    But it's not ncp itself but nsl the company spun off from them. Still it makes you wonder how widespread this kind of thing is
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    If the CEO gets any thicker he should consider starting his own PPC. We have proof you don't need to be very bright..... (oink oink).
    'Parking tickets' issued by Private Parking Companies are not 'parking tickets' at all. They are unenforceable invoices as stated by MSE head Martin Lewis recently on TV.
    My family and friends now know what's going on in private car parks and motorway services areas. :T

    When I saw "CEO" I thought it was the head of the company, and I wondered why he/she would take a £20 bribe!

    Presumably £20 wouldn't be enough for the chief exec.......
