HX Car Park Management Omdömen 

Similar to a recent review I have read I visited Spanish City Restaurant with my elderly mum and family 15th July and unbeknown to us a vehicle obscured the payment machine for HX Management. We paid at the council machine (in obvious error) with proof and HX Management refused to consider our appeal! This experience has soured our visits (recent and consideration to future visits) and Spanish City would benefit from addressing this in some way

HX cark park management's business strategy makes illegal loan sharks interest payments seem very reasonable. If you are a minute late in returning to your car for the paid for period you will be fined £100. That equates to an annual interest rate of 525600 % for their 1 minute loss of income which is 2p for an hourly charge of £1.20 The notice charge I received showed photographs and the times I entered and left the car park but NOT the time I paid for the ticket. You have a 10 minute grace period after entering the car park before paying which you may need to find a space, read the legal conditions of the contract you allegedly have entered, find money for the antiquated coin machines which do not necessarily have contactless or card payment facilities, check that your registration number is accurately recorded ( apparently people have been fined £100 for a machine malfunction ). I would assume that a court would accept the time indicated on the parking ticket ( which you must retain } as the contracted time for parking which is considerably less than the ANPR recording. The best advice is to avoid any dealings with this company which shamelessly runs this extortion racket and instead lobby those who allow this practice on their land to get rid of the perpetrators.

Just got a ticket for not paying witin 15 min of arrival. I was late 8 min as my payment didnt went through straight away as the ringgo app was messing about. Apealed first time and was declined , apealed to i IAS now. Will probably be declined again but I wont pay. No way. This is a robbery when you pay for service but apparently you dont, becouse you miss your time limit by 8min. It's a joke .

Do not use there car parks or take photos as proof. My experience of this company. I arrived I’m mexborough montague car park. On arrival in the photo I’m not even parked I’m just driving in, the letter says 09.27. I found a space easy, I wonder why, park up so it’s 9.34am I know this as I checked my car clock and my partner rang me on my mobile and I have an appointment at 10am at Specsavers lol. Went to the parking machine to get the ticket , entered my reg , noticed as usual these places don’t give change so scratted around to get exact money for two hour parking, then money would not go in so had to start again so eventually 1.60 paid ticket issued and expiry time is 11.46. Had my appointment paid for the glasses at 10.40am , quick trip in to home bargains and 5 min walk back to the car left at just before 10.50am Ticket received today 60.00 fine for arriving at 9.27.07 leaving at 10.44.28 . My ticket was on display at all times so completely baffled by this ticket. Of course today on receiving the letter you go online to appeal and it says unable to do this at this time. I have never had a fine, I always pay for parking, more than I probably need to but better safe than sorry however this company clearly have no moral scruples, luckily I have all the proof needed so I have the gps on my phone that shows me in the car park at my phone call time of 9.34am, the car park ticket I purchased which shows the price paid and the expiry time, oh and it’s funny they never show you a photo of you at there pay station and how long it took to get the ticket actually issued, the Specsavers email appointment time and the receipt of payment for purchased glasses and eye test at 10.40am, having gone then to another shop and walk back to my car it was later than on there ticket so clearly whatever timings they are working to are inaccurate however the clear fact is I paid for two hour parking and they are fining me for being parked 1 hour 47 minutes. All proof sent on to my relative who’s firm is a solicitors so one of his lawyers will take this further for me at no charge luckily therefore I can take it all the way and counter claim damages and any court costs. And I can assure them I will. I have also reported this firm to watchdog and I would strongly urge everyone else that has a genuine greivance to do so as once they have enough registered complaints they can then take action themselves. I believe there is also an ombudsman that covers this type of issue to which I will also make a complaint.These types of companies need to be held accountable and make sure there equipment is working correctly and that there photos are accurate to when the vehicle is actually parked up and not when it crosses the line of the property which is quite clearly the case here , unfortunately this company is probably not the only one like it as it’s easy money for them, the sickening thing is reading other reviews with disabled also being fined or elderly people who need that bit more time getting out of there vehicles then walking to the machines, reading the complicated instructions finding the correct money all within 10 mins crossing the photo shot line finding a space to suit can take 3-5 minutes of there allotted 10 minute slot. The large signs around the car park are clear, the pay here signs are clear but everything else is in small print on the machines . Keep giving bad reviews, keep giving this company no where to hide , sharks are still sharks no matter how many threatening letters they issue .

Scammers. I had a PCN by post with a bogus photo of my car in a town I’ve never been to! At the time of the ‘offence’, my car was parked in my driveway. I also used it to drive to the swimming pool during the alleged period of ‘illegal’ parking. I researched parking provision at the location I was supposed to be in and there is NO paid parking there at all! I think I’m fairly savvy about scams and always research things but I can imagine that some people must be scared into paying up. Disgraceful that companies like this are allowed to operate.

I had a ticket , all above board and while i was buying it the machine froze up allowing me to put in the first 2 digits of my reg - i kept the ticket and sent it to them when they fined me £60 two days later - lost the appeal and got my £60 cheque returned - now i owe the sharks £100 and i bought a damn ticket and they know that ! total bullies and con artists - something needs doing about people like like HX - times are hard enough and you can't reason them - if i could them less that one star i would - shameful and explotive bunch of rip off merchants

My mother is disabled but she tries to walk as much as possible, had I known there was a 3 hour parking limit I would have made her go on her mobility scooter. By the time she had been round all the shops in the centre in Leeds it was 31mins over. I saw no signs so appealed to their better nature, sent copies of our receipts to show the times we were in the shops but no they have refused the appeal. I only hope if they have sick or elderly relatives they are treated better.

Was at a local Retail park. Went to B&Q to buy some skirting. Went home just to double check sizes as wasn't sure. Returned to B&Q bought the skirting. Went home. Few weeks later got a demanding letter with photos of my car that no return in 30mins. £60 fine. I didn't pay. Few weeks later another letter £100. Making all sorts of threats of court & credit score ratings. I paid the £100. I SHOULDN'T HAVE. You can park for 3 hours but no return in 30 minutes?. I was in the shop 10 minutes at most Went home & Returned 24 minutes later. Bought my items say 15 minutes. So in total about 49 minutes used in total time. 25 minutes of parking in the car park & the limit is 3 hours. So the no return within 30mins should be applied when the 3 hours is used in one go of parking over 2hrs 45 mins. These cameras can read your number plate & tell you when you arrive & leave. So if you only park for 25 minutes & return within 30 mins. You certainly ain't parked for 3 hours. A total disgrace & con. Stealing peoples money regardless of what they do. Designed to legally demand money on a Civil matter. Not buy law of the Courts. Theft. Totally disgusting. Will never pay these Fraudster a penny again or ant other similar companies.

PLEASE DO NOT LET THEM SCARE YOU INTO PAYING IF YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON.

Fined for being 6 mins over the allowed time to buy a ticket because I had a very poorly family member with me.
Went through the appeals process (which is pointless because it’s all done in house) basically told me even if I were 6 seconds over i would of been fined!
They sent me all the threatening letters of if you don’t pay NOW this and that will happen. Their solicitor sent me letters which were full of mistakes so I took them all the way to court.
Court day came, they didn’t show up and the judge laughed their evidence out of court and the fine was wiped off.

Trying to take me to court for not paying a 50p fee, which was a genuine mistake as I didn't include a word before my reg.. Now claiming £160!!

Extremely poor company. Badly dressed unkempt staff at Bradley Stoke. Cowardly approach to customers. No practical considerations with respect to shopping trolleys in parking spaces.

Hx Parking management the biggest set of parasites that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with in my life they are a set of fraudsters conning people out of money.

I went to get my young son a McDonald's after coming out of hospital at around 12.44 is when the camera picked up my reg at no point was I parked there for an hour.

They picked my reg plate up again when picking up a meal at 23.04 at no point was I parked for an hour.

The only time I stopped in their car park at Alma Park leisure centre Chesterfield Derbyshire was when I thought I had done some damage under my car which will be on CCTV.

These thieving parasites have then attempted to make out that I have parked over an hour which is completely untrue.

Do not pay these con artist fraudsters a penny I will happily have my day in court and give these parasites a two fingered salute as I leave too they are lowest of the low they are vermin.

Simply the worst cowboy, bullying firm. Avoid St James Retail Park, Knaresborough. Boycott the shops so that they change the system of charging for parking at this Mall, for genuine shoppers. Three hours for up to six large shops plus coffee/snack time is not adequate.
Signage for car park time limit is so small and easily missed.

Cartmel Racecourse Park with Ease car park - travelled to Cartmel for an appointment at a wedding venue. Had 5 month old grand-daughter in the car who desperately needed nappy changing. Pulled into Cartmel Racecourse parking area to use the public toilet facilities ..... no baby change available so my daughter changed the baby in the car and we then continued to the wedding venue. Weather was horrendous on the day and with a screaming baby and an appointment to get to, did not even consider that you would have to pay an hour's car parking to use public toilet facilities. Must have been in the car park around five minutes - didn't even get out of the car. Received a parking fine ..... followed the appeal process to explain the circumstances and issued with negative response that the fine should be paid. Having read up on the history of this company, can see it is almost pointless trying to take this further. Absolutely outrageous and I am adding to the reams of negative comments about this parking company. Avoid parking if you can help it.

Absolute Theives

Pulled over into a shell garage in halifax , didn't leave my car , had to sort my CHILDS card seat out , the attendant didn't leave his own car to take a picture , i can be seen still in the car , yet i get a £100 fine.. every review is similar yet this company still robs people? So avoid this company at all costs! Unless you want to get robbed

We have helped 100's fight against HX and have won all cases that have made there way to court.

I received two very intimidating and threatening letters from HX Car Park Management re parking fines. I appealed one as it was only about a 10 minute overstay and paid the other. Unfortunately I paid the wrong one My mistake. I decided to ring the firm as it was impossible to sort out the problem online. What a contrast to the letters! My call was answered promptly and Kayleigh sorted the problem efficiently. She was very helpful, sympathetic and understanding. What a contrast to the tone of the letters and the experience of many who have posted comments on Trust Pilot

Unfortunately another shopping center (WIllowbrook Centre, Bristol)that lets its customers, workers and carriers be scammed by a money stealing machine that is in charge of its parking lot. HX Car park management the best expert in extracting your money.
I am not going back to this mall.

Trying to charge my £100 for not paying for parking within 10 minutes! The parking machine only accepted change which this day and age card or phone payment is usually available due to covid. I’ve gone into the shop over the road for money over paid for parking due to no change being given. Few days later £100 fine for not paying with 10 minutes. They’re having a laugh.

Please please please do not give this company the pleasure of parking on their land, I had the worst experience and ended up paying £60 for 1.5 hrs due to the APP not working, phoned them up to explain however, totally had no interest and basically said tuff !!! I wanted to appeal but then reading all the issues people have had decided not to due to the fine going up to £100 if not paid, the government should ban these types of money sharks as they have no customer service skills and need to fine you instead of listening to the issues,DO NOT USE
