NCP "Pay Later" appears on website for car park but not available in reality - I now have Penalty

However you proceed - and I strongly advise you follow the old hands' advice which they have repeated here - there's another typo:
'I made every possible effort to pay for may parking'

Overthinking is a natural hazard with all of this, as is wretched autocorrect.
Avoid both.

I get it but I contacted NCP giving all my details when I tried to make my payment.
This was well before the PCN was issued. So the first option is not open to me.

We know. We aren't telling you to use no keeper liability because you can't.

Some good news today!

"Dear Mr XXXX,

The operator has contacted us and told us that they have withdrawn your appeal.

If you have already paid your parking charge, this is the reason your appeal will have been withdrawn. Unfortunately, you cannot pay your parking charge and appeal, which means that POPLA’s involvement in your appeal has ended. You will not be able to request a refund of the amount paid in order to resubmit your appeal to us.

If you have not paid your parking charge, the operator has reviewed your appeal and chosen to cancel the parking charge. As the operator has withdrawn your appeal, POPLA’s involvement has now ended and you do not need to take any further action.

Kind regards

POPLA Team"

Obviously I didn't pay a parking charge, so NCP have backed-down rather than set a precedent.

It wouldn't have set a precedent but that's very good news! 

Stick around for the DLUHC's announcement this month and their Draft Impact Assessment.  We need you to respond to the Public Consultation with us!
