Hi again everyone. I have today received a communication from Direct Collection Bailiffs, who say their client is Parking Eye, in relation to an alleged parking event that took place in the car park of Asda's supermarket in Perth, Scotland, in July 2024.
This is not the same as the event that is the subject of
this other thread, which allegedly occurred in England.
I was the keeper of the car on the date of the alleged incident. There has been, and there will be, no identification of the driver.
Notable features this time are as follows:
1. This refers to an "unpaid parking charge", but it is the first communication I have received about this - some 15 months after the alleged parking incident. As you can see, they include the BPA logo on their communication, so presumably they are obliged to play by BPA rules. What's the time limit? Surely it's less than 15 months?
2. They clearly say on their document that liability in Scotland falls on the driver. It's interesting that they haven't even asked me whether I know who the driver was, yet they are still threatening to "recommend" to their client the "commencement of legal action" against me.
3. I would be interested to know when they got my name and address as keeper, and whether they got it from the DVLA or from somewhere else.
4. Note the absence of
a. any reference to the alleged time of the incident;
b. any reference to what the contravention allegedly was, other than that it allegedly involved "remaining";
c. photographs.
