About Nottingham City Council

Nottingham City Council is the unitary local authority that governs the city of Nottingham in England. It oversees a wide range of public services including council tax collection, business rates, waste and recycling, parking and transport enforcement, local housing services, planning and licensing, and various community and environmental services. In banking records, abbreviations like “NCC CARD PAYMENT INTER/WEBSI/TELEP” appear in UK public-sector transaction logs where the merchant location is given as Nottingham and the merchant category is “Statutory Bodies” or “Government services,” strongly indicating these are card payments to Nottingham City Council.([darlington.gov.uk](https://www.darlington.gov.uk/media/fcqdyc1g/spend-card-may-2019.pdf?utm_source=openai))

A charge showing as “NCC CARD PAYMENT TELEP” on a card or bank statement usually represents a card transaction processed via Nottingham City Council’s telephone payment system. This may be for council tax, business rates, parking penalties, licensing fees, waste disposal, or other local authority charges. Similar descriptors like “NCC CARD PAYMENT INTER” or “NCC CARD PAYMENT WEBSI” are used for internet or website card payments to the council and show up in multiple UK local-government procurement and expense reports with small amounts (often around £10–£15) coded as government services.([leicestershire.gov.uk](https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/sites/default/files/field/pdf/2021/2/4/Procurement-card-statement-ending-17-August-2020.pdf?utm_source=openai))

If you do not recognize this charge, first think about any recent dealings you may have had with Nottingham City Council, such as paying council tax, a parking or bus-lane penalty, a licensing or permit fee, or arranging waste disposal. Check any confirmation emails, letters, or penalty notices you received from the council for matching dates and amounts; most will reference the payment channel (phone, web, or in-person). If you still have questions, contact Nottingham City Council directly using the phone numbers or contact forms on their official website, quoting the date and amount of the transaction so they can look it up. If they cannot locate the payment and you suspect fraud, then raise a dispute with your card issuer, but only after confirming with the council to avoid reversing a legitimate statutory payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the “NCC CARD PAYMENT TELEP” charge on my statement mean?

This descriptor typically indicates a card payment made to Nottingham City Council using their telephone payment system. It may relate to council tax, parking or traffic penalties, licensing, waste disposal, or other local authority fees recorded as a telephone card transaction.

Why is my Nottingham City Council payment showing as a small amount like £10–£15 with “NCC CARD PAYMENT” in the description?

In many published UK procurement and expense statements, “NCC Card Payment” entries for Nottingham appear as relatively small sums (often around £10–£15) coded as government services. These amounts often relate to specific charges such as permit fees, small penalties, or service-related payments rather than large annual bills.([leicestershire.gov.uk](https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/sites/default/files/field/pdf/2021/2/4/Procurement-card-statement-ending-17-August-2020.pdf?utm_source=openai))

Could this NCC card payment be for council tax or a parking fine I paid recently?

Yes. Council tax instalments, parking or bus-lane penalties, and other local charges can all be paid by card to Nottingham City Council. Depending on whether you paid online or by phone, your bank may label the transaction as “NCC CARD PAYMENT WEBSI/INTER/TELEP,” all of which likely reference the council’s card payment systems.

How can I confirm exactly what my NCC card payment to Nottingham City Council was for?

Check any letters, penalty charge notices, council tax bills, or email receipts from Nottingham City Council around the transaction date. They usually list the amount paid and the method (phone or online). If you cannot match it, contact the council via the contact details on nottinghamcity.gov.uk with the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card; they can normally trace the payment and tell you what it covered.

Why do I see multiple NCC card payments from Nottingham for similar small amounts?

Multiple similar NCC card payments may indicate several separate council transactions—for example, more than one penalty notice, repeated permit or licensing fees, or installment-style payments. Public records show repeated small Nottingham-linked “NCC Card Payment” entries for government services, which is consistent with multiple, discrete council charges rather than a single subscription.([leicestershire.gov.uk](https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/sites/default/files/field/pdf/2021/2/4/Procurement-card-statement-ending-17-August-2020.pdf?utm_source=openai))

Is NCC Card Payment a subscription or recurring charge?

Generally, these payments are one-off charges to Nottingham City Council for specific services or penalties. However, if you pay something like council tax or rent-related charges by card on a regular schedule, your statements could show similar NCC descriptors month after month. The council does not typically run an open-ended card subscription; instead, each payment is processed as a separate transaction.

How do I dispute or get a refund for an NCC card payment to Nottingham City Council?

If you believe the charge is incorrect, first contact Nottingham City Council’s revenues or payments team using the details on their official website and provide your payment date, amount, and any reference numbers from bills or notices. They can confirm if the payment was due and whether a refund is allowed under their policies. Only if you cannot resolve it with the council or suspect fraud should you then raise a dispute with your card issuer, as banks may require evidence that you attempted to resolve the issue with the merchant first.

What should I do if I don’t live in Nottingham but see an NCC CARD PAYMENT TELEP charge?

Because “NCC” can be a generic abbreviation, first check whether you have had any dealings with Nottingham City Council (for example, parking or visiting the area) that could explain the charge. If not, contact your bank for more detail about the merchant location and, if they confirm it relates to Nottingham and you still don’t recognize it, treat it as a potential fraudulent transaction and follow your bank’s fraud-reporting process.
