    Would that be the reason then why they haven't yet brought a case to court??

    doubt it but pappa raises a good point so bear with it, an answer will be forthcoming

    dout or not , check the MCOL website and see of your "auntie" in sunny scootland can start a County court claim for a person in england /wales , yes it can be done but the paperwork and costs are more excessive than the figure written on the origional ticket , and costs incurred before the MCOL are not allowed to be passed on

    Where a company is registered means little, they work out of a English address

    registration address is 5, South Inch Business Centre, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland, PH2 8BW

    The ultimate parent company in the UK is Smart Parking (UK) Limited, also registered in the UK registered number SC413479.
    Smart Parking Ltd
    Unit 43, Elmdon Trading Estate
    Bickenhill Lane
    Birmingham
    B37 7HE

    so they can

    yes and they are as a company registered in scootland and australia and new zeland etc etc , but as a COMPANY their address with companies house is in scootland no England

    Registered office address
    5 South Inch Business Centre, Shore Road, Perth, Perth And Kinross, PH2 8BW


    as a company that is with the BPA they would have to issue a county court clain in their own name and correct postal address (as per company house) , and thats in scootland not a forwarding address in england .

    there is as such no county court in scootland , and a person/company attempting a claim in england would have to be registered (with comp;anies house ) as an english company

    Hi, due to my nan passing away I didn't use my popla code and have received 2 red letters and now a threat letter from scs law, but they have stated that my contravention is displaying an expired ticket and being asked to pay £155. My actual pcn was for being in the carpark for 16mins and not purchasing a ticket. So it seems like I've got two different charges?? I'm not sure what to do about this. Can anyone advise me please.

    No PG, a Bilker is a person who parks on private land where there is a charge for doing so, but drives off without paying.
