Parking charge was issued despite prebooking parking

The parking spaces at the Northern Quarter car park in Manchester were very tight for a larger car. I found the staff I spoke to to confirm I was ok to have arrived slightly after the prebooked time very friendly. As was the security guard who supported me when I arrived back to my car to find a parking charge notice had been issued, which was less positive! Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with parking prebooked online through Apcoa not being visible. This was really frustrating and added unnecessary stress to our day out. On a positive, the parking price using the special offer I found was reasonable for city centre parking for up to 12 hours :)
Let's hope Manchester City Council accept my appeal and cancel the charge, otherwise I will certainly not have been cheap as I will need to take the appeal to court.

Central parking for Chester

Having pre booked parking I was given good information on what to do. There isn’t number plate recognition so you have to take a ticket on entry and speak to the attendant on exit. He was very helpful and patient as I didn’t have my reading glasses on so couldn’t make out my booking number on the receipt. He came out and checked it in person and let us out. Thank you for your help.🙂

I had an issue validating my off shore vantage card for discount parking, so I had to pay the full amount which was quite high as I didn’t prebook, more than double what I should pay. So I emailed to ask if this could be resolved, I received a swift reply from Paul Harwood, in 12 days my query had been dealt with and refunded, excellent service.

it’s a absolute disgrace’

it’s a absolute disgrace’ you cannot justify your pricing in anyway’ you’ve had the car park for less then a year and have already put the price up . It’s a joke , you are treating the travaling public as nothing more the cash cows . You provide absolutely no security for the parked cars , but charge £12 10p per day , basically it’s extortion and shouldn’t be a loud
