Parking Awareness Services - Scotland - Advice Please

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hello,

I have moved into a new flat in Scotland and recently received multiple letters from Parking Awareness Services as I wasn't a "pre-authorised vehicle"

Link to car parking space - google.co.uk/maps/@55.8503823,-4.2331452,3a,75y,142.31h,74.6t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQVO4BsWyaHZL7vZYGH3CQA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

In fact, I have just realized that two were on the same day!
I'm looking for advice as to what I should do next, should I ignore these letters?

Thank you

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.

    All the guidance you need is in post #1 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.
    There is a specific section in there about incidents in Scotland.

    Do not give away the driver's identity.

    Advice is contained in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1, including specific advice for tickets in Scotland.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Opinions on what?


    You came for advice - and have been pointed to where you get it




    Everyone is politely asked to read up the newbies faq thread (which answers your specific questions!) and only start a new thread If more advice required!


    You can see how busy this forum is!

    What type of 'other opinions' are you seeking? Please be more specific.

    my opinion (should you want it) , is to read the newbies thread , where there is a section that explains the difference between scotland and england and suggests what to do

    I think you should pay double what they are asking. Actually make that three times.

    There you go a different opinion.

    Apologises I should have mentioned I have read the newbie thread, the advice in Scotland was to ignore it. Given that I've been sent around 5, should I act any differently?
