Takes an age to download and set up the app, which is by far the most complicated of all parking apps, only to wait another age for it to attempt to verify your card. You must either choose to wither and die there, or pay the extortionate extra amount for paying by card. Avoid at all costs

Every time the chat function is busy someone eventually replies hours later to which they just tell you to call the number... Which funnily always starts at number 36 in the queue... 40 minutes later only down to number 18. How can it be that busy every single time you call. Considering what you charge for parking your customer service is shockingly bad. You should have a pay now function on your website why do I have to call to carry out this task.

App is useless. Logged in with correct details and got into endless loop being asked to log in again. Tried to reset to new password but got the same situation. This company seems to despise its customers.

Do not use their pay later function. You need to use a computer to achieve it - so if you can’t get to a computer within 24 hours, you’re fined. They are doing this to increase the amount they can charge by using fines as additional parking payment.

We are currently trying to appeal our “parking fine” from Australia. We parked in the NCP at Gloucester. After driving around the car park for awhile we finally got a park. I went over to the ticket machine which was broken. I went to the other machine which had a big queue. Everyone in line was struggling with the machine and took ages to get a ticket. As I got closer in the queue I realised that you needed your registration number- as we had a hire car I didn’t know it. I went back to my husband who was waiting at the car. We decided to leave we didn’t want to go back to the end of the queue again. We had been there for 15 minutes. When we returned home we noticed the car hire company had debited our credit card( £60 for fine and £40 care rental admin fee)! We have sent multiple emails to NCP and it’s still “under review”, the online chat never works and when we tried to call we were put on hold forever and it was going to cost a fortune from Australia. So if you read this NCP, we would appreciate a favourable response. Not happy. Fiona Australia.😡

Incompetent. App doesn’t work. Pay later doesn’t work. Embarrassing and useless. Will park elsewhere

Can’t ever get a chat reply. All I get is that they are busy. Considering the charges for parking I consider it a disgraceful service in a first world country

NCP trying to open an account has tiny print needs magnifying glass , the password requires non alphanumerical digit but its hidden in the small print but nevertheless accepts it without it then allows you to carry on completing the whole app and then later when you go to use it and log in it says email and password incorrect then when you try to change it and the app says the email confirmation code isnt correct … gave up in the end !

ZERO STARS App doesn't work properly, zero customer service - no one answers phone and chat facility is useless, even the links it sends you to don't work! Left car park over 19 hours ago and session still open 🤷🏽‍♀️

I parked in a disabled bay in a motobility car with my blue badge clearly displayed. I then received a £100 fine. I took it to an appeal and it took ages. I still had to pay that fine. Their customer service line is a joke. I rang many times and no one picked up the call. I tested it out one day and let it ring until someone did answer. I let it ring for 5 hours 43 minutes 8 seconds. I only hung up after that long as I had a visitor. Absolutely appalling. I then emailed them to inform them that I was taking legal action and would take action to recover all monies that I'd have to spend doing so. It was only then I finally had a reply. I still had to pay that fine.

The app doesn't work. I tried to register but got nowhere. Don't bother. Just use another car park. No wonder the review scores are so low.

Big fines for regular customers is not an ok practice for any business. How do they justify this? Greedy and disrespectful to loyal customers

Been trying to argue my fine with ncp for over a year now this is a disgrace how can sell your debt on I’m a taxi driver and make regular trip to Gatwick I have registered my vehicle on auto pay and they missed it some how couple of times and as I didn’t respond I’m time they have sold my charge on to a debt company. The whole purpose of registering my vehicle is so I don’t forget as I do so many trips to and from Gatwick so I’m not at fault similar thing happened with Heathrow too but they cancelled my charge and only paid £5 drop off charge I pay thousands in these drop of charges per year shame on them for treating customers like this

Just been fined £60 for a two minute over stay. Took longer than 2 minutes to get out of the car park. I thought the legal requirement was a 10 minute grace period. Why would they act illegally? How many times is this happening across the country?

No stars, totally useless app /phone number. Customer service non existent. I think it’s designed to make people unable to pay on time so they can send you a PCN. How a big company can be so bad is unbelievable.

Pay later option advertised in car park - attempted to pay later online but the option doesn’t work on mobiles! I have no other option within the 24 hour limit. Advertising didn’t state any restrictions on devices. Trying to contact NCP, no answer. Ridiculous.

Unable to pay with the “pay later” option ! A total disgrace !! Why have they made it so difficult ? I will definitely look for alternative car parks in future.
