst for this company and hope with every fibre of my being that they go bankrupt.

    LISTEN! This is a SCAM!!! YOU HAVE THE LAW ON YOUR SIDE! Don't argue with these guys; pay your fine on your credit card and then call the credit card company and mark the transaction as fraudulent (Yes, you might need to get a new credit card since this one will be marked compromised). You did not agree to pay any fee for parking on the property, nor did you agree to any written or verbal agreement; therefore, they have no legal authority to hold you financially accountable for parking on the property. They can boot your car and demand payment to release the vehicle since you're on private property. However, since no written contract obligates you to pay for parking, the best they can legally do is trespass you from the parking area (which they won't take the time to do). Anything else is a form of entrapment. Google it; you will be happy you did. You're welcome :)

    If I had a choice would give them zero stars. Ticket officer clearly saw my valid permit which unfortunately fell in the floor and said don't worry no ticket was issued. May this company become bankrupt. You appeal, they send you the same draft letter. Frauds just want to take the money from working families. Once again may this company become bankrupt

    I have someone parked in my PAID parking spot everyday and PCM have never come and give tickets and do not do anything when you call to tell them Also they have given me a ticket for parking in my own spot and bullied me and sent this to debt recovery This is a cowboy company and I don't know how they are still operating.

    I can't believe that UK government allows such companies to extort money from people in broad daylight. Just like many other people here I have been unlawfully fined 60 pounds for using my designated parking space while my permit was coming in the post (as a tenant I had to ask my landlord to get the permit for me, and that obviously takes time, so landlord is not at fault here). I tried to appeal, but they obviously rejected the appeal without even trying to explain why. I obviously paid those 60 pounds just to free myself from PCM, but it felt so wrong that I'm still fuming over it. Where did that money even go? Who benefits from my car being properly parked in its designated parking bay? All property management companies that decide to use their anti-resident services should be ashamed for helping this scheme operate.

    How did they possibly got that 1.2 Star? One of the most despicable company who gave a departing gift when I moved house after 10 years. I was loading bags within my own apartment near the doors and they sent a PCN to the OLD ADDRESS and 2 months later Debt Collection of £170 came to NEW ADDRESS. Tell me one other company does these to the hardworking public money on times like these?

  • 1/5 Terry N. 11 months ago on Google
    I have momentarily stopped in front of a marked bay, waiting for the car in the bay to move away, then parked correctly in the marked bay. A warden, hidden somewhere, decided to take some photos of my car from a distance away. All happened within two minutes. Now I received a notification of parking charge £100. This is an organisation looting every penny from hard-working people. Every single human being should be shameful to work with this organisation.

  • 1/5 Star M. 9 months ago on Google
    I am extremely frustrated with the behavior of certain individuals and the company involved. It seems that I am constantly receiving parking tickets outside my own home, even though I pay for parking in a private parking bay, and it is private property. This situation becomes even more challenging because I have a small child whom I struggle to get in and out of the car. I have been informed that I am not allowed to move my car, as the parking space is supposedly clearly marked. However, I strongly disagree with this assessment. When other cars are illegally parking in private spot of the car park area there nowhere to be seen or found. The parking space I utilize is essentially designed for a single person, which is absurd considering the fact that I have a small child and there is a massive bush obstructing access. This makes it nearly impossible for me to safely get my child out of the car. Unfortunately, the parking authorities do not seem to care about these concerns and are solely focused on extracting money from me. To make matters worse, I have been issued multiple parking tickets without even receiving the first one, which would have given me the opportunity to address the alleged problem. When I approached the company responsible, PCM, their response was to suggest parking elsewhere. However, I have already explained that there is no other safe location for me to park and ensure the well-being of my son. The lack of space and the potential damage to my car make it extremely inconvenient and risky for me to open my car door and retrieve my child. In my opinion, the markings of this parking bay are not clear at all. I have been living in this area for eight years and have consistently parked in the same spot during that time without any issues. Now, suddenly, I am being targeted with parking tickets, whereas other parking companies never bothered to ticket me for parking in the same area. This company's behavior is truly disgraceful, and I am appalled by their actions.

    Charged me £100 for parking 18 minutes beyond the parking hours whilst I had a disabled badge on show. No regards for those with mobility issues, there needs to be a social media movement cancelling these types of companies to deter clients from choosing to use their despicable services. The signs were not limited, not lit up and dirty. They don't even judge appeals in an objective way. I now refuse to go those places where the Car Parks are run by PCM! Those clients are now losing money due to PCM!

    No star deserve this company. The government must question them and take them to court and close down it. The operators are like criminal coming around at 22:00 and placing penalty on the cars with correct parking permit. Where is the government here? Absolutely, no space for such companies in this society.

  • 1/5 Yemi E. 1 year ago on Google
    I actually don't want to give a single star because they deserve ZERO and they won't care. I always put a parking slip on my car overnight on Barnbury Estate Islington whenever I visit. I had one on from Saturday night but they are only valid for 6 hours. By 7:29am on the Sunday morning I had already received a ticket! I could actually have parked on the main road around the estate at that time any day of the week without charge let alone SUNDAY morning just after 7am. I paid as i can't be bothered to communicate or waste my precious time with these rotten eggs.

    Continue sending me letters about fines they will keep going in the bin, stop issuing paper permits and go paperless, save paper with virtual permits, if it falls off the windscreen you get fined! I will not pay no matter how many letters you send! Change to virtual permits , it’s much easier

  • 1/5 Seirian Karl L. 10 months ago on Google
    Anyone who works for this organisation should be ashamed. Literally thieves. My partner stopped at a texaco fuel station local to us when she wasn't feeling well just for a 10 min rest and to eat something as she was light headed. These upstanding people decided that as she didn't buy anything that she deserves a £100 fine! Absolutely disgusting. Tried to appeal on grounds of safety but were not interested. Disgusting that companies like this are allowed to operate.

    Pulled my car to pick up family with 2 small kids suddenly traffic warden has taken pictures of my number plate and issued with fine.Appeal got rejected no regards for families with kids and allow us just 1 minutes while they comfortably sit in the car as the parking bay was full. I firmly believe that any sensible human can understand that they can't ask anyone to walk 10 minutes away from their original pick up point who has got 2 small kids and luggage from their original pickup point. In the times of cost of living crisis where families are struggling to meet 2 ends they are issuing fines for 1 minutes pulling of car . Heartfelt grief as my whole day earning converted into penalty notice.

  • 1/5 Anne R. 11 months ago on Google
    Despite paying for our parking space for over tow years now and having never missed a payment, we were recently fined twice within 48 hours by this company and they refuse to listen to our appeals. We were given one week to change our parking permit sticker which was posted to us (we were not told this permit was being posted) and, admittedly may be our fault, we never received this permit. we rang immediately to question and they said it was completely our fault and we had to pay. In short - the rudest company and most un empathetic company. Solely there for money.

    vile company. as a ticket inspector you’re supposed to observe the vehicle before giving a ticket however these guys came in a car and jumped out just to take the picture then leave. when we questioned them they didn’t take it well to the point where they started using physical abuse. when we asked the company to check their cameras where you could see their employees hitting people they completely ignored it.

    On god, the person Chloe that was dealing with me over the phone is absolutely rude. Next time I receive a ticket I promise i am not paying for it. No help at all over the phone. Disrespectful and full of attitude.

  • 5/5 Richard P. 8 months ago on Google
    PCM (UK) are completely incapable of running a successful court claim! That’s great news and worth the full 5 stars for you unsuspecting motorists being dished out dodgy tickets by this hole in the ground organisation. If they had a brain cell between one of the team I may have worryingly had to have given them a lesser result. Thumbs up from me!

  • 1/5 mark d. 8 months ago on Google
    Completely failing to combat the parking issues at newlife apartments northampton and admit that if people chose to ignore the tickets or signage they dont do anything. Frustrating for the residents that pay to use the car park.seems like the ticket operators rarely respond to reported cars.

  • 1/5 Alan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Scammers. I live in block of flats with secure gated car park. Now the gate doesn't work they are suddenly appearing. We have permits, my friend parked in my spare allocated bay, I took the permit down but a ticket was already issued. One resident got a ticket because her permit had fallen off windscreen. In the summer they were coming round after dark. If you appeal they just send standard reply no matter what you write in the email. They didn'tbother replying to my 3rd email. Government sponsored scammers

  • 1/5 Salwah K. 1 year ago on Google
    A money making scheme used to scam people out of their hard earned cash especially when incidents revolve around people who park in their own space (a space reserved by them for their own residence) and receive a parking fine. Little to no understanding is given despite being able to prove that you do indeed own the space along with the property it is assigned to. Many instances of attendants simply taking photos in ways which make it appear to be an “incorrect permit or placement”. As I said before, money making scheme scamming hundreds of people out of their cash.

    Ticketing it's own customers tenants, using paper permits in 2023, should be illegal to be ticketed at the property in which you pay rent for, surely they could have a database with tenants number plates so we aren't allowed to be fined disgraceful, no problem with the parking in the area anyway, but now there has been one created, tenants don't park in the car park anymore or visitors, it's a huge car park and now they block the road instead, causing problems rather than resolving anything. 0 star joke. Been fined 1000s outside my own home. Judge agreed with them disgrace aswel, still didn't pay lock me up and throw away the key will you get a penny out of me. Scum.
