I received a bill for a parking violation in early June for a parking deck that I used in April. I disputed the claim 3 times and no one contacted me. I have received another bill for the same violation today and have sent a 4th dispute. They are ignoring my disputes and just want me to pay them an unjustified fee.Business Response

On June 6, 2022 my son, ****, and I visited ********** University for an official college tour (invitation attached). We were told to park in the **** **** *** Garage in Nashville, TN and to take our parking ticket (digital) to the Book Store for validation. We did this before the tour and received a receipt with a zero balance for our parking (receipt attached). On July 7, 2022 we received a Notice of Parking Violation (also attached) from McKinley Payments. It details a $7 unpaid parking fee and a $70.25 violation fee. I have contacted McKinely through their website on July 8th, July 9th, and July 15th and although I receive automated emails back saying my despute is being reviewed and a "real person" will contact me back, no one has contacted us. There seems to be no way to call or direct email this company and I want to meet an agreement by the Pay By date of July 31st as they have my credit card information and my license tag information. Thank you!Business Response

Thanks so much. I did just get the attached email from McKinley Parking saying that I owe them nothing. But, I really don't trust this company as they have asked me to again add a credit card to my account for future needs. The ratings and complaints for this company on social media are astounding. I'm hoping something can eventually be done. Thanks for your assistance as I am sure that it helped me finally get this email from them that I have saved for my records.Initial Complaint

We received a notice from McKinley Payments of a parking violation #XXX-XXX-XXX). The picture attached to the violation notice online show a licnse number of JK **** and a picture of a white truck. Our license number is UK **** and is on a car. Upon receiving the notice from McKinley, we filed a dispute online on June 8th and received a confirmation of receipt and a note saying we would be contacted by a human. Today 7/16/2022, we received a 2nd notice to pay and a statement that this will be turned over for collection. I cannot find a phone number for this business at the address listed on the violation (502 6th Ave. South, Nashville, TN 37203. I filed a second complaint on line, but with no
response to the first, I am not expecting to hear from them. This is not our vehicle and I do not want my credit damaged for something that is not even mine.Business Response

On 6/24/22 I parked in a lot beside the ****** ******* store on 8th Ave S, Nashville,Tn. When I came out I had a $50.00 parking ticket on my windshield. This was on a late Friday evening. I have been parking there for TWO YEARS and never got a citation. I did not know it was a paid parking lot. I took photos of the lot/area, etc. The machine you're supposed to pay at is very far back in the lot so it doesn't appear to even belong to that lot. The lot is attached to an antique shop that is connected to **. There is a small sign as you pull in that doesn't say it is a paid lot.and at the very bottom in much smaller letters, it says ******* Lot Premier Parking. I paid the fine... but this is ********.Business Response

Thank You, I would appreciate that. Attached you will find a copy of the ticket I found attached to my windshield, as well as the check I sent to Premier to pay it. You may review the photos I submitted with my complaint attached to the initial dispute with BBB. I DO NOT agree with the ticket or the amount charged, however, I did not want any further expenses or issues. Again, I would appreciate the charges be dismissed altogether.

On July 6th 2022 I visited a parking lot managed by this business. They had a sign displayed outside the lot that stated "1st hour free". I have attached a photo of that sign. The company charged me nearly $** even though I was only parked for 38 minutes.
Their false price advertisement is predatory. The business refused to refund my money. The business is a predator.Business Response

I parked at the Metropolis managed lot named the "***********" which is a surface lot at *********************************. The kiosk instructs you to scan a code and enter your tag / car information. There is a sign clearly stating "First Hour Free." I went to their website and the opening page for that location says $**/* hours. However, if you click "View Details" the charge for two hours is $*. I provided screen shots for both pages. According to my receipt, I parked at *:*5pm and left at 9:*5pm. My credit card was charged $*****. When I found their very difficult-to-find customer service number************* and chose option 1 for customer service, the service agent told me that I was charged for 14 hours. The agent said "we can't do anything about this and they were sorry." I informed them that I would file a complaint and she abruptly hung up. Their contradictory information on their rates is deceitful and I feel like they stole my money. Please see attached screen prints. The link is: *************************.Business Response
