  • That ticket machine is a scamming device. There has been several complaints about NCP Wyle Cop on other websites, including from elderly shoppers. I heard that it has recently been stuck up with superglue. While I wouldn't condone this action. I expect NCP will get the message once they start to lose revenue and have to send out repair staff.

    Very old thread, but NCP won’t lose revenue, they’ll profit, because anyone who doesn’t (can’t) buy a ticket yet doesn’t immediately leave the car park, will get a £100 charge through the post.

    Lose £1.50, get £100 instead. Kerching!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Did you mean to post on a different thread? This case was won by the OP and no-one (except you ....... and now me) has posted on this thread since August.

    I hate that car park anyway. It's not that good getting out of it. St Julian's Friars is much better.
