    You will find very little help with regarding court claims in Scotland and NI
    What you to do is follow the instructions to the letter, writing a defence is very similar to that in the English courts but the process is just different
    if you were not the driver just say no, non of this "i am not sure", you dont need to provide evidence you were not but you must be firm one way or the other

    You've left your name visible on page 2 of that letter.    Are you close enough to a free Law Centre? Scotland has a few.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    It's also visible in the first image ... as is the case reference in both images. Take those images down NOW and replace them please so that your own details are redacted! (Parking companies browse this forum).

    This is a real claim though, so you can't ignore it. Obviously the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 will be one of your defence points (as long as you can truthfully file an "I wasn't the driver" defence).

    Not in Scotland, I believe.

    Nor is it  a forum for advising how to avoid the consequences of protracted irresponsible behaviour.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    I meant in terms of it doesn't apply to Scotland, therefore a registered keeper cannot be liable in law - at all. :)

    We don't know the circumstances, Sir Deep. Perhaps it's an "own space" case where the driver(s) of the vehicle have declined to display a parking permit. Would you suggest such a person is unworthy of help?

    If it's another Carly Mackie scenario then that's a different matter.

    My comment was a generality.  However, amassing 28 tickets, even "own space",  is laid back behaviour to say the least. 

    If thid had happened to me I would have been over them like a rash after the first ticket.

    I would go down the whole hog "i wasnt the driver " with this case but greatly expand on it
