Euro Parking Services レビュー 209

I never thought I would write a positive review about a private parking enforcement company. But Chris Tamplin at Euro Parking Services has completely changed my perspective.

Let me explain the situation.

I live on a cobbled, unadopted private road in Halifax. My neighbours and I own the road collectively. For years, non-residents have been parking on our private road and walking 5–10 minutes to their own homes. We have had enough. We wanted to protect our street, our children's safety, and our property rights.

I contacted several parking enforcement companies. The responses were cold, dismissive, and honest in the worst way. One company told me outright that my street was "not commercially viable" – meaning there wasn't enough profit in it for them. They could enforce the law. They chose not to. Because money mattered more than doing the right thing.

Then I contacted Euro Parking Services.

Chris Tamplin, the Business Development Manager, called me personally. He listened. He did not rush me. He did not talk down to me. He asked questions about the street, the neighbours, the children, the nuisance vehicles, the anti-social behaviour. He cared about people, not just profit margins.

He was in a meeting when my enquiry came in. He still responded within hours to say he would get back to me. And he did. He sent a clear, detailed breakdown of costs – no hidden fees, no jargon, no pressure. He explained exactly how the system would work, what the one-off costs were (site audit and signage), and that there is no annual fee, which is more than fair.

But here is what really set Chris apart.

He did not just see us as another contract. He saw a community of families who want to feel safe on their own street. He acknowledged that if some neighbours do not want to participate, it could affect coverage – but he was willing to work with us to find a solution. He sent a draft agreement for us to review. He offered training for residents so everyone understands the system.

No other company did any of this.

Chris Tamplin is the reason I will be recommending Euro Parking Services to every resident on my street and every person I know who needs help protecting their private land.

In a world where most companies see only pound signs, Chris sees people. He is a credit to his company and to the industry.

If you need parking enforcement on private land – especially a complex situation like a terraced street with shared ownership – do not waste your time with the greedy companies. Go to Euro Parking Services. Ask for Chris Tamplin. He will help you.

Thank you, Chris. You have earned our trust and our business.

Very disappointing. I parked for just 16 minutes to make a purchase and forgot to enter my registration number. Despite submitting my receipt as proof that I was a genuine customer, I was still charged £60. This is completely disproportionate for an honest mistake and feels like daylight robbery. Genuine customers deserve better treatment than this. One small oversight should not result in such an excessive penalty.

Took My Son swimming at Bracknell My Son has autism we prepaid the parking also put my badges even though I did not need them when leaving the swimming pool My Son had a little bit of an episode where he needed to sit down and reregulate for 10 minutes. We left the car park as quick as we could not realising we’d overstay by 12 minutes and are now taking me to call for not paying the fine after even giving them all the evidence and explaining the situation about My Son having autism this is a shameful act and I will be giving bad reviews everywhere I go about Euro car parks being non-compassionate towards people with disabled children. I suggest you should contact me before this goes any further.

Avoid Euro Parking Services Ltd. They are running a predatory enforcement operation at Capability Green, Luton. They issued Parking Charge Notice (PCN 3197118) to a motorist whose vehicle was stopped for exactly 1 minute and 49 seconds (7:49:41 to 7:51:30). This is a blatant violation of the spirit of industry grace periods, which are designed to let drivers safely read terms or turn around. Furthermore, their ticketing is incredibly lazy. The "Reason for Issue" is a generic, automated catch-all phrase ("Double yellow lines/Crosshatched bay/Restricted area") rather than stating a single, definitive breach. Any commercial landlord or business park asset manager (like MCR Property Group) looking at hiring this firm should be aware: their aggressive, under-2-minute ticketing practices actively alienate visitors, contractors, and clients, severely damaging the commercial reputation of the sites they control.

Every appeal is refused
Can't talk to a person in their little office
They hide behind a chat that doesn't work
Lowest of the low company

Ever wondered why your parking fines were so heavy ? One reason could be because this firm pays loads of money to Sign Writers who they then don’t check and go ahead putting up signs but don’t actually look at whats on them
Spotted by us the usual blah blah but a spelling mistake The word WHILE is shown as WHIST not even a likeness ?
Someone didn’t do his job right or would that be write?
Next time you get a fine read carefully the wording just in case

My experience with Euro Parking has been extremely concerning. Issuing a parking charge within just 2–3 minutes is not reasonable by any fair standard and strongly suggests a system designed to penalise rather than manage parking responsibly.
There was no meaningful grace period provided, which raises serious questions about compliance with recognised industry codes of practice. Any fair operator would allow sufficient time for a driver to read signage and make an informed decision. This approach feels unjust, excessive, and highly questionable.
What is even more alarming is that after looking into this further, I am now aware that I am not alone. I am actively gathering evidence from other individuals who have experienced similar treatment, including cases where parking notices were issued within an unreasonably short timeframe.
Based on the volume of these experiences, there appears to be a pattern that warrants closer scrutiny. I am currently compiling this evidence and reviewing all aspects of signage, timing, and process. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter through formal legal routes and appropriate regulatory authorities if necessary.
This situation reflects very poorly on Euro Parking’s practices. Unless significant changes are made to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance, these types of complaints will continue to build and attract further attention.

I am a Danish tourist who drove through Hungary for the first time on 01/04/2026. I received TWO fines (Cases: 36022-101290706 & 36022-101290707) for not having an e-vignette on the M1 motorway.
There were NO signs, NO toll booths, and NO payment facilities at the border entry point at Hegyeshalom. As a foreign tourist, I had absolutely no way of knowing that I needed to buy an e-vignette in advance online.
I submitted a formal appeal which was REJECTED within days, with no real consideration of my circumstances as a tourist unfamiliar with Hungary's invisible toll system.
EPC is charging me over DKK 2,000 for a €15 vignette I didn't know I needed. This system is completely unfair to foreign tourists. I am now contacting the European Consumer Centre Denmark and Hungary for assistance.

I parked at Taylors of Acomb in York planning on buying something but it was closed.
So I was 2 minutes yet I got a 60 pounds fine through the post.
Obviously I will no longer shop there!
I used to spend through the course of a week 50 pounds.
I'll just take my custom else where.

Absolute scam artists. Dont bother appealing as they dont actually review it. I will avoid using any business that employs Euro Parking Services

The parking was an innocent error on my part, and did not appeal, instead paid the fine today. However… it took numerous attempts to get through on an incredibly slow and inefficient phone system to pay, and when I got to the end of the call (over 12 minutes later) and having inputted my card details the call was ended. I therefore paid online which also took numerous attempts and a lengthy time. Since this I have learned that I’ve been charged over £15 for the attempt to pay over the phone!!
I paid the fine for my error but to have the extras apply on the back of very poor phone systems is disgraceful. Nothing in the written notice of the fine states that extortionate fees will apply if you choose to call. Absolutely shameful.

This company have no grey area my husband parked for 1 minute 55 seconds, dropped something off for someone and got back in the car and drove off, the shop was shut, the parking sign was defaced, appeal and yet, because he walked to the corner of the building, they class it as off site, to which the car park space was, absolute disgrace!!

I received a parking fine for being parked for 2 minutes, yes 2 MINUTES!! barely enough time to read the tiny terms and conditions, I was parked at 1930, after the shop had closed and no customers were present. I appealed and had a response 9 minutes later, how can my case be fully considered in less than 9 minutes!!!

I think Euro Parking overall score here says it all, but if I can offer some advice make sure you keep documentation, screen shots of the appeal page for example. I made the mistake of appealing and then waiting for aresponse, it never came - just a reminder sayin now i owe £100.

I am absolutely disgusted with this company in order to get to my house. I have to drive through the back of some shops where I now know that parking enforcement takes place. I have a problem with my key fob so sometime the gate does not open so I left my car and went to my house, twice, only for a couple of weeks later to get two tickets okay? No problem. I decided to pay for the tickets went on The site try to pay the ticket With three different cards all declined phoned them explained this to them. I was told I’ve sent it via check or post order. I do not have a check book So I thought I would send it by postal order only to find out that it will cost me £27. 3days later I found out that the call I made to this Company cost me £9 I decided to go to the headquarters only to find out it’s a PO Box absolutely disgusted the way you treat normal people and disabled people is despicable.

Contacted Euro Parking today on live chat, found the whole experience very disappointing! Wanting to genuinely discuss a ticket I had been given, was advised to dispute and given the appropriate address, (which was the only helpful part of the chat). When trying to explain the letter received - was my first, having received no other correspondence up until the letter I was disputing today, was basically TOLD, I HAD received another letter, when I categorically hadn’t, the support handler then began a back & forth conversation implying I was lying! If this was the case I would have just paid the fine, to top it off, they’re stating I was parked somewhere I wasn’t! I’m not implying a first letter hadn’t been sent, it may very well have been, only I never received it! These services lack people care & empathy!

It was 8pm parked for less thank 2 mins shop closed how can you send a fine on rookery Road Birmingham

PCN: 3159298

I have been trying to contact you since Friday and again today (Monday), from 9am to 12pm, but your phone line is not working and your live chat does not send messages. I have screenshots as proof.
You asked me to send my PCN details and documents. I have tried to send everything, but nothing goes through and there is no way to reach you.
It is unacceptable that you do not provide a working email address and the only option seems to be sending a letter by post.
I am not feeling well and I cannot keep spending hours trying to contact you without any response.
Please email me directly.
Due to the lack of any working contact method, I will now be escalating this matter and submitting a formal complaint to the British Parking Association.

Please treat this as a formal complaint and respond as soon as possible.

Received a £100 parking charge from Euro Parking Services Ltd for an alleged “stay” of just 40 seconds.

Their own ANPR timestamps show entry at 19:38:36 and exit at 19:39:16. That is not parking. It is barely enough time to enter a site, assess the situation, and leave safely.

No reasonable driver could read, understand, and agree to any contractual terms in that timeframe. Despite this, the appeal was rejected with what appears to be a generic response that failed to address the actual facts.

This raises serious concerns about how charges are being issued and whether basic standards around consideration/grace periods are being followed at all.

The process feels automated, inflexible, and entirely disconnected from common sense. Based on this experience, I would strongly question the fairness and proportionality of this operator’s practices. When I tried to complain I kept getting a stock copy and paste reply saying go to IAS but if you appeal you will lose the discounted rate of £60.

This experience does not reflect fair or proportionate enforcement. I will be challenging this charge and would strongly encourage others to scrutinise any similar notices very carefully as they will break standard rules and their own so called policies and procedures to enforce payment. Additionally the letter was very late as well almost 10 days from the date on the letter.
