Geedub-MFC Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A friend got a £100 fine for waiting for 35 minutes in a hotel car park at Glasgow Airport. They didn't actually get out of the car and they stupidly thought if anyone tried to take their details they could just drive away. Didn't realise it was one of these automatic recognition systems (Camera must be hidden away somewhere as it's not at the entrance) I've always been told to ignore any fines from private companies. The fine came from ParkingEye who have apparently been taking a lot of people to court so I'm just wondering if ignoring it is still the done thing. Google suggests Scots Law may be on my "friends" side here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If its parking eye or one of the other shitebags that hotels / supermarkets normally employ in car parks their "fines" are actually invoices as they are unenforceable in under Scots law, they only are in the rest of the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not enforceable in the rest of the UK either unless a court rules that you have to pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE63 exile Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 One way is if you someone who has disabled blue badge/permit just ask them their details then reply to the ticket and you won't hear anything more. A lot of posters are right with the parking eye just ignore them and you tend not to hear anymore about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border Reiver Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The wife got one of these "fines" from a supermarket car park from the same lot. As others have said ignore all letters. They will post out a few more saying the fine is increasing and going to court etc but they have never taken anyone in Scotland to court. They will give up in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawner upper Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Ignore Ignore Ignore,when you get the reminders,ignore them as well,they will soon get the hint and stop sending them. They will not take you to court or do anything to your credit rating,just threats that is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
