Daughter of friend recieved NCP private parking invoice which was affixed to her windscreen in a yellow envelope with black check border bearing the words "FIXED PENALTY NOTICE" !!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
Can anyone tell me exactly how NCP are allowed to get away with this blatant misrepresentation of statute authority .
As I understand it only The Police can issue an FPN ..so why do they allow NCP to commit this fraud ???? Hardly a "civil matter" far more likely to be a criminal one surely ?? :mad:

I doubt they allow it, more likely they have not heard off it, yet.Daughter of friend recieved NCP private parking invoice which was affixed to her windscreen in a yellow envelope with black check border bearing the words "FIXED PENALTY NOTICE" !!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Complain like mad, even (don't laugh) to the BPA.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -

No def private,"appeal" to NCP and payment to NCP ANDt the actual "ticket" is a standard NCP PCCN "-Parking Contravention Charge Notice" ...even says in the small print that it is issued for Breach of Contract.0 -
No doubt it would be an admin mistake, and we can rest assured they were not attempting to gain from it!!:p0

Nobody in authority really cares what they do, it is quickly becoming known that private parking tickets are a very good get rich quick scheme and where you get large amounts of cash slopping around left right and centre who is going to rock that boat when there is a chance you could get your nose in the trough and pocket a few quid as well.
The list of those waiting to cash in grows every day, the list of businesses trying to scam a few quid from customers grows every day, hey even ASDA do it ! they scam their own CUSTOMERS and if they can get away with it who is going to miss that opportunity, it a fill your boots scam !!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
