Advice Please! NCP Parking Contravention Charge Notice, Ely Station Cambs
Comments
-
Any private parking charge falls into the same bracket. Whatever the circumstances, even if someone parked sideways in a parent & child bay for 3 days. This is NCP we are talking about, yes, not a Council ticket issued by NCL? A Parking Charge as opposed to a real PCN (Penalty Charge?).
Of course you just ignore the whole thing, this forum is clear with the advice and I have ignored a fake PCN like yours myself. Look at the current threads on the same forum you found this on, not just the comments on this random old thread:

All those you see near the top are new threads or posts today, every single day on this forum. All posters here with a fake PCN like yours are simply ignoring the PPC (private parking company). If your DD pays anything to the company she will have been had, and tell her not to think she can 'appeal' (as if!).
Please read first the sticky threads, 'welcome, please read before posting' and 'PPC letters/threats' at the top of the forum.
Watch the Watchdog video and look at the preview pictures of letters they will send the registered keeper. Panic ye not for the whole thing is a mail scam. Show your DD what you find, email her the Watchdog clip.
Finally, you actually posted on an old and long thread (not your fault but you may have missed the current forum and sticky advice threads?).
Quick forum use tip for forum novices:
When you find a random thread on any online forum, take a step back and look at the sub-forum, the board the thread sits on and read the info threads at the top which are called 'stickies' as they stick permanently at the top of the board like notices.
To do this, look at the top of this page for the blue link starting Home > Forums > and so on (it's in small writing, always written as a chain-link on any forum, always with > inbetween each step, and it ends with the name of this thread).
Hope that makes sense.
Now if you try clicking on the right-hand end of the breadcrumb trail link on a forum you can vew the current threads. Please read the stickies (info threads at the top that I mentioned) by clicking on the end of the Home > Forums > 'breadcrumb link' at the top.
My signature tells you what to click on to read the current forum, for future reference - in fact I have given you the link to it above this time.
HTHPRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Thank you, and for the advice on how to post a question properly.
Yes it is a Notice to keeper / driver from NCP. The same as the one shown on one of the stickies.
I shall just ignore it and tell my daughter not to let it worry her.
Many thanks again!0 -
NCP won't do anything but try to call your bluff. One of their supervisors once openly told me that they don't pursue their 'PCCN's because its such easy money and most folk just pay it.0
