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?

No.

 The £60 charge can quadruple if they are successful.

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!

Thanks for the encouragement and information!

@Gazza8 Would you join the call for Govt to protect motorists from the private parking industry's nasty practices. Like the ones Rose St car parkers experience.

A 2nd petition has been just added online. Please sign and share 🙏

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.

Sorry but you have been had for being naive, PPC staff regularly say things like this, the only way the company makes money is by people breaking the rules and if this was ANPR their IT system still logs you in and out what ever the machines say. They are in an unregulated scam industry it's what they do!

Yes shafted I think is the word. Thanks for your reply.
