Elm Park Car Park

Just got here and parked greeted by a carpark attendant..as from yesterday it's now in private hands...1 hours parking £1.50!!! No wonder there were only a few cars parked, normally looking for a space. Feeling sorry for local trade. The car park attendent thought it was a bargin! London apparently £10 for two hours...this is Elm park. Essex not Theatre Land!

DO NOT PARK HERE!

I paid for an hours ticket to be safe but left after 23 minutes, a week later I received a fine for £100 as I “didn’t pay for a ticket with the grace period” (10 minutes) this is because you can’t pay by card in the car park and I had to download their app and pay that way which was completed 12 minutes after entering the car park.

The automated phone line is no help and if you appeal online you automatically go to the higher fine level if unsuccessful which judging by the other reviews and comments is 100% of the time.

In summary I paid for over double the amount of time I was parked there whilst being parked there and was fined £100 for doing so.

AVOID THIS CAR PARK, paid to park her go to central. Paid £8 & change for the vehicle to be picked after few hours. My train journey was late therefore i was 15min late but these scamers have charged me £55 fine!!! its all automated cameras and this car park is just a money making machine waiting for you to enter.

Drove in then out to turn around and was fined, wasn’t even in there for a minute, they changed all the times on their photo evidence and refused to believe my dash cam footage was the real thing and said I had edited it!

Don't park here, their online payment system won't work sometimes and they will charge you

Abusive. They charge me a fine regardless I have paid online because I spent too much time downloading the App to pay. The machine was not working, and the parking lot if full of broken glass everywhere making it impossible to park

DO NOT USE THIS CAR PARK. I used this car park last week for the first time in years and is run by a company called One Parking Solution. After parking, I went to the ticket machine but it was "NOT IN USE", so I had to mess around paying using my phone which was a right palaver listening to a robot giving instructions and trying to punch in all the digits on my phone i.e. location number, amount of time you wanted, your card number, card expiry, 3 digits on the back and then finally my car registration. Despite paying the correct amount for my stay (£2.60 for two hours) I still received a £100 fine because I took too long to pay the charge and went over their "grace period" which I knew nothing about. I sent off an appeal letter and got a reply back saying my appeal had been unsuccessful. The fine is £60 if I pay early. This is nothing short of ROBBERY, THEFT AND A ABSOLUTE SCAM.

Do not use this car park. Parked twice recently and used Ringo app as it appeared on app, only to receive PCN for £100 and now expecting a second one. Now in hands of private company. Do not live in area, just visiting business in area, so unaware of previous difficulties. Reading previous posts and talking to One Parking Solution who have issued ticket, do not hold out much hope of a successful appeal. Cannot get hold of Ringo to ask why it is shown on their app but it is not valid to use Ringo.
