Pay an Excess Charge Notice (ECN) or Fixed Daily Charge Notice (FDC)
ECNs and FDCs are issued by National Car Parks (NCP) on our behalf. They are issued to:
- Vehicles parked within the Durham City Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) who have committed a parking contravention in either an on-street pay and display bay or £30 fixed daily charge area.
- The registered keeper of a vehicle who exits the Durham Road User Charge Zone during its hours of operation, but fails to pay the £2.00 charge either on exit or to the Parking Shop before 6.00pm on the day of use.
If you believe your ECN or FDC was issued incorrectly, you can make a representation.
NCP can not issue notices for any other parking contravention. If you have received a notice other than an ECN or FDC you should contact Durham Constabulary on 0845 6060365.
How to Pay
There are a number of ways to pay your ECN or FDC:- By telephone - make a payment by debit / credit card over the telephone.
- In person - pay by cash, cheque, debit / credit card. Please do not send cash through the post.
- By post - send a cheque / postal order in the post made payable to 'NCP Services'. A 50% discount is available on ECNs when payment is received within 14 days of issue.
