“I paid by phone in Portsmouth Market Way car park have now been sent a fine. It's up to me to prove I paid which is a hassle and have to chase THEM if I haven't heard in 28 days - is this a scam ? Do they fine everyone?”

“NCP King Street Glasgow. Parked for 2 hours December 2018. Paid for parking before leaving. Didn’t get receipt. Got parking notice on February saying I hadn’t paid. Appealed decision. This was denied. I now need to pay £50 in 14 days or else £100. Feel bullied and frightened and intimidated. Feel like they are robbing me and there is nothing I can do. DO NOT USE THIS CAR PARK”

“18th December parked in the Brittania car park, Hinckley. Put 60p for an hour's parking it took my money but did not issue a ticket. Went to the other machine to see if that was working which wasn't as a lady complained that she too had lost her money. Then we receive a 100 pound penalty notice for not paying I appealed but have lost.We were in that car park for 20 minutes, 5 minutes of that was trying to get a ticket. If I pay early it will be 60 pounds. 60pounds and 60p parking for 20 minutes. What a rip off. I will never park in a box car park again.”

I always loved to park in Northampton St Peters Way place but not anymore and I will not recommend to anyone!!!!!”

“Me and my friend parked at NCP's SouthSide paring center in the evening on 22nd Jan 2019. We had some problem when paying and therefore called their helpline from the paying machine at 10:40pm ish. Their customer service gentleman hanged up on us while in the middle of the conversation without any warning. This is the first time I got hanged up on by a customer service. I really don't know why the gentleman can keep his job in customer service.”

“I parked at Sheffield Road Car Park in Manchester which was nearly full, initially I was pleased with the price £3-50 for 24 hours and then I realised why! On returning to my car the following morning only to find it had been damaged as some one had tried to break into it, making a large hole through the door just above the lock! on looking round the car park it seemed that ours hadn't been the only one to have been broken into as there were 3 piles of glass nearby. What a disappointing visit to Manchester, we won't be going back in a hurry.”

“I parked my car at NCP adams row mayfair London yesterday thinking it will be easier to get to winter wonderland hyde park and get out later in evening to travel back to Lincolnshire but unfortunately car has been broken in with smashed windows . Worst experience of my life. When I entered the car park at 8:00 PM thieves were still in car park and breaking into another car. There is CCTV at the entrance but it is dummy!!!! also no one at reception even when I parked in at 12:00 in the afternoon. I had to call police because there is no help. Luckily my children were not in the car park. The thieves ran away as I started to shout for help. When police arrived I was shocked to hear that it is quite common for this car park and yet no CCTV or any security. My whole family was shocked and shattered with this experience.”

“Having had a good experience when parking at Birmingham, I decided to try Gatwick. Absolutely terrible ! I booked Crawley which when we arrived was an unsecured multi storey park with no transfers. On arrival I immediately phoned and said I wanted a refund but no doing. They said it was only a ten minute taxi ride to he airport. I know it is partly my faul for not reading my booking but it was advertised as airport parking because that’s all I researched. Who on earth would leave a car here for two weeks and pay for taxis ? Luckily we w not straight to APH and got a space there. Will always use them now as they were superb. Bad form on NCP for fobbing this off as airport parking. Needless to say they are not interested.”

“Prepade for a week, no spaces on the second day. They then gave me a parking fine for using one of the 10 unused staff parking bays. I appealed, and still had to pay £85 and never even got to park for the duration of the week. Absolute con!”

“I parked on NCP car park London Mayfair. My car back window got smashed in, parcel shelf ripped out and all our belongings stolen! I believe it was the work staff working on site as they seen we had bags in the boot when we pulled up. Requested cctv and heard nothing! No security on site! NCP won’t do anything! Told by the hotel security ‘yeah, happens all the time here’. I have lost everything! Not only valuables eg laptop, but all my clothes, children’s toys, things of a lot of sentimental value! Please, pay a bit more and park somewhere safe! I have lost everything!”

“Complete con. Paid £5.50 for 4 hours parking. Came back to find a £100 fine for not parking between the lines. Only issue is that the markings are not at all clear! A quick Google search suggests that this is a very common occurance in this particular car park I'd avoid it like the plague”

“NCP operating cameras without planning permission in Crawley, West Sussex. It has been confirmed that NCP who manage Two car parks in Crawley, West Sussex being Cross Keys, and Crawley Boulevard East/West have Cameras installed without planning permission for nearly 1 year. This only came to light a few weeks ago and they have been reported to the ICO. The local MP is now involved. The DVLA, and BPA have been notified. NCP, it would appear are obtaining unauthorised keeper details from the DVLA who apparently knew nothing about this. However NCP whilst being investigated are still obtaining information from the DVLA and the BPA who are based near Horsham, who have confirmed NCP their client have been using these cameras without planning permission. NCP have now put in for retrospective planning permission. It appears that NCP are treading a fine line and fraud maybe something that will need to be investigated. If you are a resident in Crawley, West Sussex and have received an alleged invoice from NCP, advice from the planning authority is that it is not valid. More on this soon.”

“Booked to park in Newcastle Carliol Square only to find a shambolic piece of spare land - not a smooth surface, dangerous local roads and pavements - and NOT what you would expect to see by looking st the advertisement or this facility. Very unsatisfactory and follow up customer service was offensive. No more NCP car parks for me or all of my family.”

“Parked at Gloucester Blackfriars car park, put the £2.50 for 1 hour parking in to the machine which failed to issue a ticket as I had entered my car reg I thought I would be ok, next I go a £60 fine which I appealed. I was sent an email to say that I had failed on my appeal as their machines were working, believe this to be a standard response, I'm now of the opinion this is their way of making extra revenue so never again will I use their over priced run down car parks,”
