To begin with this company has no type of respect or knowledge. They dont care about nothing unless they can just tow something and then the company that work for them is a racist person. To begin. My mother has a disability tag in the front of her glass window and she parks there usually. The disabled tag fell and was on the side which you could have seen perfectly fine. Than me and friends went out my friend got a new car and she has not received her hard copy plate so has the temporary plate but its expired and this woman is telling me that it will get towed. Knowing i just told her she was drunk and couldnt drive home. So now when or if she gets pulled over then what??? Its so unprofessional and they need to be shut down immediately.Business Response

Hello. We are sorry to hear about the situation regarding the Handicap placard. Since this is a visual policy item, our team provides photos in the report clearly showing that the handicap placard is visible on the dash or rear-view mirror. It's the responsibility of the vehicle owner to make sure this is always displayed, because as you could imagine, there are vehicles who try to utilize these spaces, and take these spaces from handicapped individuals. Regarding your friends vehicle, you can always register them as a guest, as long as you have available time remaining for that license plate. We will need further details regarding proof of guest pass registration to investigate further. Please email us your guest pass authorization for this vehicle at ******************************************Initial Complaint

This company uses a vague parking policy with ****** apartments and tow cars with little 2 no warning. My vehicle was towed last night and I had to pay $200 at the lot to retrieve it. The vehicle is parked on my own driveway, but because they now have a policy that you cannot park facing to the street they will automatically tell you. Supposedly, they use a camera to scan license plates, but would clearly have to walk around to my car to scan my license plate to have it towed a couple hours later in the early hours of the morning. They use the excuse of a limit on the warnings regardless of category alerting the unit owner, who is a paying registered person and automatically and immediately told the vehicle. They have another policy that if the vehicle is in operable, they *********** tow the vehicle overnight after an issued warning. But if youre out of warnings, they will automatically tow the vehicle. in operable, they mention in the policy to be a flat tire which can happen at anyones random crossing with some thing that *** cause a vehicle to have a flat tire the following morning without their knowledge. To clarify, my vehicle was towed from my own driveway, because I parked it facing the street and the rear facing my unit, which was never made known to meet, was not allowed other than by their random policies on their website.Business Response

Thank you for your message. Each property we work with has their own parking policy for the rules and regulations. Regarding inoperable vehicles, the property deems this to be more egregious, which is why they're strict with their policy. We are simply enforcing their rules and regulations. When you registered for an account, you e-signed the parking policy stating you read and understood all rules and regulations. As a resident, it's your job to make sure that you follow these rules to avoid violations with your vehicles.Initial Complaint

This morning I found that someone had adhered a document to my back drivers side window titled Warning/Aviso. The document claimed that I was illegally parked and subject to being booted or towed. The reason listed was Non-Resident/Non-Guest/Unregistered Vehicle.I am a resident of the community with a current lease, and my car is registered with the management office.The terms of my lease related to parking are detailed on page 4 of 10, section 22, and the Community Policies, Rules and Regulations Addendum, page 2 of 3. Neither have any requirement that I register my car with this company or pay a $70 registration fee. It is illegal to force this fee retroactively when it was not part of the initial lease. This company is aware of all this, but threatens to tow/boot my car if I do not pay their fee. Additionally, they are operating under an unregistered fictitious name, "OnCall Parking", which is a felony if they are involved in towing activities.I attempted to discuss this issue with a representative at their support line, but their employee interrupted me, lied to me, and hung up on my in the middle of a sentence. I attempted to call back, but was left on hold for over 20 minutes. Their threats, if not supported by a lease a resident agreed to and signed, is extortion. There are countless other ways in which they operate that are unlawful and in some cases, criminal.This business needed to immediately cease contacting me, threatening to vandalize or steal my car, etc.Business Response

Hi *****. We arent a towing company, so you dont have to worry about the fictitious name thats registered with the ****************. Regarding the unregistered vehicle within our platform, we recommend that you follow the resident orientation letter instructions and register your vehicle. If you have any issues, please call our customer call center and we would be more than happy to assist you. Regarding your lease agreement, youll want to discuss with your management office.Initial Complaint

The OnCall *************** put a boot on two of my vehicles and towed one. While I understand the rules and am not trying to contest the boots, the towing was unnecessary and unjust as that vehicle should have also been booted rather than towed. We have also been trying to get in touch with the company for over an hour and no one has answered the phone. We were informed by the complex that despite the website stating that the company is open 24hrs, they do not open until 9:30am. That is completely unacceptable as it is AFTER normal business hours. People have to get to work and plenty of other things they need to get done, so for those of us willing to simply pay the fine to have the boot removed this is a huge inconvenience, not to mention ridiculous and completely unprofessional; situations like this ultimately end up costing people much more than the $75 fine to remove the boot on the car and it is not right.Business Response

Our telephone line operates 24 hours per day. Im not sure where youre receiving information that we open at 9:30am. Regarding the van, it was impossible to immobilize due to the rims, which caused the car to be towed. Please follow the rules and your vehicles will not have any issues.Customer Answer

Complaint: 20355322
I am rejecting this response because:My main complaint was the fact that no one answered the phone lines for 2 hours. I didnt contest the boot because I understand how rules work, so your response is both rude and dismissive. It is completely unacceptable for no one to be available to remove the boot in a timely manner. All I requested was a change of practice that ensures that people are actually ******* the phone lines, as I assume they are supposed to be given the fact that everywhere I looked states that the business operates 24hrs.

As I stated in the emails, when I enrolled at 1am, the day of my 14hour move in I thought I paid to have the account activated and up for approvalbut apparently I didnt ..or it was just a hold...I was never notified again of payment once approved-via text or email. I was unaware of a 10day Grace ****** bc no one communicated it to me. As someone new to your product, and new to the complex and all of the chaos that comes with moving, other apps, registrations and feesa courtesy reminder text/email would have shown great customer service. I reached out to a rep and played email-tag. I was given a customer service number that doesnt get a human on the phone and told they have no extensionseven though the initial prompt asks if youd like to enter an extension number.Out of nowhere I received a text and email one night telling me they had not so great news and my Grace ****** had ended and unfortunately Ive incurred a 15% late fee I asked for the fee to be waived due to their lack of customer service and The rep told me its automatic and theres nothing anyone can do about itso Im to pay a 15% late fee unfortunatelyI have yet to register bc this whole situation has been a thorn in my sideBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:I was well aware of the parking permit fee in general, As per my previous attachment, showing I was NOT told of the 10 grace ****** and 15% late fee.
A company with customer service would have sent an automatic reminder via email or text.
I received neither. Im only disputing the late fee not the entire permit.

On 3/31/23 I got issued 2 violation notices. for not registering guests on the oncall parking system. The violations should never have been issued because my condo ONLY has rules about overnight guests. When I reached out to their customer service by chat (which is the only way to reach anyone from this company) they say that the Association is who puts the rules in place, and they are contracted to enforce said rules. When you read other complaints about this company, you see the same response. Its a reoccurring answer. The problem is that my association does not have any rules regarding guest parking hours, Oncall does. I have a welcome letter with Oncalls logo (not my associations) explaining how their system works, how to sign up and then has listed rules and explanations of how their operation is run. When I asked oncall who has authorization to remove violations from my account, their answer, which I quote was "once the violation has been given on the account it stays there." Meaning that there is no way to remove an unwarranted violation. These "violations" that were issued to me, mean that I have to register non-overnight guests into the oncall system as overnight guests...therefore forcing me to limit my visits and limiting these visits to certain times. I am only allowed 14 overnight visits in any one month per the association rules. Oncall is trying to blame the association for setting certain rules, but the truth is that they are the ones who have the control. If my own mother visits me during their patrol hours and she is not registered as an overnight guest, because she is only staying for an hour, they are saying that they have the "RIGHT" to tow or issue violation notices. I think the F***K not! I own my apartment, I know my laws as an owner, and this is ILLEGAL. Stop blaming the associations and take accountability. If association set unreasonable rules, Why would a legitimate business follow them? If I had any say you'd be out of business ASAP.Business Response

Hello, the patrolling hours are agreed upon between the Association and our organization. Whether a car is there for 12 hours or 1 hour, it doesnt preclude you from not having to register. The entire point of the program is to ensure that all vehicles actively parking during the patrolling hours belong to a member of the community. This is why the Association has us in place. If you want to avoid further violations, remember to register the cars via any device that can connect to the internet. You can even register them well in advance of their arrival.Customer Answer

Just because theres ownership of the unit, doesnt preclude that an Association member is exempt from the parking rules set forth by the Association. All violations issued by our patrol team are in synergy with the rules laid out by the Association. Please reference your user account for details on your parking policy.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Your responses keep repeating the same thing, you basically keep saying follow the rules. I know the rules, and your system doesnt allow for anything other than what ONCALL has set for parameters. Anything outside of your set parameters breaks the rules. Your websites are mediocre at best and the service? The service is atrocious. The only way to get a response from you is by writing to the BBB? Why havent you responded to the actual problem at hand?
YOUR SYSTEM IS POORLY DESIGNED and you know it. Why is it that I have to register a guest for an entire 24 hours when theyre only visiting for 3?!
Ive looked into your company, and any association youve worked with all have the same complaints. I truly hope people stop choosing you to serve the community when all you do is set limitations that restrict our rights.
Sincerely,
*************************Business Response
Date: 04/20/2023
Our system allows the registration of hourly passes, but your Association chose to have a 24 hour pass minimum. I would highly suggest that you speak with your Association regarding the rules. These aren't OnCall's rule, as we customize our product and services for each client individually.Customer Answer

My name is *****,I received a warning on my car that was in MY CARPORT. This is a reserved carport that I pay my property for, not them. They have a new guy or woman coming through our property at **************** who is way too crazy with the stickers. My biggest concern is that whoever this person is is messing with cars in their reserved car ports. This is not okay. That is my car port. Like I said I pay my property directly every month for this. They have no business telling me I am double parked in my carport, I have been parking there for a year and a half the same way and never had an issue. This violation needs to be deleted from my record. I Can also tell when this said person is coming through the lot at night because there are a ridiculous amount of warnings on vehicles for dumb reasons. NOW MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is that I emailed them explaining this and was basically told to s**** off.Business Response

Thank you for your message. The rules of your community are set by the owners of the property, not our company. We are tasked with patrolling each and every vehicle at the property, regardless if you have a carport, or a regular parking space. If you have an issue with the double parked rule, you'll want to discuss that directly with your management company, as we are being commissioned to enforce their custom rules and regulations.Customer Answer
