Very positive response from NCP regarding an ‘open session’ payment I hadn’t realised I’d booked using their payment app at a barrierless car park. Prompt response with a full refund, thanks NCP.

Addenbrookes visit NCP you money grabbers

Addenbrookes visit. My partners mother was rushed to A and E by ambulance. I was told by nursing staff that because she was admitted I could get a discount. I spoke to the bearded young man at the hospital who was very rude, actually came out and read the instructions to me word for word as if reading a book to a 5 year old. All I was asking for was information about obtaining a discount as it seemed if you were visiting a patient you could apply for this. To cut a story short, when my partners mother was discharged, I picked her up from the discharge unit. The staff there said that if I take the discharge letter and show them I wouldn't have to pay.... Anyway, when I got there i had the same bearded guy at the customer service window who said there was no such thing as free discharge and I had to pay as she smiled! Since then NCP customer service have put every obstacle in my way to resolve this.

We mistakenly booked a car parking place at Crewe train station with Ringo. When we arrived we took the ticket from the barrier and parked. We took our granddaughter to the platform for her train and waved her off

We got back in the car and put the ticket in the machine to leave,but it swallowed the ticket and we were stuck inside the car park. We finally managed to speak to someone who understood our problem andit was sorted thanks to Eric. He realised the situation and after a few minutes, we made our escape from the car park, so a big thank you to Eric for his understanding and his knowledge on how to get us moving again. Thanks a lot.

Helped by Hannah

I was helped by Hannah today from customer services as I paid for my parking at the wrong location. Hannah was brilliant in assisting me and ensuring I wouldn't get additional charges. After an extremely stressful and overwhelming situation I was completely reassured by hannah to which I am extremely grateful

I forgot that I needed to use a QR Code to enter the car park - thought it would be reg recognition - so had to buy a ticket as well as prepaid. Sam at NCP customer service was helpful, he understood my problem and he refunded me quickly, so all good.

Beware!

Having used NCP facilities for many years with no incident, but faced with their bullying and intimidation, its a whole different story. They fail to have their machines (on this incident, 3 machines in 1 car park!) functioning all in an effort frustrate customers and then issue the usual medieval landowner style threats.
Thought that was bad, then comes the appeals, 'the Computer says NO', matter closed then the dogs are set loose with no explanation.
Then they block emails (evidence saved for the courts).
Beware

QR code problem

Customer services came through quite quickly even though I started at no. 8. I was unable to print the car park QR code directly from the email, but Sam sent me another email with the QR code in a .pdf file. Otherwise my pre-booking would have been useless and I would have had to buy another ticket at the barrier.

Had the most awful customer service experience from NCP. They provided my apartment building a discount code for the car park next door however ended the code with zero explanation. Then when I tried contacting them to see if there was a replacement code Zion was so rude and unhelpful. Am now parking elsewhere in the city as refuse to spend my money after service like this
