Impossible to deal with if you are a client looking for parking management. They no longer take any calls so it's an absolute nightmare to establish any kind dialogue with them. Instead, you are greeted by an angry and rude receptionist called Kim who is the most unhelpful person I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

We will be taking our business elsewhere.

I would give zero stars if possible.
At the start of July we were given a parking ticket outside our flat by Countrywide. For the one and only time our permit was not on display we received a ticket. We appealed giving evidence that we had been living in the flat for 6 years, we proved that the parking operative arrived within minuets of us and would easily recognise our car, so why not ask where is our permit? We have also proved that other residents are parking without a permit on a regular basis. All rejected by Countrywide.
Therefore our appeal went to the Independant Appeals Service, after 3 weeks wait they also rejected our appeal stating that legally we are in the wrong and they dont factor in our evidence, IT IS NOT ARBITRATION IF BOTH SIDES ARE NOT REPRESENTED.
I fully understand that our permit was not on display at that moment in time but that is not my argument, why should i need a permit if other residents dont even have one?
If possible stay well away from any privately managed carparks.

If you find yourself reading Google Reviews of countrywide parking then chances are you have received a ticket from these cash-sucking scumbags and are looking for ammunition to fuel your complaint - or maybe you are just curious to see if everyone else loathes them as much as you do. Welcome to the club.

Yet again I find myself wanting to smash my forehead slowly and repeatedly into a brick wall trying to get through to this vile group of imbeciles masquerading as a parking company.

I "received" a ticket from countrywide whilst parked outside my own flat, but was not given one of the hallowed yellow tickets on my car or sent a letter. I guess it's some kind of ghost ticket.

Unsurprisingly I didn't know I had a ticket until I received a letter saying that my fine (what fine) had now increased. Obviously I went to appeal it but conveniently the window for appealing was now closed. No way of contacting them via phone, no email for inquiries or complaints of course.

After emailing their info (at) email address I was told that they can receive appeals by post (obviously not doing that, this isn't the bronze age times have moved on).

I've since started getting letters from debt collectors (not paying them, go on, take me to court) and have lodged complaints with the International Parking Community, the British Parking Association and Dorset Council (who are parent company to Seascapes, the company that I pay my rent to)

If you're reading this as the recipient of an unfair parking ticket: my heart goes out to you, keep fighting the good fight and do not let these suckers win at any cost

If you are reading this as an employee of countrywide: pigs will fly before I pay your stupid unfair fine. I will never give up. bite me.

My previous review was removed then looking over the guidelines I can’t see what I done wrong. So, I have debilitating stomach condition and for necessary reason I had to park. I was parked for no longer than 3 mins and I was issued a 100 parking fine. Please don’t think about using them. Or even appealing it they're corrupt and money grabbing. Don’t park in West Quay Car Park in Fareham

Absolutely disgusting! Issuing fines to your own allocated space just because you forgot to display your parking permit because of an emergency. Appeal was made yet being rejected!

Heartless, greedy and unpleasant company.

They issue tickets like confetti at a wedding leaving you having to pay quickly and then seek a refund if they deem your case worthy. They are judge and jury.

If you see a car park with their name on it park elsewhere, pay on a council meter, risk a yellow line, drive on. Buying a ticket or using a visitors permit in their designated areas is no safeguard you will not get a ticket. They will issue one anyway and just hope you cannot be bothered to fight it.

What a vile way to make money in the name of protecting residents in their own parking zones. No one is safe. I wouldn't be surprised if staff at their head office got given tickets if they dared to drive to work.

In my opinion they are a revolting, money-grabbing zero-ethics company I will forever avoid parking anywhere near.
