Free Traffic Legal Advice

A quick look at GSV shows that (in 2024 at least) there was a sign at the entrance saying that Glasgow Airport Byelaws applied in that area. You would be well advised to look them up and see what they say about parking.

As stated, you probably also want to do the following:
1. Go back and get pictures of current signage.
2. Appeal as keeper. Don't name the driver. There's no keeper liability in Scotland so they can't transfer it to the keeper.
3. If you weren't the driver, say so. If you were the driver, don't lie. Just keep quiet.

However, the value of the claim puts you in a pickle. Parking companies don't normally do court in Scotland because the value of the claim is such that they can't recover expenses so hiring a lawyer is a waste of money. For a claim of £1400, they could claim expenses of up to £150 if they win, which might make them feel it's worth a shot.

If they send a lawyer to court they'll have an opportunity to ask you (the keeper) who was driving. I don't need to tell you how bad an idea lying in court is.

They know your identity as keeper. If you have any social media photos showing you on holiday for the 2 weeks you were parked next to the airport now would be a great time to make sure they're private.

If the worst comes to the worst and they do take this to court, you may also have a partial escape route. They've said that the contravention is no parking at any time. The vehicle was parked once, so one ticket is potentially valid. If they'd issued one ticket for £1400 saying it's £100 per day then fine, but they haven't. they've issued 14 tickets, which implies 14 separate contraventions. But if the driver was in Benidorm for the entire day the car was there and never touched it, they can't have formed another contract. This avenue will likely depend on the signage and / or the byelaws.

Bit late for this occasion, but in future if someone's filming you, play some Disney tunes on your phone or car speaker as loud as possible.

That greatly increases the chances of their video getting taken down or demonetised and them getting a copyright strike on their account. 

Someone I know borrowed my car and received this ticket at Northwick Park Hospital car park, The person paid the parking charges but the car was not parked in a bay. I was not the driver of the car, someone else was driving and now they are refusing to pay for it.

The forum is normally very good at helping people avoid having to pay for tickets as keeper / hirer, and will absolutely be able to assist you in doing that.

That said, you've got a person who's borrowed your car, incurred an expense and refuses to pay. If you so desire, you can provide their name and address to APCOA and that definitely removes any liability from you and means that the other person can deal with APCOA themselves.

It may burn a bridge, but some bridges are worth burning. Your call.

Does that fact that the OP left before the NtD could be given hold any water? Have ECP used the 'wrong' NtK?

'Secretive' aka 'waah waah waah we didn't get a chance to send a photographer this is unfair'

This almost happened to me in Glasgow a couple of months back, I spotted just before making payment that my 8 quid was buying me from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning.

Unfortunately for you, since it tells you the end time of the session before you make payment, Ringo are going to argue that you were informed of what you were paying for before paying and deny any refund or dispute any chargeback on that basis.

What proof do you have that it was sold? It's been transferred to another learner, but the £500 - £1000 figure appears to have just been made up.

The difference is that dogs can be trained to behave and follow commands, and cats...well, you'd have more luck ordering gravity to switch off.
