Sipcarparks Opiniones 

Disgusting company parked at bowers in Manchester at vampire diaries evening after party in pouring rain pitch black trying to park with a car transporting a disabled passenger and getting a mobility scooter out did not see any signs saying £10 parking charge for certain events even staff. Had no idea I received £100 fine I appealed they showed no compassion what so ever just replied you failed to pay on the day and upheld the charge they are disgraceful money grabbing company puts us off rebooking for next year now please beware of this company it should let us give 0 stars

Absolute Criminals. I struggled to extend my time at Ligwy beach on Anglesey at a PayStation that would not process the payment.
These criminals then tried to extort a huge amount of money whilst providing false evidence from a different car park about half a mile away that I have never been to.
Fight them and they will back down. Report them to the Welsh tourist board ( in my case )
They will threaten you. But to accept over £100 fine for a £2 fee is absolutely criminal.

Absolutely appalling experience.

We made FOUR separate attempts to pay for parking — first via PayByPhone (which failed), then three times at the on-site machine using two different debit cards. Every attempt failed due to their system error. We even took a photo of the machine clearly displaying “Server Not Responding.”

Despite this, SIP issued a £100 charge and rejected our appeal with a generic response claiming we should have left within 10 minutes if payment couldn’t be completed.

So let me get this straight — if THEIR machine and payment system fail, the customer is expected to immediately leave or face a £100 penalty?

There was no refusal to pay. No attempt to avoid payment. We actively tried multiple times. The issue was entirely on their side.

Their response completely ignored the evidence of machine malfunction and relied on template wording about “consideration periods.” There was no proper investigation and no accountability for their equipment failure.

This feels less about fair parking management and more about issuing penalties regardless of circumstances.

Extremely disappointing service and zero common sense.

Avoid at all costs.

i wouldnt even give 1 star, this is not the first time ive issues with this company,
i have a long wheel based sprinter van, costs me more to park which i understand
upper hunback street Hanley ( car park has rubble, bricks and litter, in the evening its not lit up either, so not good for security as you have to use your phone to see where your going
i would use other car parks but barriers on the height restrictions or the other sites run by this terrible company.
ive been parking on the car park for 40 days approx up to xmas working in the shopping centre
today i have a fine from 19th Novemebr 2025 which apparently went to my old address, so on the PCN it states the fine and because its over a period of time it states i cannot appeal
Even though i have proof that the van is registered to my home address
ive just emailed them for an explanation
as on the PCN it states that my vehicle is not permitted on site, strange it shows my van is a sprinter van and they take a higher payment
so not just exceeding the time but the van supposedly is not permitted
You cannot call and chat to anyone about the matter

Also on another matter legal matter.

ive not given the DVLA my authority to give my vehicle registarion number to any third party organisations

Read this which is interesting
Driving with false or cloned license plates in the UK is a serious offense, resulting in on-the-spot fines of £100, which can escalate up to £1,000, along with potential vehicle seizure. While typically a £100 fine without penalty points, serious or repeat offenses can lead to court action, license points, and even up to two years in prison.

im being charged £100 fine, what a crazy system

corrupt to the core.. parked in bradford but machine not working, tried park by phone which said wasnt setup.

complained.. had to pay £100 stay clear..

I parked in their Kenilworth carpark entered car details in the machine and paid one pound cash for one hours stay. i left the car park before the hour was up. Then had a parking fine saying i had not paid!! I know i had paid the cash in the machine but i cannot prove it so i will have to pay a£60 fine.i will never park there again .BEWARE parking in talisman square carpark Kenilworth

This company is an absolute disgrace. £100 fine for staying 10 seconds over the allocated time. You'll never get my custom again.

I used their car park on Xmas Eve and paid on App. There were multiple customer feedbacks that advised SIP will send a fine even if you have paid. Today i received a fine for £100 even though i had paid £8.20 parking - the appeal process is poor and they allow themselves 28 days to respond. I will avoid parking in their car parks any more.

Was 1 hour over, they said it had been 25, appealed and obviously no response in the time frame, fined £100

Scamming people

After receiving a parking fine of stress from SIP carparks of £60.00 to be paid within 28 days.

It’s basically saying that I didn’t pay for my parking.

I payed this and I even took a picture of the machine, the down fall is that the clock times of the machines is 23.12 on the 03/12/2025 which is in the morning (should be 11.12 am). and this is one of them machines which you enter your registration and then pay the fee.

This is a scam that this company will get away with a lot of people, who have payed but didn’t take a screenshot as proof.

I will NOT be paying any fines towards this and I’m even willing to take the matter to any court with my evidence.

Reference number to this is 136363017.

Complete scam, i downloaded the app, followed all the steps, it said all complete, but it did not take the money out of my account, so i ended up with a £100 charge in the post, do not use this scam app

Absolutely disgraceful service from SIP Parking. I received a fine even though my parking ticket fell off my dashboard—something entirely out of my control. When I appealed, instead of addressing the situation fairly, they increased the fine from £35 to £60. I then escalated the appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) and was warned that if it failed, the fine would rise to £100, despite the IAS having a success rate of just 9%, making it virtually impossible to win.

This is nothing short of extortion. SIP Parking is effectively penalizing people for paying to park, then using a complicated, punitive appeals process to squeeze extra money out of you. It’s clear they are more interested in making money off innocent mistakes than actually enforcing any reasonable parking rules.

Do not trust them. This is a company that profits from fear and bureaucracy, not fairness. Completely unacceptable.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! They are all about parking charge notices and they will harras you with letters and stress you out even if you are 1 minute late. Their appeal process is there just so they are "legal' but there's no way in the world that any appeal would be successful as I can read here. Mine wasn't and it was because a medical problem I had. Avoid.

READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE PARKING HERE.

Would not recommend the car park at Burnett Street, Bradford, BD1. Parked as close to work and reasonably priced. Never again! Returned to my vehicle after a long day to find it damaged after and attempted break in. Thousand of pounds worth of damage. It also happened to another 2 cars on the same day. Contact SiP who do not accept liability.

Thieving organisation! They don’t offer the ability to pay for more parking time! Terrible customer service and their appeals service is rigged to suit their profit margins.

I got a PCN having parked in a very small run down car park full of potholes clearly displaying my blue badge as a cancer patient with related disability. I saw the blue badge sign but no print saying fees were still payable - deliberate small print to scam drivers. I appealed but did not receive a response. They then threatened me and I wrote to them, recorded delivery, saying I would like to take this to the adjudicator but they refused saying I hadnt replied to their response in time - which I hadnt received I told them this. I then got a demand for £125 threatening to take me to court. No way of contacting them other than post. No option to complain or take it to adjudication. The potholes also damaged my car. Absolutely vile horrible people and an organisation with no integrity The CEO should be ashamed. I hope they reap what they sow.

I was 17 minutes late getting back to my car, not that I noticed this until I left and then got a charge through the post. Now they want £125 off me. I appealed, but they're all part of the same money scam group. I'd rather go to court.

Never used this carpark/company (i dont drive) but they tried to take £100 out of my bank. Luckily my bank declined the payment

Ticket machine out of order. No internet connection. Tried to call, but was put on a loop, then was cut off. Literally no way to pay. Over a month later received an OVERDUE PCN, without receiving an initial one. SIP Car Parks are a scam racket. They should be banned and prosecuted as such.
