NCP PARKING CHARGE NOTICE Without the Remittance Slip

[boyatthebck]

I've received a Parking Charge Notice from NCP. The details on the ticket are correct, but the 2nd page, the remittance slip with "important information and payment instructions" was not included.

Does this make the ticket void? After all, how do I pay or appeal to?

Many thanks!

Please note, I appreciate the legal difference between a PCN and a Parking Charge Notice (coincidence they both start with the same letters, eh?) and I have successfully appealed against many a London borough's PCN, but this is my first NCP ticket, and given that it's been executed incorrectly, I just want to know the facts/others' similar experiences.

Noted the small print of your posting. You therefore appreciate that NCPs ticket is in respect of an implied contract rather than anything to do with statute [Parking Charge Notice as opposed to Penalty Charge Notice].

Given this fundamental difference, there are no technical niceties to make the ticket void. It is just an invoice. If the date is wrong on an invoice, or it says "red sofa" instead of "green sofa", it's just a mistake. Once pointed out, the mistake can be rectified and the invoice reissued.

If this really is NCP acting on their own, as opposed to the agency work they do for some councils, I certainlt wouldn't bother appealling - they have no right to fine you in the first place.
