Scotland - Euro Car Parks - Notice to Owner

ThatScottishGuy

Rec'd a letter (Notice to Owner - which I have noticed they have mis-spelt my surname) from Euro Car Parks, I have read the newbies thread but unsure how the law applies in Scotland at present time.


The only image they have provided is my registration. Is it safe to just ignore it and ignore any further letters?


Any help would be much appreciated. :T

Did you miss this bit in post #1 of the NEWBIE sticky?

Q - ''I'm in Scotland/NI, so is the advice different?''

A - IF THE EVENT TOOK PLACE IN SCOTLAND OR NI, WE SUGGEST YOU DO (ALWAYS!) COMPLAIN TO STORE MANAGEMENT IF YOUR PCN IS FROM A RETAIL PARK, BUT DO NOT APPEAL, UNLESS YOUR CAR IS A COMPANY/HIRE/LEASED VEHICLE, IN WHICH CASE, APPEAL AS HIRER/LESSEE (SEE * AT THE FOOT OF THIS POST).

IN SCOTLAND/NI, CERTAINLY COMPLAIN TO THE RETAILERS, BUT IGNORE THE PARKING FIRM UNLESS YOU GET A CLAIM.

IN SCOTLAND THIS IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE, AND DEFENDABLE BY A KEEPER, WHO CURRENTLY HAS A FAR MORE PROTECTED POSITION IN LAW THAN AN ADMITTED DRIVER.

WHEN IGNORING IN SCOTLAND/NI, KEEP ALL LETTERS. DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY, FOR 5 YEARS.

Notice to Owner - which I have noticed they have mis-spelt my surname

Check your vehicle's V5C (logbook) because they electronically lift your details direct from the DVLA and are likely to electronically transfer them to letters they send you.

It's not a showstopper in regards to this case, but if the details aren't correct on the V5C, it might be worth your while informing the DVLA.

To date, I have rec'd:-
1 - Initial letter regarding parking charge from ECP
2 - Reminder letter from ECP
3 - DRP now chasing the fees.


I stupidly didn't read the full newbies on complaining to the retail. Is it too late to do that? Or is it still worth the shot? As I've spent a fair amount in the stores in Scotland over the last few years.


Thanks

It's always worthwhile contacting a landowner.

Do I still continue to ignore the 3 letters; keeping ahold of them for 5 years and only take action if I receive a court letter?

As waamo says ..... still persue the landowners and retailers

DRP are simply timewasters who come out with so much rubbish and one can only assume these are kids writing to you
HILARIOUS JOKERS

You were told to complain to the landholder, have you done this?

Always file anything to do with an alleged debt, until the barring period.
