Private parking tickets / Re: ECP Parking Charge - Dundee Gallagher Retail Park

« on: February 01, 2025, 06:41:05 pm »

Yes I am aware of the no keeper liability in Scotland and as the registered keeper I have not identified the driver to ECP at any point. My main worry was that if they have two cases against me as the registered keeper, would they feel more obliged to pursue the charges? Thanks for your response though regarding the appeal template, will keep that in mind.

Private parking tickets / ECP Parking Charge - Dundee Gallagher Retail Park

Driver parked up, noticed the signs said 2 hours free and hadn't read further detailing a "free ticket" was required as proof of free 2 hours as the car park is for a major supermarket. Driver came back to the car to find the charge notice attached. Signs do say the car park is camera controlled, and the notice lists the time the driver entered the car park, thus they know the driver left around 4pm and was not over the two hours. As the registered keeper I already have an debt collection letter for a previous ECP car park. Would it be wise to recommend the driver appeal this one on the basis of the rules being different to most other supermarkets and not exceeding the time which they already know the driver hadn't, or ignore it and hope they don't see the registered keeper as a bigger target to take to court with 2 fines? Thanks in advance.

I should add I'm almost certain signs in the car park mention a 15 min grace period to use the local businesses but I can't find the terms on their website.

Hello,
I (as the registered keeper) have recently received a letter from ECP informing me of a parking charge for parking for 23 minutes. After entering the car park, the driver drove around for about 10 minutes to find a space, before parking and collecting a takeaway from one of the nearby restaurants within the car park. The issue is that the letter has been sent to the keeper's old address - my parents' in England (which I have since updated with DVLA to the new address in Scotland). Additionally, the second letter is dated 15/11 but only arrived today 25/11. I do not know when exactly the first letter arrived as I was only made aware of either of them today.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I certainly understand it was silly to not update the registered keeper address immediately, although I thought I had.
