    Which bit about this advice did you miss? It's all you need to write and this will disappear:
    Dear NCP,

    As the Registered Keeper (RK) of vehicle registration AB12CDE I am writing to advise you that you need to pursue the driver and I am under no obligation to let you know who that was on the day concerned. You know perfectly well that Gatwick Airport Drop-Off Zone is not relevant land for the purposes of PoFA 2012 and therefore you cannot hold me, as the RK liable for your charge.

    Please cancel this PCN and save us both time and money or issue me with a POPLA code where it will be quashed.

    NCP though, not NPC!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The discount is the "mugs discount"

  • Are NCP no longer setting the discount at £15?

    sadly not... as of July 2024, the Gatwick NCP drop off zone discount price is now £60
    (don't ask me how I know 
    🙈) for unloading 2 people and 2 cases.

    I would usually challenge, was a genuine mistake that I only realised after 10days when I was picking wifey back up.
    Just didn't have the fight in me at the time to challenge 
    😩

    Not sure which was the bigger mistake, paying up or posting on here that you've paid up 😳

    We do already know that this changed last year - but nobody pays!  Eek. Would have been a cinch to win at POPLA. No fight.
