      Incident took place on June 13th @ 9:13pm. I am being charged for not renewing parking in a lot that $ was intended to be collected by the employee at entry. There was an issue with his system and he instructed me to pay at the machine with the first option and said it would be good for the night. The detailed story is below. I was trying to park in the ******* lot but it became full and I was directed to the *** ****** ****** lot. I entered this lot from ******* St. If you check the security footage for this lot, you will see I am one of the first cars to enter and approach the employee. Your employee was on the phone due to an issue with his card-reading device. I waited a few minutes. He then told me to go pay at the machine and pick the first option, it would be the same price for the evening. His instruction indicated that the price for the first option of 2 hours was going to be the same as paying through him and would not need renewal as I was in the lot he was in charge of and directed me to. I clarified that if I was attending an event past two hours it would still be that price. He was adamant that it was correct. If the employee did not tell me it was the same price or just told me to use the machine I would have renewed. I should not have to pay $30 for an employee error in communicating and a lack of sufficient technology with LAZ parking.  I park with LAZ for events frequently. I have never had this issue before. I feel since I communicated with the employee and was following his direction this should be reduced to a warning and the fine removed. LAZ can view my previous park mobile transactions to see that I always renew my parking prior to expiration. In the future if machines are not working employees should not monitor the lot entrance as this clearly is causing issues. It is the responsibility of the employer to provide technology that works. This is the not the first time I have seen employees struggling with their payment systems.

      Hello, I had submitted a complaint via your website on 06/15. 

      This complaint has been resolved through the business directly to my email. Is there a way to mark this as a successful resolution? The business was professional and quick to get back with me.

      On 5/24/24, I had a guest arrive at ****** international airport at 10:40 AM. He arrived on flight DL 0751 from *******, WI. This being the start of a very busy Memorial weekend, the airport was insanely busy and very challenging to get through to pick up my guest. I was able to get to where he was waiting at 11:06 AM, he threw the bags in the back of my car and we drove to 13 coins restaurant in ******, WA. A car was pulling out of a parking spot as we pulled in so we took that parking spot at approximately 11:20/11:25. The sign specifically stated it was three hours of free parking and there would be a $50 fine if that three hour time limit was exceeded. We chuckled, knowing that we would make sure we stayed on top of that timeframe. We got our tab at 1:56 PM, paid and got to the car at 2:03 PM. I noticed there was a parking fine ticket in a baggie tucked under my windshield wiper. I was trying to figure out why that would be because in order to have exceeded the three hour limit, we would have had to have been in that parking spot by 10:29 AM because the ticket was issued at 1:29 PM on 5/24/24 and it is a three hour time limit! I hadn’t even picked up my guest yet at the airport as he had not even landed!! This is an absolute bogus and blatant lie that this company is projecting on the guests who are parking outside of any of the businesses, not just 13 coins restaurant. This is regarding notice number 70332079 in the amount of $50 , it said that the overtime parking exceeded a three hour limit and this is a blatant lie. Under officer it says **** security. I’m not giving you my plate number as this is some thing that may be read by others and LAZ parking should be able to go off of the notice number/date/time I have indicated in this complaint. I refuse to make this payment online and pay them an additional $3.50 to process it when this is a bogus and unlawful ticket in the first place! I will mail my check in at the address they provided on the receipt.

      I parked in a lot on 3/14/24 at 1:50pm I parked in a lot by LAZ Parking to head into a law office nearby after being the victim of sexual harassment and assault. I paid through the website listed on the signs and followed the process accordingly. It was a total of $5.35. I tried logging in while at this appointment and it said "no reservations found." Screenshots provided of it and receipts. I got back to my vehicle and looked for an attendant to make sure everything was fine but there was not one in the lot. TWO MONTHS later I received a "fine" in the mail stating that I am being fined for not paying for parking. I did pay for parking and superseded ensuring everything was done correctly. I was indeed charged for parking that day. The FINE is $92- NINETY TWO DOLLARS! $92 is ridiculous by any account, especially for a fine when someone paid and input their credit card into the system to pay for the parking charges. This is predatory on all accounts. I feel revictimized over parking and needing to park to consult with a lawyer over sexual and physical assault. This was already a horrible day, week, and an overwhelming couple of months dealing with court, statements, testifying, appearances, hearing, etc. Now for the past 2 weeks I have been emailing PRRS to resolve this issue and am met with automatic email responses and then eventually a different representative asking me for the same information I have already sent a dozen times. I am sure this is done intentionally and not to be helpful. This must be a tactic in an attempt to ensure payment of the $92 bill I am being extorted to pay. I continue at this very moment to get the runaround from anyone at PRRS using the email provided on the notice I received in the mail. **********@parkingrevenuerecovery.com. I plan on forwarding these emails and notice to my lawyer and victim advocate working on this current case and seeking help and guidance as I very much feel preyed on by this company.

      Apartment building has an underground parking lot maintained by LAZ Parking. Each unit is required to pay $65/mo for access, regardless of whether they use the garage. Additional occupants are required to pay for their own parking pass if more than one is needed per unit. LAZ is failing to maintain their equipment which is also creating a safety hazard as all of interior access doors in our parking garage are unlocked, as we are typically required to scan our parking passes to gain entry. Over the winter, our garage door stopped working and was permanently propped open for the time being. I submitted a previous complaint to the BBB for this against property management, but it has become clear that LAZ are the ones not doing their due diligence. This took several months to repair, but was finally resolved closer to the beginning of 2024. It only took a few months before their equipment began malfunctioning again. When reaching out asking what all of the monthly fees are going toward from all of our residents, LAZ explained to me they don't keep an emergency maintenance budget for these types of incidents. A nationwide company such as LAZ not having a budget for simple fixes to maintain the integrity of controlled access buildings is alarming and needs to be addressed.

      Dear: **** ********
      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our garage. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our customer’s experience and your input is crucial in that process! We may not agree on everything, but just want to assure you that we are diligently working with our vendor to resolve the equipment issue at this location. When the hard drive of the server fails, it’s a lengthy process to recover the data, rebuild the database transfer, and load the data to the new server.  In some cases, the data isn't even recoverable.   I know how frustrating it can be to have the doors for the garage left open, but we want to make sure our residents have access to the garage until the equipment is fixed. We value your business and are committed to ensuring a smoother experience in the future.

      I paid $15 as instructed and the parking atten***t told me to park on level 2. The row was half full with SUV’s, trucks, etc including on the ends on both levels. I backed in and did not see anything listed not to park there as I do not have a back up camera and didn’t see anything posted on any other spot. I received a ticket showing compact parking only. My other car is a compact Honda Accord Se*** measuring 195” in length. My Jeep measures 189” in length that I got a ticket for. I have a clean driving record and never had a parking ticket. I’m requesting as a one time courtesy, this citation to be reduced to a warning only with no payment being necessary. The location date time was 2/10/2024 at 8:07pm at the Neil Ave Garage.

      Dear *** ********:

      This is a valid citation for being parked in a compact car space. Your vehicle is not a compact car and there are signs posted in the Parking stalls clearly stating SUVs, Vans, and Trucks are prohibited.  These Vehicles are not permitted to park in compact car spaces at this location due to their height and size, regardless of if they fit in the space or not. The objective of the Compact Car only spaces in this garage is to allow for greater visibility for vehicles making turns in the Garage.  Pedestrian and vehicle safety is our highest priority at LAZ Parking and while the vehicle may fit in the location the view obstructions that it may present put our customers at risk. Therefore, only low-profile compact CARS are permitted in these locations. As a one-time courtesy, this citation is being reduced to a warning only. No Payment is necessary.  Thank you for your business.

      On 12/09/23, I paid for parking using the QR code posted in the parking garage at *** ** ***** **** *********** The garage advertised $5 parking, and we paid $5.35 (per our credit card records). We received a notice (******-******) in the mail on 12/20/23 charging us $92 and stating our parking had expired while we were in the garage. We parked in the garage for 4 hours, and there were no signs posted in the garage indicating a time limitation on the $5 charge. Additionally, the notice does not provide specifics on how long we were in violation or the amount of time our $5 payment covered. If we knew there was a time limitation, we would have either paid for more time (there was no option to do this on the QR code site) or found a different location. Charging a $92 fee to a paying customer who followed the directions on the signs in their garage is a predatory practice.

      I parked at the deck adjacent to my hotel in Memphis Tennessee. I attempted for probably an hour to pay as directed upon arrival at the parking garage. I received numerous errors to the point where I called the number provided and was told “text please” and when I texted back, never received a reply. I then went downstairs and found someone affiliated with LAZ parking and told them the situation at which point he wrote down my license plate number and told me that I would not be charged since it was an error on the company’s end. The parking rate was something like $26 a day, which I was trying to pay and would have gladly paid as I was there on business. However, as detailed above, was not able to make a payment. Weeks later I received a bill and violation notice from the company for $92, roughly 4x the amount I should have been assessed. I filed a dispute with the company and did not hear back. I sent multiple emails requesting the company acknowledge receipt of the dispute and only ever got automatic replies saying they have a backlog of around 14 business days. Weeks later I received another piece of mail, this time from a law firm saying the amount was in collections. Like I said, I would have been happy to pay the $26, but I believe it is the company’s own fault for not having working technology for me to make that payment. Certainly I shouldn’t be assessed a penalty for their own lack of working technology. Previously I had parked at this deck with no issues paying as I exited, this being prior to LAZ buying the deck.

      I Spoke to Mr. **** on 1-3-23.  After conversation, I will send over a request to our third-party vendor (PRRS) to dismiss citation.  Normally takes about 5-7 business days for adjustment to happen. He can check through PRRS web portal that's listed on citation.

      This shows nowhere insight that I parked my vehicle in a paid parking spot. I never been to this establishment and saw an available parking spot and proceeded to park. I was towed for failure to pay which I again saw no sign to indicate or tell me otherwise.

      Good Morning - 


      Based on the photo provided, we believe we are aware of the location that the individual was parked at. This location has a large sign at the entry of the lot depicting it is a paid lot and multiple signs throughout the lot with information on how to pay. Due to this, a refund is not due. If the parker has any further questions, we would be happy to work with them directly if they reach out to our regional office.

      I parked in this lot for a total of 22 hours on Friday October 27th. I have a friend who lives in the building attached and have parked in this lot many times. Historically, parking is $15 for up to 24 hours of parking but I noticed the price had changed to $25 for 10-24 hours of parking this trip. When I paid my ticket, I was charged $50. Thinking I was overcharged, I emailed the business manager and let them know about the situation. I was told that the rates are $25 for 10-24 hours, but the rates “reset” at 4am. I arrived to the lot at 6:45pm and left at 4pm the next day, which was charged as being 2 separate reservations (6:45pm-4am, then 4am to 4pm), which would be $25 each. This was absolutely not made clear and has never, ever been an issue in the past. I firmly believe that to advertise 24 hour parking for $25 ONLY if you park from 4am to 4am is a gross misrepresentation of the pricing and purposefully deceptive information. I have attempted to reach out to the business but usually have to email them twice before getting a response and rather than being willing to engage in conversation, they continue to defend their deceptive practices. I have no doubt that this business knows how they are misrepresenting their charges and deceiving their customers. To advertise $25 for 24 hour parking but proceed to charge me for 48 hours worth of parking is ridiculous and a horrible business practice. I want the state to be aware of this.

      Good Morning –

       

      I hope this finds you well. I was unable to find the link to respond to complaint #20833369 via the below email, so please let me know if this may need to be sent elsewhere.

       

      On 10/28/2023, the below parker reached out to our customer care team about their request to be refunded. Our customer care team responded shortly after explaining that the locations rates reset at 4am, but looped in management of the site to provide further details. A response was provided to the parker on 10/30/2023 explaining the rate bands, how the rates reset, and how the system calculated their charges. The parker responded explaining their position, and stated they would be filing a complaint with the BBB if a refund was not provided. At this point, the complaint was escalated on our team, and a director responded to the parker by providing their phone number to discuss the matter on 11/3/2023. The parker responded stating that they were unwilling to make time to call in that week unless we were going to provide a resolution.

       

      The rate signs at this location state that stays above 12 hours is $25, and that rates reset at 4am. The timing and policy of the rate resets at this location have not been adjusted since the opening in 2018. Due to this, a refund is not due.

      Please let us know if you have any questions.

       

      Thank you,

      Description: LAZ Parking_Color - 1

       
    • Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On October 16, we parked in a LAZ Parking lot just north of Northbank condos. We had parked there years ago and paid at a terminal. The terminal wasn't operational. We saw the sign by the entrance. We downloaded the app. The app was confusing, but we signed in as a guest. We input our CC number, expiration date, and security code, plus other requested information. After standing in their lot for 15 minutes working through the app, we thought we had made the payment and were done. The LAZ system should have registered the fact that we had input our CC number. There was never an attempt to avoid paying for parking in their lot. We found a ticket on our car. We thought we had done everything correctly. We appealed. LAZ Parking restricts appeals to 500 characters, not enough to explain much. We believe we paid for parking. It is not our fault that LAZ Parking’s app is confusing and didn’t register our payment. After denying my appeal, I sent a message to the company saying that I would send the amount we thought we had already paid ($8.00 plus change). A $30.00 fine under the circumstances was unwarranted and unfair. LAZ Parking ignored this correspondence. It shouldn't take 15 minutes to pay for parking in Columbus. A $30.00 fine is excessive, not valid, and the judgment rendered is arbitrary and unfair. I will gladly pay what I thought we had already paid. Reasonable people would resolve this situation in this manner. But LAZ Parking apparently isn’t interested in being rational. They seem perfectly content with levying fines and threatening to employ collection agencies. Terminals that don’t work, apps that are confusing, an appeals process that is arbitrary and restricted, ignoring customer correspondence, and making threats seems to be the way Laz Parking chooses to enhance its revenues. This kind of behavior gives Columbus a black eye. It's this kind of experience that keeps older folks like us from coming downtown.

      Dear Mr. ***** ******:

      This citation was issued on 10/13/23 (Not 10/16 as indicated above).  LAZ Parking contracts with ParkMobile which is a 3rd party payment processing App.  The instruction posted throughout the parking lot clearly explain how to use the App and pay for parking.  All Customers are expected to follow those instruction and there were no issues with the App on 10/13/23 when the citation was issued.  Multiple customers paid without incident throughout the day (and night).  In addition to the instructions posted in the lot, LAZ Parking has a 24/7 Command Center phone number posted in the lot so that customers can call if they are having issues paying.  Generally, payment via the ParkMobile App takes about 1-2 minutes.  However, Customers who cannot successfully navigate the app should consider other parking options including the Neil Ave Garage located directly across the street from this lot.  It is automated and prorated to the nearest 1/2.     As a one-time courtesy, this citation is being reduced to the parking rates in effect at the time you parked.  The rate for parking was $8.00.   Please reference the citation (orange envelope) for further details on how to pay or go to ViolationsParking.T2Hosted.com or make payment via check/money order mailed to the address listed at the bottom of the ticket. We appreciate your business, Thank you.
