No Star customer service

You call them and they are just confirming what you have on the letter. In 2026 cannot do installments online only on the phone, they ask on the phone to give them all the bank details to make the payment.

Excellent customer service from Karen!

I spoke to Karen today about a parking charge that had been passed to Debt Recovery Plus. She was incredibly kind, patient and understanding. She listened to my situation and went out of her way to help me.

Thank you so much, Karen, for your help and understanding. You were absolutely lovely and made a stressful situation so much easier.

5 stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very difficult company to deal with

Very difficult company to deal with. They offer to discuss options. Those options offered are pay or be taken to court. They are not a bailiff, they are just a way of adding to the fine. Very intimidating, very difficult to communicate with.

Calm, cordial and polite

Rachael who dealt with my query was very easy to converse with, remained calm and was able to smoothly assist and move my concern forward in a polite and cordial way. I received the info I needed, it was followed up in a timely and efficient manner - and the matter has now been resolved. Rachael kept me updated through out.

Chasing dead people after receiving death certificate

Spoke to this company on behalf of my Uncle to pay parking fine. tried to pay, my bank froze my account as they recognised this as a scam. My Norton account on my phone would not allow me to proceed. In the interim, my Uncle died. I phoned them and they were helpful. I sent of the death certificate as the debt died with him. Today I received a threat from them. What a scummy company. Will phone them tomorrow to see what went wrong and who was sacked. I am so upset
