Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 425 reviews, most reviewers had an average experience overall. Customers frequently highlight the positive interactions they have with staff members, finding agents to be professional, empathetic, and understanding when dealing with their situations. Reviewers often felt listened to and appreciated the helpfulness in resolving their issues, sometimes leading to reduced charges or cancelled fines. This personal approach made stressful situations much easier for consumers. However, some customers also noted significant issues with the payment process, including difficulties disputing charges or feeling pressured to pay inflated amounts. Many people experienced poor communication, such as being hung up on during calls, having emails ignored, or not receiving promised callbacks. A few reviewers also found customer service to be dismissive or unhelpful, sometimes requiring multiple attempts to get their concerns addressed.

Great experience

I had a phone call with the debt recovery to cancel a charge, and I was very impressed. They were polite, listened carefully, and handled everything quickly and professionally. The process was smooth, and I felt respected throughout the call. I’m grateful for their understanding and clear communication.

Mike Gibson was excellent in dealing with a truly stressed-out potential debtor. Apcoa were hassling me even after the parking ticket had been cancelled - so when I go on to Mike I was very stressed. He was very helpful and sent me confirmation that my accout was zero immediately.

Unaware of car park ticket.

Contacted these guys to find out about a parking ticket. I was not aware of I'd been getting txs about. Due to no ticket being left on the vehicle. And going through a breakup not being allowed into the property that I was registered at. Having bankruptcy etc due to previous partners debt. Horrible situation. Spoke to Karan who was polite and empathetic to my situation. And has now fully resolved it. Karan has been very helpful and taken alot of stress out of my situation. I really appreciate it. Definitely 5 stars. Thank you kindly.

I spoke to Rachael Ward at Debt Recovery Plus about the debt recovery letter i had received. This related to a parking fine from UK Car Park Management (CPM) that i was twice assured by CPM had been cancelled, instead they passed the fine to Debt Recovery Plus. Rachael has been brilliant, she was very polite, professional and helpful, really not what i was expecting when calling a debt recovery company. Rachael was able to speak with CPM after i provided evidence that i was told the original fine had been cancelled. My case with Debt Recovery Plus has now been closed. Five stars for Rachael, zero stars for CPM. Thank you again Rachael for your help.

Victim of cloned plates - Kiren provided smooth solution.

I had a situation where my plates were cloned and I got tonnes of fines and it was later forwarded to Debt recovery plus to handle.

I spoke with a lovely lady named Kiren who investigated the evidence provided and had the case removed from my name.

Smooth experience. Thank you Kiren

Case finally got resolved

i had been in contact with your company since 11th Feb via phone and emails. I was emailing a staff member and had no replies even after mutiple emails. i phoned up and got rachael ward who dealt with my case very differently. she was fast at responding and within a week she actually resolved my case which is what i needed to be done in Feb. Rachael was professional, freindly and got the job done. Thank you!

Mike from Debt Recovery was very helpful- I had been receiving communications from debt recovery in regards to a fine issued by Smart parking due to them failing to notify Debt Recovery that they had cancelled my parking notice which then meant I was receiving letters to be taken to court. speaking with Mike and making him aware of what’s been going on, he was very helpful and very apologetic as this shouldn’t have happened, I appreciate all he has done to help and get that cancelled. Many thanks again.

Mike Gibson was extremely helpful and understanding of my frustration with Premier Park Ltd and not with Debt Recovery Plus. He went above and beyond in assisting with my ongoing dispute with the aforementioned parking company.
