I’ve stupidly been ignoring them since about May 

Which isn't stupid, as you are in Scotland.

What if you foolishly admitted you were the driver via an appeal? I appealed with what was a strong appeal. No machines working and company staff trying to fix them advised me I couldn’t pay and not to worry. I took photographs of the machines and of the staff. My appeal was still unbelievably unsuccessful. I now want to ignore all communication from them but worry that I admitted to being the driver. This was in Rose Street retail park in Inverness. Any advice?

Is it not different if you’ve admitted to being the driver?

Thanks for getting back. It’s just having the bottle to hold out or take the cowards option of paying the minimum charge🤔

There's no bottle needed
Why would you give in and pay. Utter madness and your in Scotland.
It's a mentality I don't understand. I actually think people make excuses to themselves to make them feel better about paying up and wasting money

You are writing as if there's a dilemma?!

Why on EARTH does anyone in Scotland pay these?  C'mon. See it for what it is.

Yes but crucially the advice is do not engage as in Scotland the registered keeper can’t be compelled to name the driver in civil law. I’ve engaged with them by way of an appeal and admitted to being the driver as part of the case. Does this not strengthen their case to take to court as they have driver evidence? The £60 charge can quadruple if they are successful.

No.

Actually it can't, not if they sued you using the Scottish Simple Procedure.  It's got a really good costs ban!

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. They won't sue.  One of the reasons that they won't (apart from the fact that parking solicitors don't do Scottish law) is that your system (sensibly) bans added costs for claims under £300!
