NCP app defaulted to a previous used car.

Had a terrible time as I put my car registration into app and received a qr code which I used at barrier. When parked I noticed the app had defaulted to a hire car I had used previously. I’m stuck in car park with wrong reg. My daughter noticed a button on payment machine. We pressed it and got through to Hannah . We couldn’t hear her voice on payment machine because of car noise. So Hannah rang us and managed to solve the problem. Hannah did a brilliant job and saved a horrendous experience.Thank very much Hannah.5 stars.

Stayed for one hour

Stayed for one hour, and halfway through entering my details, was prompted for payment. Took my £1 payment for the hour. Later found out it was jumped up to £6 in error. Chatted to an NCP advisor online and sorted out swiftly. Downloaded the NPC app so will be using that to pay next time.

Should be pay when you leave

Got back to my car late and was fined. To be honest I prefer the 'pay when you leave' carparks as you wont get stitched up like that. Thankfully I've boycotted NCP since and saved more than the fine. I'll always avoid NCP whenever possible and really glad to hear they went into administration. I laughed so hard.

Only interested in money not customer satisfaction

I have been left with a season ticket that I cannot use for a car park no longer owned by NCP. The new owners customer service is not fit for purpose and despite emails sent to NCP and chats in their app I am still out of pocket almost a month later. To add insult to injury they have sent me an invoice to renew my season ticket for a car park they no longer own and chased me for payment.
I have only had 1 months use of a quarterly season ticket and am out of pocket for having to pay to park elsewhere.

Update:5th September
Still waiting on a response after the email I was advised to send back NCP.
See their below response.
Still not able to use my season ticket and further out of pocket for parking charges elsewhere.

Warning others - break in and theft x2

Warning others

⚠️ Be very careful parking here.

Our car was broken into while parked at this NCP car park. The vehicle was damaged and belongings were stolen from inside, including brand-new items. It’s been an absolutely horrible experience to deal with.

What’s even more concerning is that since this happened, I’ve spoken to other people and heard that car break-ins at this car park appear to be a recurring issue. If I’d known how common this apparently was beforehand, I definitely would have thought twice about leaving the car here.

I’m posting this simply to warn other people. Don’t assume your car or belongings are safe just because you’re parked in an NCP car park. Take extra precautions and avoid leaving anything valuable inside.
