Masala Bazaar - Stapleton Road, Bristol — Local services in Bristol

...Still an absolute con! and still minus £140. Despite the reply below that they can help me resolve the parking fine because I legitimately used their car park only to be told that its out of their control and nothing to be done. "Sorry sir, its up to the car parking company and is out of our control" yet they "fail" to understand that they employed this system to begin with. Sure, it was passed the 28 days from PCN issue which means I cannot appeal, but working away 6 weeks at a time meant I had no chance of seeing this in time. Someone somewhere is making a killing by not providing an adequate system to input or record your registration number. Don't take my word for it, look at everyone else's reviews.

Absolutely avoid this company! Any establishment which impose fines sneakily and illegitimately should not be supported. Its theft. However its your fault if your don't respond to the PCN in time, how ironic!

Absolute con! Got charged £140 for using their car park as its unclear that my reg needed to be recorded, only time I went there and spent over £200 on goods. There are lots of signs (small text, unclear) but no computer to enter reg, unlike most legitimate establishments and no cashier ask for my registration number, like all other companies. Will not be shopping from this company again as they ruined my credit score. I am also sure there will be a reply to this review stating that its "well sign posted" but having a big parking 'P' at your front door and plain-text, A4 prints all over the wall still doesn't mean anything. Most establishments will have a touchscreen facing you as you enter the store/hotel/restaurant. If you (Masala Bazaar) want to help resolve this issue, with partial or full refund, then I am more than happy to provide my receipt and the review will be retracted. However, I very much doubt this will...

I am regular customer there only on the 6th of November my husband forgot to register our car. Got the ticket on the 15th received the Ticket to pay 60£ went in the next day to masala Bazaar the guy at the counter said they will take care of it as you are our regular customer. We came back home satisfied that the ticket would be resolved only to know that just yesterday received another ticket of the same incident that now you have to pay 100£. Went there again one of the guy took the ticket from us and told us this would be now resolved I also took the video when I was handing over the ticket to the staff member.

Could anyone please advise me should I trust them or pay the fine before it gets out of hand.? Thank you.

Cause this makes me wonder if this could happen to regular customers who somehow on that particular day forgot to register their car at the till what would be point of going back to masala Bazaar again...!!!

Hello,

I have paid the fine now. I was a regular Customer for the past 5 years. And really never wanted to leave a review on Google, but had to do it because the ticket wasn't still canceled it was still active when I paid the fine.

Had I known that, I would have paid 60£ instead of 100£ but I trusted the staff. Just 2 days ago my husband went in again driving all the way from Cribbs Causeway to have the ticket canceled.

Anyhow with this being done now, I and my husband won't be coming back to Masala Bazaar anymore. For 100£ you have lost your...

I visited this store a few years ago and now I am being hounded by evil parking companies Civil Enforcement Ltd and DCBL for parking here without authorisation on 2 occassions! Both times I was not aware I had to register my car and when i went in, I did not see any signs telling me I had to register and no member of staff checked with me when i paid for my shopping - in fact they were utterly rude. You would think that a car park in front of a shop has FREE PARKING! I would like contact details for this shop so that i can get this stupid situation expunged. Thank you.

UPDATE: Considering the stunning amount of cases on here about the ongoing PARKING SCAM from this 'business' i wonder if anyone has gone to the police about this? I have recieved a Judgement for Claimant (in default) for these idiots and I am having to spend my days researching how to fight this. This is having a negative impact on my mental health and I am going to go to the police and possibly counter-sue this company. Just wondering if anyone else wants to...
