    Hello some advice please. I'm a Newbie

    we parked in a NCP car park next to an underground station and paid the charge of £5 on parking as required - 26/07/16 Today we have received a fine saying we left the car park without paying.
    The machine didn't issue a receipt and speaking to the lady behind us she said it doesn't issue receipts. Its done by your vehicle no.
    We hold a disabled badge but no exemptions in this car park so paid £5 requested.

    Please advise us what to do next.
    ps I tried to start a new thread but couldn't find where ???

    Thanks LL

    Please read the Newbies Sticky then start your own thread with the big blue "New Thread button" - You confirmed your understanding of board basics as part of your signup and hijacking an info thread will not get you the help you deserve.

    I (foolishly?) ignored a Parking Charge Notice from Euro Car Parks for £70. With hindsight, I should have appealed as per Martin's advise. Not only was signage very poorly lit on a dark winter evening, the charge of £70 is disproportionate to the overstay of 20 minutes. Notwithstanding this, I have now received communication from a Debt Recovery agency demanding £130. I have received no notice or warning that the amount would increase.


    What should I do?


    Many thanks

    Have just received a parking ticket from UKCPS in a retail shopping area. Have just registered with the mse board and noticed your comments over the last few years regarding the legality of these companies to post these tickets. I am a bit concerned as the ticket states don't ignore. Just where do I stand?

    My daughter(currently travelling round India till May) recently received a penalty fine from NCP at Wivenhoe Station which she uses regularly. One day in Dec 2016 she actually forgot to access her RingGo app and subsequently received her fine.
    She appealed through POPLA, and received all the relevant guilt bumf including Sht 3 of the RingGo printout indicating the date of the offence. She appealed again requesting consideration of the number of occasions she has parked there, as would have shown up on Shts 1 & 2.
    This was further rejected in a LAST REMINDER letter from NCP indicating that the fine was NOW £75, not £50
    2 Questions
    1 Do you consider it is fair that this appeal should have been rejected?
    and
    2 If so, and taking in account, that all appeals/email/correspondence were conducted within the timescale prescribe in the documentation, is it fair that the fine should increased?

    Regards
    Tony Troop
