I can't tell you how grateful I am for this - thank you so much. I will keep this thread updated.

Hello all, update on the above procedure - I have received a letter from the Sheriff court inviting me to a case management discussion in January: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dM-9Uug63a_fOB_pBm7Qpiy2tMqaWeEE/view?usp=sharingI'm grateful for any advice on how to approach this. I don't want to tell them that I know who was driving or name them, but don't want to be obstructive either!

I attached it back in June to the original thread (so there are some replies that cover its contents) but I actually can't find it - I looked for the screenshot as well but no sign. It was basically a demand that didn't say anything official like 'intimation' or that it was a notice of legal action. It basically said i had 10 days to pay or I'd be taken to court. The response (above) was that it was a joke of a letter that had no legal basis and was definitely nothing but a debt collection demand.

Hi - I've linked to the pack below. It included a 'time to pay' application as well but that seems to be immaterial: copy of packI've also completed the response form on the portal - will see what happens now!

I cannot thank you enough - this has helped enormously and I think I will get some sleep tonight. I will act immediately and complete the form online as suggested. I think I have been in ostrich mode hoping this would go away, but lesson learned here. I am most grateful and I will update with the outcome.

I posted back in June about receiving a solicitors letter basically hassling me for £160 after I ignored a PCN where I was not the driver. You offered reassurance and support and suggested I should ignore the letter OR respond to dismiss it. I ignored as I am quite an anxious person and was really reluctant to engage with it.Now I wish I had, as I have received a very intimidating 40 page printout entitled 'Form 6A - the Simple Procedure Notice of Claim' with the court logo on it. The claim has been raised by the same solicitor that sent me the letter (I don't think I have the letter any more but it essentially just said I had to pay or there would be legal action).I can respond to the claim using the form, and refuse to pay and say why - I don't really know what will happen if I do that - will I end up potentially in some kind of court proceedings where I'll need to cover legal costs etc?I'm so worried. This is what the claim is based on:Link to image

Quote from: RichardW on 22 Jun, 2025 06:46Please post the letter you have received.You are correct that there is currently no keeper liability in Scotland, so as long as you haven't disclosed the driver's ID then they can take no action. They'd be unlikely to take action for a single ticket anyway. A letter from a real (?) law firm is a step not sure has been seen before,Here's the letter they sent over.It seems like its just a demand for money.

My car was parked in a supermarket car park a few months ago and as the supermarket is currently closed the driver didn’t enter the shop - just used the car park. I wasn’t there at the time. I (the registered keeper) later received a ‘ticket’ by post from Vehicle Control Services that was dated 3 weeks before delivery, saying if I didn’t pay the £100 ‘fine’ within 2 wks it would increase to £160.I didn’t respond. I debated appealing but didn’t get round to it. Now I have received a letter apparently from a solicitor (Pollock Fairbridge) saying they’ve been instructed to raise sheriff court proceedings against me.They’ve included bank details for me to pay them within 10 days or await court proceedings.I was not the driver at the time. What should I do here? I believed that in Scotland these fines are not enforceable as the keeper is not obligated to disclose the details of the driver. The company cannot prove that I was in the vehicle let alone driving. Should I reply to this letter? Or ignore it?
