If they really say that only the driver can use POPLA, this is a lie.
No, it isn't.

If they really say that only the driver can use POPLA, this is a lie. More likely, they have sent the standard fishing letter trying to get you to divulge the identity of the driver, which you can ignore, and in due course they will reject your appeal “after careful consideration” but send you a POPLA code which you can use on the simple basis that keeper liability under PoFA does not apply in Scotland. Essentially they are trying to scare/trick you into paying up because that’s all they care about.

If you think otherwise, please post what you have received rather than leaving us in the dark.

thanks, please see the letter attached.  You are correct about the "after careful consideration" comment and they have also shared a POPLA code, but I do believe they are also suggesting I can't continue the appeal with POPLA as I am the keeper but not the driver... "Please note only the driver of the vehicle can pursue an appeal via POPLA"

Thanks again

Private parking tickets / Private parking ticket in Scotland, I wasn't driver

Hi all

I have received, and appealed, a private parking ticket from a company who are registered with POPLA.  My appeal was rejected by the private company even though I have shared evidence in my appeal that proves I wasn't in the country at the time the ticket was issued.  I understand that I am under no obligation to determine who was driving the car at the time.  I have requested evidence from the private company to help me identify who was driving the car, and they have been unable to share any with me.  They shared photos of my vehicle, but they don't show who was driving the car.

They have said only the driver can continue the appeal with POPLA, not me as the registered keeper.  And they have given me a short time period to pay the fine.

From reading up on this, as far as I can tell they do have the option to take me to court, but on the basis I can prove I wasn't in the country, I imagine I would have a strong case.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
