“Absolute con. Have been paying on the machine in Shenfield Station, never gives a receipt but says 'payment successful'. Did not check my bank, why would I (although I do now and screen shot). I started receiving tickets in November going back to August. Appealed them due to length of time and NCP stated 'they can do what they want!'. Done an online chat on 12th Dec and told there were only 4 PCNs. I have now received about 20 predating this chat and when I checked none of the payments have come out of my bank. I now screen shot the payment or pay online (which does seem to work). Have appealed and they have refused the appeals and I reckon by the time this has finished I will have over £3,000 in fines. NCP wont check the machine and wont help. I cannot afford to pay these fines and in good faith I thought I had paid. You cannot take to ombudsman as if you do this to POPLA you have to either risk a £100 fine and if you have already paid you cannot appeal. One of the fines was for a partial payment, which you cannot even do as it tells you what to pay! So disgusted”

“If you are looking for the most rubbish carpark and customer service, you have to go with ncp. Messing up the prices at free will, customer service not able to speak, read or solve any issues this ncp provide. Too expensive to be worth it, too bad to be worth it.”

“Bloomsbury Square NCP is advertised as secure and manned. It is neither of these. My car along with several others had been broken into, nobody on site to discuss this with so I called the national number as I was coming to the end of my prepaid time. I was told very bluntly to get my car out or pay extra, will never use this company again.”

“This is the absolute worst company I have ever had to deal with! They charged my account £152 instead of £8 parking, and despite ringing over 15 times, emailing and filling in forms on their website, they still haven’t returned the money they have stolen from me! 3 advisors have lied saying the money will be in my account this week….. no surprise that it is not! Absolute shambles! Do not use!”

“I doubt NCP pay any attention to these reviews, but I will add my experience nonetheless...... I added a saverID to my account prior to parking as per instructions, but then got charged full price anyway. Tried ringing customer support, on hold for an hour before giving up, tried help centre, no response, used web chat, you guessed it.....”

“Appeals process is a joke. This bunch of horse thieves are trying to charge me £510 for 3 tickets. I was probably there for 20 minutes on each occasion. I have an elderly relative who had a fall , and had to pick up meds from Boots at Corby Town centre. As usual the keyboard would not work, the keyboard itself covered with all sorts of dirt, (An excellent way of spreading COVID-19) I appealed two of these fines, only had a response back for one, and the third one has recently been added, despite me refusing to use NCP any more. I feel that this company is opportunistic. I am more than happy to pay the flat rate, but as I have told their legal council on the phone, I am not paying this extortionate fine. Come and arrest me and we will get the media involved. Looking at you web site I am not the only one p!55ed off with NCP!”

“DO PARK AT RICHMOND STATION NCP in LONDON, no staff to help only call button on exit. People are unable to park up as full, after 20 mins of going round and round, unable to park then gave up, they went to the barrier, they refused to let anyone out unless they paid, even though they did not PARK UP. Therefore caused a back log of traffic backing up to level one. People refused to pay , but then had no choice and was FORCED TO PAY This is disgusting, the barriers should have been put up for them, they say registration is taken going in , so they can see people did not PARK UP, was here so called cameras watching, I don't think so. They should have let them let out , instead we had to suffer and be late for our events .”

“I booked one of the NCP car parks in Birmingham so I could watch the Commonwealth Games. The day of my event was on the same day as the marathon so I used the chat service to ensure that the car park would be open at this time as the Commonwealth Games website warned about road closures etc. I was reassured that the car park would be open and available so I went ahead and booked it. After a long drive I arrived at the car park to find that the road and car park had been closed due to the marathon. I drove around Birmingham and finally found an alternative parking space but the whole ordeal was incredibly stressful and avoidable if they had communicated with me properly. I the submitted a refund form to which I had a response asking for proof of payment etc., I responded to straight away and I am still waiting for my refund 37 days later! I am extremely disappointed that it is taking this long to process a justified refund, and I will be chasing them up until I get my money back.”

“NCP Northampton - and all numerous machines out of order. My wife attempted to pay via the NCP app and it took her to a fraudulent website which then scammed our credit card account for £50.00. Fraud department of bank thankfully flagged it up and closed the card. Everyone we saw on the Northampton Car Park was totally exasperated with trying to make payment. Strikes me NCP are crooks.”

“NCP operate the new drop-off parking at Gatwick. They charged me twice on the way in to the airport, and their system for a refund is not user-friendly. On the way, I decided not to pay, as I had already paid twice and showed them the evidence. They would not accept this and changed me a penalty notice. Money, money money, that is all they want. I now know how little they care about their reputation- £15 is what it cost to price their integrity- or lack of it. Avoid using this company.”

“I dropped someone off at the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport and eventually managed to get onto the NCP website to provide my credit card details to enable NCP to take a payment of £5.00. The money wasn’t taken off my card and as a consequence BW Legal are chasing me for payment of £170.00. I'll avoid all NCP car parks in the future and won't be paying the £170.”

“We parked at Birmingham airport car park terminal 5 whilst on holiday. On driving home we could hear a noise under our Vw transporter. When we got home and checked the brand new spare wheel had been stolen from underneath. The perpetrator had even gone to the trouble of loosely putting the bracket back on so we didn’t notice immediately. As they offer safe secure parking I notified them the day after giving our parking zone to see if they could check cameras. Weeks have now passed by and lots of emails to them but they just ignore. I wouldn’t park here again or recommend. Can’t believe such lack of customer care. Not cheap to park here either!!!”

“NCP issued me a PCN on 14/5/2019 despite payment being made and me sending them proof in the form of a bank statement. Upon investigation I had inadvertently mistyped a digit in my car registration number and therefore as there was a breach in their Terms and Conditions they sent me a PCN. NCP and their Legal Reprensentatives BWD Legal have made my life hell over the last 3 years, ramping up the costs, phoning me constantly and using scare / harassment tactics and threatening we with Court Action. Well today was my day in court and despite their Solicitor quoting copious case law, which you will also find they do in the correspondence they issue to you, I defended myself successfully and the case re my alleged non payment was dismissed. I'm so relieved but if you have a case like mine whereby you mistyped your registration plate number and they are demanding a PCN payment and threatening you with legal action, you may choose to defend but it has taken its toll on my health in 3 years in attempting to prove I did make payment. For more details see G1DP1C9G NCP v Musson in the Bristol Court.”

“My husband has just received a fine for £60 for waiting in an area at Chelmsford Railway station for 7 minutes to pick me up from a train. That's ove £8 an hour. He has picked me up from there in the past without being fined abs the sign they said was clearly displayed he did not see as he didn't get out of the car. Skinflints!!”
