Ah, you're in Scotland? In which case, you have yourself a 'get out of jail free' card! Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 does not apply in Scotland, as it does in England and Wales, so there is not (currently) any keeper liability in Scotland.

You can either ignore them, or, as you can positively state that you were not the driver, you could write to UKPC once*, referencing all of the PCN numbers, pointing out the following:
  • That you are the registered keeper of the vehicle, but that you were not the driver on any of the occasions for which they have issued parking charge notices
  • That you are under no obligation to name the driver, and will not be doing so
  • That as you are not the driver, they are unable to recover the charge from you, and they and their debt collectors should cease contacting you about the charges

If you do decide to write to them, feel free to share a draft. I'd only write to them once if you do, don't waste your time with any extended correspondence. If they try to claim you can be held liable as the registered keeper, let us know.

*As there are multiple charges in play, it might be wise to do so, just so they know you understand your position.

Quick one, on their website I only seem to be able to appeal one fine at a time, and I can no longer appeal the tickets that have been referred to debt recovery.

Would you suggest just writing to them via a letter?

I am yes. Many thanks for your response.

I will probably write to them, just to stop the constant influx of letters if anything.

Thanks again.

I have attached photos of four of the letters, there is another one dated 02/04/2024.

The first two have reached debt collector stage, the remaining three are on final reminder stage.

Can't provide photos of car park at the moment. I have been told that there is signage in the car park.

Private parking tickets / Am I doomed?

I have been away for work recently, during this time my partner has been using my car.

Turns out she’s been parking in a private car park but wasn’t aware because she wasn’t getting tickets on the car.

I’ve returned home to numerous letters from UKPC with parking fines (some of which have reached final warning and debt collector stage), we don’t live together so my mail wasn’t being opened.

There is around 5 fines in total.

If I attempt to contact UKPC and explain the situation is their any chance they might be understanding and reduce the amount I owe? Accepted the fact we’re going to have to pay something but the amount outstanding is so excessive.

Or am I doomed and just going to have to grin a bear it?
