the rules re POFA are different in Scotland ... it does not apply .... so they can not chase the keeper.

Umkomaas... nope. I'm in England, the Midlands. You have my curiosity. Why? Does this make a difference?

P.S. No reply from this Highview bunch as yet. 3 days? Not very efficient are they.

O.a.B.

It's just that you were quoting Pete Wishart, MP for Perth and I thought you might be based north of the border.

the sending out of pcn,s is more or less automated as computers check times and proabably issue the pcn,s , plus they have to have it done in a short time if they wanted any chance of applying POFA (the 14 day window to get DVLA details and to issue & send out the pcn by day 13)



whereas people have to look at all the appeals and deal with them , which means it all takes time, and they have 35 days worth of time to consider appeals , so the time pressure isnt there for that stage


and they like to keep people sweating

As the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire (Pete Wishart) said, they are made to look like fines, but they are not—they are invoices...

Is this also the case with the Tesco / Highview situation?

I have a Highview notice issued earlier this month sat on my desk, for my vehicle, that I was driving and parked in Tesco for longer than the free parking time permitted on this signs.



It is not a fine and it doesn't look like a fine. It has "CHARGE NOTICE" in big letters near the top, just below my address, not "FINE". It talks about terms and conditions, not laws being broken, and at no point suggests a criminal offence has been committed.

I have a Highview notice ........

And are you doing something about it?

Do you want help - because the forum can help you kill this off ..... or are you happy to take your chances on riding this out for the next 6 years?

If you do want help, (as a long-term MSE poster), you will know to start a new thread of your own, please.

Have you read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1 which gets you underway in fighting this?
