We used the NCP car park in Little Berrington Street, Hereford, one evening. The car park is not particularly well lit and it was dark. We went to the machine and inserted coins to cover the period of parking and the vehicle reg. Imagine my amazement when I received a £100 parking fine. I disputed this. NCP replied advising that the facility to pay by cash has been withdrawn. We did not see any signage to indicate this, and the machine swallowed the money. I was offered a reduction in the fee, 'as a gesture of goodwill', which meant the fine was £20. There was no offer to refund the parking fee which had been paid. I was still unhappy. You are able to dispute this via an appeal process, with POPLA, but if you do and lose then you have to pay the full £100 fine. Basically this is like blackmail and they have you over a barrel. As a country we have the Ombudsman Services to report such happenings, but NCP also advise you that they do not participate in this service you have to use POPLA. This again is wrong, the Ombudesman is an indpendant appeal system, what right have they to tell you that you can not use it. I know due to Covid some parking machines are only taking cards, but some do still take cash. This is usually detailed clearly on the machine, since they didn't state this and the machine took the cash how can I be in the wrong?? I was able to send one appeal, when they came back and said that the machine was card only, I could not go back and further appeal giving more relevant facts, that I did not realise were crutial when I sent the original appeal, I was just saying at that stage that the parking charge had been paid. It is a complete con.

Parked in Adam Street Car Park in Cardiff. I have received FOUR Parking Charge Notices for four different days in Sept.2020. On each occasion I had paid for a ticket and left the car park based on NCP's photographic evidence before the ticket ran out. What is NCP playing at? This needs investigation especially if it is being repeated? I am having to appeal each and every case.

2 penalty notices from this car park, 1 month apart. I have proof I paid for both. First excuse was faulty machines. Why haven’t they been fixed? They charge huge amounts to park here so it can’t be lack of funding! And the amount of penalty notices they send out is probably making them a fortune. Absolutely disgusted by this company

Parked in Cardiff Adam Street car park on Sept 26, paid £8.00 and left before time ran out. Just received penalty charge! is this just a scam carried out by NCP? or are they really this incompetent. How many customers would just pay up if they had lost the ticket.

...Nothing at all to state ‘pay in advance’ ie before leaving the car park on foot!...so returned to car park to pay 6 hrs later prior to leaving...on screen stated £6.50 (funny...thought we owed £32?!...yes readers it is alot of money, nothing between 3hrs @£22 and 24hrs @£32!!) there’s your 1st rip-off...had it not been for quick thinking after a long day too, we would have been badly stung later on oh yes!! ...clever ploy that, let them think they’ve got away or perhaps try to get away with £6.50...GOT THE T-SHIRT...coughed up £32 right there with the customer service guy on hold...how come they can get away with bad signage and over-pricing? Cos over the yrs they've scammed so many they can afford to buy expensive plots and do it over and over again...not worth complaining wasting your breath...just check the small print every time I guess 🧐🧐🧐🧐

I parked at St James street Nottingham and my car got broken into and most belongings taken. They are supposed to be a secure car park. I called NCP customer services to ask what my options are and they hung up on me. I still had to pay for parking even though my car was broken into. This company is a scam. So sad they are allowed to operate.

If I could give this Shameful company 0 stars I would.They are absolute scum sucking parasites.They tried giving me a pcn for non payment when I had the receipt for paying.They cancelled the pcn after I appealed but sent an abysmal e mail saying payment machine at fault.If you use these cowboys keep your ticket,they will try and scam you.

AVIOD. Parked at Finsbury Park car park which is supposed to be ‘secure’ our car got broken into and all belongs stolen, we got charged £55 for parking and when reporting the crime the person was very unhelpful and seemed nervous to speak. According to other reviews this is a common occurrence.

I ended up pay a penalty because the app system did not work!! I had all my personal and bank details in the app, and the day that I parked I asked to the maintenance guy about how I have to scan it as there is no barrier in this car park ... He said that is I have installed the App I should not have any problem. The day before I have paid in the Brighton NCP using the App and it worked very well.

One Sunday I was parked on the road near Norwich Bowls Club. Using my Blue Badge I parked on the road Double Yellows which I'm aloud. Received a fine of £100 or £60 if paid in two weeks. !

Absolutely awful customer service! Genuinely lost a ticket and was parked for around 4 hours. Charged a full days rate of £30 when the car park even states that they use an anpr cctv system for registration recognition so the times could have been checked and we could have been charged the correct amount! WE WILL NEVER USE AN NCP CAR PARK AGAIN.

Paid for parking in Shrewsbury. One month later get demand for £60. No chance on appeal demanding proof I paid. Appeal pointless.

This company scams you terribly. Beware of this company. Then they quickly use debt collectors such as TRACE.

The online booking system works well, but what an unfair, unethical, over time charging system. I booked your car park opposite the Barbican from 4:30 PM until 10 PM for a charge of £10 - fairly decent all things considered. I overran by 15 minutes, and attempting to exit the car park at 10:15 PM, 10 minutes of which were spent loading my wheelchair into my vehicle. The extra charge was £7 for 15 minutes. The attitude clearly is that you are in our car park, you are our 'prisoner' and we can charge what we like to release you, just because we can. Absolutely disgusting.

Gentlemens, this parking lot was organized by crooks and swindlers whose purpose is not to provide quality services but to profit from fines imposed in an honest way, do not park your car in NCP parking lots !!!
