No, and no.

There is no keeper liability in Scotland - as long as you don't tell them who was driving, you're in the clear (and so is the driver)

In that case do I just attempt to log onto their portal and tell them I was not the driver?  Or will it require an appeal and/or a formal letter?

Hi,

Hopefully someone will be able to assist.  Today I, as the registered keeper, received a Parking Charge form Horizon Parking Ltd from Fort William Travelodge with the issue reason as: Failure to Register for Full Duration of Stay.

The sequence of events are:

01:27 15 Jun 25 vehicle is photographed entering Travelodge car park - car park is dark due to it being the middle of the night - only headlights and front number plate is visible. 
Driver parks vehicle and then enters the Travelodge, spending a short period of time resting before departing early to catch a ferry. At no stage was the driver informed by any member of staff that the vehicle had to be registered.
06:43 15 Jun 25 vehicle is photographed leaving the Travelodge car park.

This is the first parking charge I have received for a vehicle I wasn’t driving so, I have a few questions:

•   I was not the driver at the time - do I legally have to either, pay up or, inform them who the driver was?
•   The alleged offence occurred on the 15 Jun and I have only received the parking charge today (2 Jul), is this beyond the maximum time required for notification?  (The parking charge issue date on the paper work states 23 Jun but I cannot believe that it would take 9 days for RM to deliver a letter)
•   As am not disputing that the vehicle was in the car park at the times stated, what should my next steps be?

Unfortunately, the car park in question is too far away to allow a re-visit to take photographs.  I can upload a pdf of the parking charge if required, once I have figured out how to remove personal information from it.

Thanks in advance.
