Britannia Parking Avis 

£20 per day is the only option for paying to park at Ashford Surrey near the Tesco Express. This is very shady because this is not made clear and bold upfront until you park and go up close to read the parking information signs. By then you are trapped as there is no grace period mentioned

Although I could not get either of the parking machines to work at Saundersfoot Harbour car park I was still fined despite making an appeal

Received notification that a parking fine was now £95 has hadn’t been paid within 14 days. I never received the first parking fine letter so contacted them, no response received and therefore had no option but to pay £95 before the deadline and threat it would be handed over to debt collector.

At the time of the alleged offence in May, the only available parking machine at the location was out of order, making it impossible to pay for parking.

I did not receive any prior correspondence or notification regarding this fine until now, when I received a letter from a solicitor demanding payment of £170 and threatening legal action. I find this both surprising and concerning, especially given that the failure of the parking machine was entirely outside of my control.

It is unreasonable and unfair to penalise individuals for not paying when the facility to do so was not available. I would appreciate it if this matter could be reviewed and the fine withdrawn.

For my next steps I know need to spend hours of my life proving I never received the parking fine and that the machine was out of action (lucky I took a photo).

I find it hilarious people are ranting.....after paying them. I'm not paying, they havnt a hope.
Just feel sorry for those that paid.
Anyway keep paying if you are weak.
A certain person parks on purposely , after all, it isn't me is it , without paying just to have the fun of beating them each and every time .
Don't fall for their terms. They are not in authority , or an authority.
Any of their terms are not recognised, as I'm just the registered keeper.
Of course I'm not the driver! Ho ho ho.
Still not got me yet, nor has parking eye , ukpc , etc.
Keep trying !

I was issued with a £100 parking fine for not having a ticket despite the fact that I did have a pay and display ticket. Ticket was clearly displayed on dashboard. No easy appeals process if you didn't keep the original ticket (and why would you when you legitimately paid). They are an extortion racket masquerading as a proper company. I have read all the horror stories about them so just paid it rather than fight, though now I feel like I have given in to malpractice.

Paid for parking by cash but then fined to say i didnt pay. VIDEO WHEN PAYING BY CASH AS YOU MAY NEED TO PROVE YOU DID. This seems to be a common occurrence with them!! selling details to debt companies to get more money. AWFUL COMPANY & car park was in bad condition too!

Tricked out of £20 paid under protest to cover Brittania Parking's unsubstantiated unreasonable 'costs', despite them accepting my evidence that that I paid for parking and that their machine did not properly register my car's registration.
Did not provide number needed to make independant appeal, so prevented from doing that.
Heads they win, tails I lose.

I received 2 parking fines while on holiday in Poole. I have bank statements proving I paid. Plus I have one of the tickets nightmare trying to contact them. They must have very poor account system or are bunch of scampers probably scamers

Absolute scam company the place i parked had no signs and the staff inside didn't ask any questions... This company is a proper good way for some loser to get rich, however im opening my own carpark management company and my fines will be less so ill take all your business and scam hardworking members of society... Absolute scumbags run this sham of a business it needs to be closed down as I work hard for my car i pay my road tax and insurance now some little muppet wants to fine me for parking in a car parking space...

It seems I too have been had by these scumbags. Went to dentist next door to pub. Always parked there. Got parking demand £100. Date of charge 23/05/2025. Final demand. The first ticket I have received.the discount period is over. There should be a law against these people.if necessary will consult lawyer. So many reviews on this site from people who are being scammed. Bastards

Shocking to receive a £70 fine for being literally 3 minutes late back to my car in a supermarket car park

Popped in Charnwood arms for an hour....2 weeks later get a bill for £100 parking for not registering the car... car park was empty !!!

Not even 1 star. Get your machines working. How are elderly people without phones supposed to pay?

Attempted to park at the train station lot in Witham. Visiting from USA and had a rental. Checked all the kiosks in the area and all were out of order. Was in the lot for 13 minutes to figure out what to do and received a notice of 100 pound fine. Scammy!

Could I not score them less, they are unbelievable, the appeals process is a waste of time as they don’t care, bland responses and don’t listen to the explanations. They give someone 10 minutes to find a parking place walk to a pay station, read all the information make a decision, return to the car and leave. Wow beware 10 minutes and not a minute over.

These parking companies need to be independently controlled with independent appeals process and the parking charges need to be more realistic- better still close them down

I am a carer of a disabled person, we had parked using a disabled blue badge in a disabled bay. I had to take the disabled person I care for to an opticians appointment, pick medications up from the chemist and to do a food shop, I was within the time limit of the blue badge (3 hours) and was given a parking ticket, which I appealed. However, Britannia parking ltd never acknowledged my appeal which was sent to them the day I received the parking charge letter. I then had bailiffs turn up at my door with a debt collection letter claiming I now owed £170.00. I am disgusted in Britannia parking ltd! You have bullied and threatened a charge of £170.00 out of a disabled person and me the carer. Your attitude is vile as there seems to be no leeway towards anyone who appeals or challenges you. Your money grasping and threatening behaviour is outrageous! You’ve discriminated against a disabled person, I hope you’re happy with yourselves! Typical car parking rogues!!!!!! 🖕🏼

Thieving scum bags abusing their powers to steel from the public. It seems to me that they deliberately have ticket machines out of order so that they can impose penalty fines. It's about time the government did something about this.
It's a pity I have to leave a one star review. I would have left a minus 10! if I were able.

Absolute thieving scumbags. My fine arrived with only a week to appeal. Had a family meal at the pub. Cherry tree Newcastle under Lyme. When I entered the staff never mentioned the car park rules and the screen wasn’t in operation. Visited this pub many of times before never had this issue. Can only assume they have done this as the hospital is down the road and they’ve decided shaft the hospital workers that already get their pockets emptied by another corrupt car parking company. Scum isn’t harsh enough.

Warning £100 parking fine if the machine at The Little Harp in Clevedon North Somerset BS21 is not working. You will not know though as no notification given to confirm parking excepted or not!
After 2nd notice you will receive a Bailiff letter with extra of course .
Not worth calling the number in the parking notice it doesn't work again neither does the email get a confirmation or reply.
Worried for the mature customers. The staff will help but even they are not responded to!
