Decl ltd

Sorry everyone, if this is a regular question, back in August 23 got ticket from Asda Livingston, appealed as no machines working, lost appeal, heard nothing until today, threats of court or pay £140. 
They appear to have an office in Livingston and a phone number that is not in Livingston, 01698912992 .
can they come after me? And will? I live in Scotland and received the threat letter today

    No one is going to 'come after you' in Scotland for a single parking ticket. Who on earth did you appeal to?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    You just ignore this.  COMPLETELY. Unless you get a Simple Procedure Claim, which you won't. Nothing will happen.

    Search the forum though (read recent Scotland parking threads from the past couple of years only) as the law will change in Scotland in about a year (for new private PCNs) & there will in future be a proper appeals service.

    In Scotland you will get 'keeper liability' inflicted on you in future. Stupid idea!

    Anyway search the forum for those words in bold, as it's all been typed before.  Loads of times!

    DCBLegal (the arm that litigates in England) don't have a Livingston office.  DCB Ltd might but you can ignore their dross.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Same.  We are law abiding citizens here and nothing we advise risks anyone's credit rating. You are currently bulletproof in Scotland but I recommend you do the forum search and read other replies we made last year which explain what is changing in Scotland in future.

    Ignoring a bunch of chancers in an unregulated money making scammers industry won't do you any harm!
