NCP online not allowing payment or appeal
I have just attempted to enter the details for the parking charge I received yesterday in order to appeal (but would also be the same if I were trying to pay as it's the initial details stage) but I just get this (screenshot attached).

Are Parking Companies Committing Fraud?
Hi, I'm quite confused by the "double dipping" phenomenon. My car is a victim of it currently, being pursued by UKPA. "Double dipping" seems to have been a recognised problem for over a decade now so presumably all experienced car park operators using ANPR must be aware of it. Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006 states that if…

Dear experts, I have the below. I never got anything on this until DCBL wrote to me out of the blue a few months back. I read up on DCB Ltd and therefore didn't do anything other than email them and Smart Parking to ask for proof and evidence of the carpark over-stay. My issue with this is the parking fine is from Jan 24,…
