I received a parking fine from Manchester Parking Services for being slightly outside a bay – a trivial issue that caused no obstruction and was only necessary because another car had encroached into my space. Despite explaining this and providing evidence, they flat-out refused to use common sense or discretion.I had paid in full for 24 hours, followed all other rules, and yet they still enforced this ridiculous penalty, proving this isn't about fairness – it's just a cash-grabbing operation. They hide behind rigid policies rather than applying logic or fairness.Genuine enforcement is one thing – this is just exploiting drivers to generate revenue. If you’re parking in Manchester, be warned: even the slightest, unavoidable misalignment will land you with a fine, and they'll ignore any reasonable appeal.Appalling customer service, zero fairness, and an outright abuse of the system. Avoid at all costs.
