NCP Notice

[englishmike]

Hi

 

I parked at a rail station, forgot to pay until 90 minutes after I parked and then paid by ringgo.

 

In the meantime I had got a ticket. I appealed, stating that I'd paid by ringgo.

 

NCP has now rejected my appeal.

 

I've read all of the threads and am considering ignoring this and everything else they (and any subsequent debt collectors / solicitors etc) send me because of the advice on this forum, but I wanted to get some reassurance that by appealing with the reason I gave I should still go down the ignoring route.

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

Mike

I'm confused now. I read this thread:

 

forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4623491

 

which suggests that the 'ignore' tactic is now out of date and recommends appealing instead. Thoughts?

Hover your mouse over the word ignore and read the info it gives out.

The parking company will always reject your appeal so that is not a matter to worry about. Your main problem is the T&C's of railways are enforceable under the Railways Act so you need to establish as to whether the car park is on railway property or not and how long you paid for, ie was it the whole day as a flat fee or a period of time such as 1 hour? If the former then appeal toPOPLA pointing out that you had paid the prescribed fee for the period you were parked there. If the latter you are unlikely to get anywhere appealing. If the land is NOT railway property then you can safely ignore any further letters, if it is then you can get done for a criminal trespass as NCP are authorised by the railway companies to act on their behalf but they will take up the cudgels if their revenue is threatened (cant run a railway but can fine you if the train you are on is so late that your ticket expires!) Sometimes the railway likes to claim that roads and car parks belong to them when they dont so do check properly.

If it is railway propertyand your POPLA appeal fails, look at their reasoning carefully and make your decision then.
