Scotland private parking notice
« on: »
Hi,

I am in Scotland and as I am keeper received notice. I replied and received many letters. They have ignored my keeper letter and seem to think I have appealed! So should I reply to them or not? Here are the letters https://imgur.com/a/NIU2oQb

Providing you have not told them who was driving, you can ignore. If you have written to them explaining why you do not owe the money, they are likely to treat this as an appeal.

You said you wouldn’t enter into further correspondence, so don’t. In particular, you can only appeal to POPLA as the driver, which you don’t want to do. Just ignore all debt collector letters that follow, eventually they’ll give up.

How have they managed to quote a POPLA appeal verification code on their letter?

I have received a charge in Scotland or Northern Ireland. Can POPLA consider appeals in these countries too?

We can accept appeals from drivers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is because Scotland and Northern Ireland has a different set of rules to England and Wales.

In order to appeal to us you must be the driver or appealing on behalf of someone who was driving. If you submit an appeal to POPLA and you were not the driver, or you are appealing on behalf of a driver that has not been identified your appeal will not be assessed and will be withdrawn.

KISS! Scottish resident and alleged contravention in Scotland.
Driver not identified.
No Keeper liability in Scotland.
Simply ignore EVERYTHING from this scamming, unregulated private parking firm.

End of.

POPLA is irrelevant. Nothing will happen. Get on with your life. Any correspondence from them, including any useless debt recovery letters are simply designed to intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.

Of course it was. They didn't have a leg to stand on.

Beware though, your previous "glorious leader" agreed to adopt the English equivalent of PoFA, which, when introduced, probably some time next year, will make it more difficult to deal with these speculative invoices.
