Just ignore everything ... Scotland and Smart Parking = no chance of this going further than a few annoying letters. In the highly unlikely event that you get an actual court claim then please come back (probably with your own new thread).

for multiple tickets in scotland (not the above) smart has issued quite a large number of claims north of Hadrians wall!

So....? What to do?

How many do you have? Smart are one of the more active claimants in the Scottish courts then other operators, 
seen LBC;s for Northern Ireland involving Smart over 9K recently and territory where parking firms dont normally venture i would certainly think they will try given the sums involved
Dont be led in to a false sense of security that just because your norther of T'wall you are safe....... (not saying pay up OR that they will issue a claim, but the maths are there for big claims

15 PCN. Claiming for approx £3000.

So, how many have Smart won, if any ?

ive no idea BUT id say there is a chance they have a won fair number of claims , just like in any of the 50+ hearings (on average) per day up and down the country in the English Courts.

According to the figures collected by ParkingMad, there were only 8 Smart Parking hearings in 2019:-

Should I reply to CST law and request SAR from SMART ? Any further comments would be appreciated

WHy not SAR Smart. Cant hurt can it, and you will know more as a result. 
Responding to CST law denying any alleged debt and requiring them to disclose the evidence they have would be good.

Haven't those questions been asked and answered by others on this thread?

The whole point of a 'group thread' is that everybody learns from how others are doing things and thus removing the need to re- ask the same questions.

Even if those questions haven't been asked on this thread, they are certainly addressed in the NEWBIES thread.

Why don't you just read other threads about CST Law and Smart LBCs about Scotland or NI? 

This one for example, where I just posted what to do:

following on from my original post, (link here if you wish to read https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6094737/apcoa-parking-debt-recovery-plus/p1)
hoping someone could help here?
'for the alleged contravention Use of Private Car Park without a valid payment/permit'
this is the same story for all the other PCN's
we pay a weekly fee to park the car there, if we arrive early/leave later than the permitted time (07:00 - 19:00) we enter our reg in the parking machine, pay the few pounds in coins and leave.
its not clear on the PCN's as to the detail of the contravention - EG overstay, not actually having a valid permit etc. 
what would the next course of action be here? request further info on the actual contravention? 
thank you

Yes, if you have a letter from CST Law about it now, then ask your questions now.

If you haven't blabbed about who was driving then keep it that way, given than APCOA don't seem to have heard of the POFA 2012 and (like lots of PPCs) have never bothered to use it and can only hold a known driver liable in law.

Hi
thanks for the reply
nope. Not mentioned who was driving 
I’ll send CST Law the questions and ask about providing further info on the contravention 

much appreciated
