Horizon Parking - Scotland - Ignore?

RP1308

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice. I have read multiple threads on here, and the NEWBIES sticky, and I'm wondering if the correct course of action for parking fines in Scotland is still to ignore? I had heard from a few people this was no longer the case, but people on here will know better.

I have received 3 letters from Horizon for parking +3 hours. I had been using Tesco for parking to go to work for over a year, and it seems as though Tesco have now employed Horizon to manage the car park. I wasn't aware of this, and must've parked there about 6x before I received a letter (no longer parking there) so I wouldn't be surprised if I receive a couple more. There were no tickets on the car at the time, and the letters have my name as the registered keeper.

whats the best course of action here?

Thanks

either:

a: do as the stickie says for scotland ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ignore unless you recieve court papers

b: pack you bags and become an off grid spoon whittler in a far off country

What makes you think the regularly updated advice in the Newbies Sticky is wrong..?

I didn't say it was wrong... I was just looking for confirmation from people who know best.

Same as this Smart parking thread about Scotland:

...don't worry about it and never say who was driving.
