4 different Fines in a row Smart Parking Ltd

Even though almost no claims happen in Scotland?  I’d ignore it but if you must, futilely Appeal and lose at POPLA first.

Do we have any data on how many claims they have won in scotland? 

I can tell you love this 😂

I don’t love it - there are lovelier things in life and I’m a normal middle aged mum with a family - but I have been doing this for well over a decade so it’s second nature.

I don’t think they’ve won any cases that we know of.  They’ve started a handful of simple procedure cases which went quiet.  Nothing exciting.

These are not fines, please read the newbies. 

This may amuse you.

Pete Wishart MP said recently in the House of commons about Smart Parking.

"I am sick and tired of receiving emails from people complaining about the behaviour of parking companies, telling me that they will never again visit Perth city centre because of the negative experience they had when they had the misfortune to end up in a car park operated by one of these companies. I have received more complaints about one car park in the city of Perth than about any other issue. That car park is operated by the lone ranger of the parking cowboys: the hated and appalling Smart Parking—I see that many other Members are unfortunate enough to have Smart Parking operating in their constituencies. It has reached the stage where one member of my staff now spends a good part of each day just helping my constituents and visitors to my constituency to navigate the appeals process.

…The BPA does not have the ability to regulate these companies and has shown no sign whatsoever that it is trying to get on top of some of the sharper practices. The BPA gives a veneer of legitimacy to some of the more outlandish rogue operators by including them in their membership, allowing them to continue to operate. The Bill will oblige operators such as Smart Parking to amend their practices.

Have you complained ti your MP?  

Thanks for you input. The crippling anxiety of potentially going to court is killing me 

You have nothing to fear from the SCC, watch spme of these

You need to start your own thread rather the hijacking one from 2021.  What were the times on the pictures?  Have you read the NEWBIE sticky?  Have you attempted to complain to the retail park - Plan A in the NEWIE sticky.

Please start a thread. You could obviously email Smart a complaint and tell them to treat it as your appeal.
