NCP Parking Contravention Notice

[GTOWNSEND]

Hi All,

 

Today I parked in an NCP car park, paid and displayed my £2 ticket but on my return found the attached on my windscreen. Apparently I was parked in a permit holders place although I would have needed binoculars to have seen the sign. I've read various other postings about not paying them as they cannot enforce it but I thought I would attach the ticket to see what everyone thought.

 

I think it's outrageous they can demand £50 from you. The car park wasn't even half full!

 

Many thanks for your help.

Apologies, the thumbnail image seems to be a lot smaller than in paint! It's headed Parking Contravention Charge Notice.

Ignore it. You have already paid your money to park - And that would be the maximum amount that they might be able to claim from you.

 

They may send letters / threats. Ignore those too.

[JimmySpangle]

As above completely ignore it. Ignore all their nonsense letters too. It is NOT a parking ticket, just a request for money. So you can legally ignore them.

Ignore. Expect letters from NCP, Roxburge and two from Graham White. Then they go away

[GTOWNSEND]

Many thanks for your replies. Christmas is back on then!

 

I don't know how they can get away with this. What if I was 70 on a state pension? They have no morals.

 

Thanks,

G

Morals???? A PPC and Morals in the same sentence?????? Now THAT has made me laugh!

Hi - I got one yesterday from NCP stating "Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay space". Problem is I didn't see the notice until I was halfway across the car park so I couldn't take a pic for evidence.

It's £50 - which we can't afford before Xmas - do you good folks have any advice.

About as enforceable for a 'contravention' for having a bit of a funny walk.

 

Ignore and look out for the usual chain letters from Roxburge and Graham White.

[mcmatty]

fair enough - so I have been doing some reading on the forumes and am confused about the Railway Bye-laws section. Can NCP take this further under Railway bye-laws 14?

[Al27]

No because they have not given you a breach of byelaws penalty charge. They've given you an invoice with some photocopied legalise on the back.

There is no truth in the rumour that All Uk PPCs are sponsored by ANDREX.

Thanks for that. To be honest I was hopping mad last night - it's the last thing you need after a 12 hour day with a 3 hour drive ahead of you and then to find some officious little pxxck has tried to enhance his minimum wage with some commission for slapping a ticket on your car 'cos it's not parked at right-angles to a white line (which is too close to the next one so you can never get the freakin doors open to get back in) then trying to figure out (breathe) if this constitutes an obstruction under rail laws I mean please do they really thing that a car in a car park is gonna stop the Metropolitan line from running "Ladies and gentlemen there are currently severe delays on the Metropolitan line because someone has parked at an angle in Ruislip?"

This comes the day after a £25 unauthorsied HSBC charge cos we went OD for one day.

I am sick to death of being scammed by everyone in this country - most of us a trying to do an honest day's work and get to the weekend and what do we have to put up with? Officialdom in its many guises trying to fine us for either getting to work too quick, not parking right at work, smoking, drinking, in any way having fun - and oh by the way if you have had enough of being taxed on the tax you paid on your fuel and try to save money - no that doesn't work 'cos the banks lost it all!!!
