Review Time
Eleven minutes over on a three hour stay, with no option to add extra time whilst I was away from the car park, yet subject to their £60/£100 fine. Initial Parking embody the vile, rampant profiteering endemic in this sector.One star feels too generous. Avoid.
I parked in st Mary’s Church car park in Betsy coed, paid for four hours, they didn’t appear to be any option for extending stay on four hours. I was 26 minutes late after 4 hours payment and they’ve sent me a parking fine for £60.They are an absolute rip-off company, it’s a bit late but I will never ever park in one of their car parks againBe warned and avoid this car park and other car parks operated by initial parking
Groovy, your review will be used in court when I sue Initial Parking and the Trustees of Abersoch Village Hall under joint and several liability after being harassed by them for £170 for entering their car park and then leaving unable to park due to no spaces being available. Perfect review as they admitted that they were in error and as such I cannot thank you enough. See you in court trustees of Abersoch Village Hall, et al. I am in the process of making a claim against you.
I hope this helps someone.POPLA Appeal SubmissionPOPLA Verification Code: **********Vehicle Registration: ******PCN Reference: IPL*********Parking Operator: Initial Parking Dear POPLA,I am writing to formally appeal against the Parking Charge Notice issued against my vehicle on [DATE] at Mousehole Car Park. I respectfully request that POPLA consider the following grounds for appeal:1. Inadequate Evidence of BreachThe parking operator has relied solely on ANPR camera timestamps showing entry and exit times. These do not accurately reflect the time my vehicle was parked. Time spent entering the car park, locating a space, and exiting is not considered parking time under the BPA Code of Practice (see attached Parking Charge Page 2)Grace Period Not AppliedThe BPA Code of Practice (Section 13) requires operators to allow a minimum 10-minute grace period after the paid parking time expires. Additionally, time must be allowed for entering the car park, reading signage, and making payment. The alleged overstay of 34 minutes and 59 seconds likely includes this grace period and non-parking time. 3. Genuine Attempt to ComplyI paid, with cash for more than two hours of parking and displayed the ticket on my dashboard. The operator has not provided any evidence that I failed to comply with the terms beyond ANPR timestamps. I made a genuine effort to follow the rules and did not attempt to avoid payment. 4. Lack of TransparencyThe operator has not provided any evidence of the payment machine, or a photo of the ticket displayed in my vehicle. This lack of documentation undermines their claim that a breach occurred.In light of the above, I respectfully request that this charge be cancelled. I trust POPLA will consider the fairness and proportionality of this case.Kind regards,Signature Note.If you pay by card, you can prove how much time you paid for, I paid by cash and did not keep the ticket.After three weeks I received an E-mail from POPLA stating that Initial Parking had cancelled the charge.
When Parking and you see that the Car Park is managed by InitialParking - do not shop locally. Don't visit Cafes, independent shops etc. Complaining directly to IP is water off a ducks back. But if local businesses suffer (in the short term) then the Council may act against IP.
I was charges twice for dropping off at Newquay airport, as I drove to the drop off point the signage seamed to.point to the corner of the car park. The barrier was raised automatically and I drove in.I.did the same 5 days later to collect my partner. I've been charged £60 twice for 2 minutes on one day and 1 minute the next time. robbing devious company extorting money from people!
Avoid parking with these cowboys at all costs, why are companies like this allowing to operate. Why should there be any charge for short term parking at Newquay airport, it’s not like you’re parking there to go anywhere else. Be careful of payment signage confusing and probably designed to be so!!! What sort of low down company doesn’t provide a telephone number, another clue as to how they operate!!
