Free Traffic Legal Advice

No keeper liability means that the registered keeper can not be held liable for the actions of the driver.
There is no requirement for the keeper and the driver to be different people, nor is there any requirement to notify anyone of this if it were to be the case.
The point is that the identity of the driver is not known, the parking company has contacted the registered keeper, who may or may not be the same person. In England & Wales, provided certain requirements are complied with, the driver’s liability can be transferred to the registered keeper, but not in Scotland as you note.

You can contact them if you want, but keep it simple if you do, something like

I appeal as registered keeper.

Liability for the parking charge rests with the driver of the vehicle. I have no requirement to name the driver, and I will not be doing so. For the avoidance of doubt, I was not the driver.

You will be aware that under Scots law there is no mechanism via which liability for the charge can be transferred from the driver to the keeper.

I look forward to your confirmation that this charge has been cancelled

Or you can simply ignore, because nothing will come of it.

Hi

Just to follow up on my previous post from back in July I appealed using the previous posters template.  The appeal was rejected as expected.  Further notices have been sent with the amount due increased to £100.  Again these were ignored.

Now a letter from Debt Recovery Plus has arrived threatening legal action if I don't pay what is now a £170 charge. I presume the course of action is to stay the course and continue to ignore?  I just wanted to be sure that the change in legislation expected in 2025 regarding Keeper Liability hasn't come into law yet which might affect my position on this ticket.

Once again, thanks for your help...the people in this forum provide a great public service 

PS I was going to attach the letter but can't see an "Attachments" option

The change to the legislation is not likely to come into effect before the end of this year. The government is still in the consultation phase (see my signature).

I would be interesting (fun) to see their reasoning for rejecting the appeal you sent. Let them send as many useless debt recovery letters as they like. You can safely shred those and use them as hamster bedding for anyone cares. We don't need to see any debt recovery letters.

Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.

There is nowhere else for these bottom-dwelling, unregulated private parking firms to go with this.
