Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

I have recently been working at a site in Aberdeen in which we were told to park next door at Morrisons and just tape our number plates. I had been doing so however I have received 10 (TEN) fines from ECP claiming £100 per fine. Obviously I do not wish to pay this, I have looked it up and think as long as they don’t know who was the driver it should be fine? However i’m wary that £1000 worth of fines may be worth their while chasing in court. Can someone please advise.

There is no way to pay to park, it’s a max stay 2 hours car park.

Side note - I have parked there the full month of March - Why don’t I have more fines? Have they given up?

Anyway the first fine is due by tomorrow. I did appeal one simply stating ‘nowhere to pay’ but did not reveal who was driving. Trying to plead ignorance really.

What should I do? I would pay one if i absolutely must, but i’m not paying 10.

*Today I used JustPark.co.uk to park there as they have all day parking available there for £7? Unsure if this is right, but at least I can say I was paying to park there if I receive any fines.

How do I post images?

There is  no keeper liability in Scotland, doesn't mean they won't try court for that sort of money, especially if the have evidence of a deliberate attempt to defraud, I.e. the tape over the plate. That was not a clever move.

Probably not, but it was under advice of others that I worked with and still do that. I know now I guess.

Noted on the taping. I’ve just started paying using Just Park for £7 per day.

The appeal I simply wrote ‘nowhere to pay’ and uploaded two images of their website not listing the location and the sign in the car park. I realise now this is due to the fact it’s just a max 2 hour stay, they don’t allow any pay to park spaces.

Registered keeper. I would not mention anything to do with being the driver.

No response yet.

But was the appeal made as 'keeper' or 'driver'?

Have you had an appeal response?

Just got a response now.



I assume I should just ignore?
