My son was served a drive off notice at an ASDA petrol station. He realised he had gone off the forecourt and went immediately and paid and the attendant said he had cancelled the notice. My son has evidence of this with receipt and the cancelled notice. My son even called the police as he was worried and they said that was OK. Despite submitting attachments of the payment evidence by email and then a week later on their portal they send a second increased demand. Do they actually read the contact forms submitted? This is causing a great deal of stress for a guy with mental health issues and a family who just want to do the right thing. No contact phone number is an opt out and very suspicious.

This campany is a scam. Put petrol with fuel card which is acceptable at esso petrol station but for some reason the petrol refused to accept the card at the petrol station the cashier couldn't provide means of payments said the vars will call regarding payment vars never called received the letter 7 days later already with increase fine. The company require reference to make payments this wasnt provided at the petrol until the letter was received charging extra 17 pounds. Scamming customers money to enrich themselves. Avoid them like plaque

This company sent me a demanding letter to pay for fuel that I have proof I have already paid - there is no phone number so I cannot call to clarify this, the on line form doesn't work as when you ask to message they say they will send a validation email that never arrives, I have no idea how to resolve this matter but I am presuming it is a scam if no one can deal with this and due to me paying in the first place.

Just had to reluctantly pay £150 to this scam company. Apparently due to driving off without paying for petrol at East Ayton Shell Garage, Scarborough YO13 9HL. I went in to pay and remember it vividly as the pump I used was leaking, petrol went everywhere and I had to move pumps. Went inside to wash my hands and then paid for my petrol!! They don't provide you with evidence of the non payment and there is no reason stated for the fine within the app the debt collection agency told me to download. All they say is if you don't pay you'll get taken to court. All reviews say the same, a big scam but they are getting away with it and will put a CCJ on your file if you don't pay up?! How is this company getting away with this?!

Further to my Last Review...Today i received closure of drive off Notice...I provided evidence from DVLA plus a True likeness Set of images signed by a Police officer ..These were sent off.. Claimed to have been lost.. Duplicate sent off with name of email Rep.. Recorded delivery.. DVLA had not updated disposal of car on their Records ..That fed Vars Technology False information corrected at a later date...The images sent ..Well an Old Person compared to the Blurred image on First and Final Demand...This has Taken Three Months to Clear my name...I urge all in this situation Please Keep Going and Good Luck ..Always get Receipts in Garages and Make sure you have Done the correct Procedure in Car Parks. .Thank you and Good Luck.

I recieved a drive off notice in the post on the 6th January saying that I supposedly drove off without paying for fuel on 7th December. The notice states that I dispensed 14.37 litres of fuel at a cost of £20.10. I sent an email straight away with a copy of my bank statement that shows the payment for £40. The only thing I did was put fuel in and I paid for it. I've also found out that they overwrite CCTV after 30 days. The letter arrived 30 days after I supposedly drove off... very convenient. It took them nearly 2 weeks to respond and say they're in contact with the forecourt. I've now recieved another letter saying that the fee has increased and threatening to take me to court. I have chased them again as it's a joke. I paid and have proof. I would never just put in £20.10 worth of fuel. I always do a minimum of £40 or just fill it. On about causing stress.

Terrible company I called at a garage on Coventry Road to fill up as I was filling I felt in my pocket and had left my money at home I stopped filling and had put in £6.54 I went into the garage explained to the girl my predicament gave her my address car and telephone number told her I would be back that day I called back about hour and half later the girl had gone off shift the man on duty new nothing about it he would not let me pay it !! I asked for the manager he would be in on the following day to cut a long story short I made 16 phone calls and 6 visits to get the manager when I finally got him he said I had to wait till I had a letter from VARS he would not let me pay him !! I eventually got a bill from them for £41 I called in the garage the next day.he cancelled it and said I had to wait till I got a bill of them again which I did about a week later for £13.04 I was that fed up
I paid it although at no time did I ever try to drive off and left all my details they charged me an extra £6 which I paid straight away I am still getting bills of them !! I’m a 78 years old pensioner and it’s really getting me down !!!

If these cowboys say you did anything go to court, when you get there and it will take a long time as they try to bully you into DON'T go Infront of a judge they will always stop before the court day, there bullying scumbag cowards, just ignore them get your day in court.

This company fails every time to come up with real evidence therefore everyone going to court against them needs to put in their own claim for emotional distress and please everyone let's set about ruining this company.p.s please come after me see what's waiting

This company falsely claimed i have not paid for petrol, when I was not even in the country at the time. It is clearly an online scam. The worst thing you can to is interact with scammers as it just encourages them, whereas if you ignore them they will almost certainly just give up. If they have any proper evidence they will take you to court and that is where you should present any evidence. Not before. Do not be intimidated. An appeals process is something that is initiated only if a court of law finds against you. No private company has the right to require anything of you. Just ignore them and they will go away.

This awful outfit sent me a letter saying I owed them money for a payment agreement to a petrol station that I had never heard of, using a car and number plate that wasn't mine in someone else's name!🙄I contacted the DVLA and the car wasn't linked to me at all, contacted the police too, emailed the scam artists VARS and wonderfully they've not even responded yet.absolutely disgraceful treatment of innocent people, the government needs to shut them down or fine them for scams,harassment, and trying to extort money by intimidating innocent people

Garbage company and staff. Inferior, flawed technology with no accountability from the company

Absolutely disgusting excuse for a company. I received a fine for an alleged non payment of fuel blatantly accusing me of theft and charging me £47 for a non payment of £12. The alleged incident was 27th Oct however penalty notice was published 30th November. Exactly a month later when CCTV would have been wiped. Letter arrived at my address on 9th December (so 9 days from posting!) leaving me very little time within the 14 day period to pay or appeal without fine being doubled. Doubt this was coincidental. I replied immediately sending an evidence of payment on a bank statement and I am yet to receive any acknowledgement or response despite several messages. Luckily the garage was close to home so I visited in person and the manager there was able to resolve the issue. However, had I not had the bank statement or been able to return to garage I have no doubt the fine would have kept doubling.
This company should be reported for fraudulent behaviour. My advice is to keep all receipts and photo evidence from fuel purchased anywhere where they are in operation.

Another one of those companies you fell liek scraping off thebottom of your shoe. Looks like the cashier made an error in not adding my fuel to the other things I bought in the shop when I wnt in to pay (making the alledged crime of driving off technically incorrect) but there appears to be no recourse possible by the looks of things - just pay up or get taken to court. There companies really are the s h i t of the earth.

Scam scam scam send me a letter that t I drove of without paying I request to the video the can’t provide me one and the picture of my car in the letter doesn’t have any time or date on it i even went back to the petrol station to complain same the can’t check the video

Vars technology is a scam company, I recived a letter stating i did not pay for fuel and drove off, something I never done, they just sent me a picture of my car which does not mean i inserted fuel and did not pay, I have requested by email for them to provide me with evididence ie: cctv footage and if I have mistakenly did not pay I will pay, they did not saying they do not have cctv footage while claiming to be the worlds most advanced forecourt protection and parking solution, they are going as far as taking the matter to court over £20.

Do not fall for their SCAM if you recieve a letter, unless you are sure you did't pay.

Scam!!! Scam!!!Scam!!
I'm the same. Received a letter advising I drove off without paying.
Never in my life would I do this. I recall walking into the fuel station and paid in cash. I also advised them to check their CCTV outside and inside and they will clearly see me walking into the station and paying the cashier.
I've also gone on their website to appeal and suprise suprise they are supposed to email you a verification code to continue with the appeal and it never arrived.
How can companies get away with trying to Scam money out of innocent people.
Having just read previous reviews stating CCTV is deleted after 30 days what a coincidence they contact you after 30 days of the alleged offence.

Same here just been refused fuel at my local garage on Hayling island apple green / EG complete joke more modern technology cocking up lives, they should be locked up, the garage gave me an email that dose not work

Recieved a drive off notice for fuel, for apparent unpaid fuel.
I contacted vars the day I recieved the letter... to appeal. Only email, as they do not have contact number.
I recieved an email back 12 days later. By this time they had sent another fine doubling the amount.
Certainly not helpful company, as not prepared to look into it. My advice send them a formal letter and formal email of complaint and ring citizens advice.

Was refused fuel. Apparently I left without paying for fuel at Asda Express livingston. Utter nonsense. Went back in and staff had no idea how or why this ANPR works. I'm currently being blocked by a company called "Sharma".
Till Staff could not explain and neither could the manager.
