  • Umkomaas thank you. Will it be a problem that the same vehicle is coming to pick up some people like a week later? As the reg would come up again.

    No.

    But surely picking up passengers isn't allowed at the drop off.

    Look online first and plan the journey so it is free or cheap pick up in the right place.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Ignore about 5 DRA letters
    Next time use standard text that wins everytime
    So it's just a waiting and patience game from now on, until they give up pretty much? If that is what you are saying. Thanks

    Thank you for this thread! I received a PC to Keeper notice yesterday from Gatwick NCP. Resigned myself to paying it, I completely forgot to pay that night it was late. However, I felt it was extortionate. I was stopped for 2 mins 1 second- even the £7 felt excessive.

    I found this thread and so I have done the following;

    I contacted NCP via their webform under ‘other’ as I was unclear if by appealing by the route NCP suggest whether appellant could be suggestive of driver details and they were mandatory fields. 

    I copied and pasted the text from p1 here as I was within the appeal time. 

    I will update when I receive a reply. 

    Genuine thanks to those who started this thread. I’m hopeful but regardless of outcome I feel I’ve done something to push back these unscrupulous practices and charges.
