Beating NCP in 2026: The Tech Glitch Defense

NCP (National Car Parks) manages some of the most expensive spaces in the UK. Their reliance on the 'PayByPhone' and proprietary apps often creates technical loopholes.

1. Frustration of Contract (App Glitches)

If you tried to pay but the NCP app or machine failed, you have a 'Frustration of Contract' defense.

2. The Multi-Story Signage Loophole

In many NCP multi-story car parks, the terms are only displayed on the ground floor.
