Parkingeye - Marriot at Glasgow Airport.

Guys just after a bit of help. 

Need to decide by tonight if i want to pay the £60 or it'll be £100. I've had a couple before over the last 7/8 years or so from different places and successfully appealed one and just ignored the other.

However, i understand the law up here is changing to fall in sync with England and Wales and just wondering if it had happened yet? 

Also, if i decide to ignore is there a max charge they can take you for in court in the very unlikely event they pursue it ? (so i'm told)

I know some people advise against appealing but if i do i think, if i've read it correctly it will extend the £60 charge to 28 days from 14. 

I was dropping a mate off at the airport and was killing time to be honest and drove off the main carriageway for 20 mins and into this empty car park behind the Marriot Hotel. There possibly was a sign but without driving up and checking i can't be 100% about that so they've possibly got me here?

thanks in advance

How about £0.00?  Because if you follow advice, that's what you'll pay in Scotland.

Not yet, maybe later in the year, but not retrospectively.

They won't take you to court in Scotland - apart from the different legal processes between Scotland and E/W (which they most likely aren't familiar with, given their lack of litigation north of the border), if it's under £300 they're chasing, it financially non-viable for them. Now, what was that question again! 😉

Complain to Marriott if you wish, I'd certainly get your MSP and MP involved with a complaint to them about being harassed for money by a PPC. See if they'll rattle PE's cage.

Nothing has changed in Scotland yet, no revealing who was driving, no keeper liability 

You should probably file it away, nothing pay it 

When keeper liability comes in , along with the new code of practice for all 3 nations, many people up north will get a shock, but its not happened yet

Thanks. There seems to be consensus.

Certainly is. NO PAYING A PRIVATE PARKING CHARGE IN SCOTLAND, AS THINGS STAND.

When you get 'keeper liability' you will also get access to the Single Appeals service, so disputes will have a proper ADR at last (for new PCNs).  Nothing will be retrospective unless the use of the new ADR is perhaps ordered by a court, particularly if PPC World get greedy and the Scottish courts start to get more meritless parking claims than they can be bothered to hear. 

Not all bad.  Although keeper liability is appalling in the grubby hands of this rogue industry and the idea of copying it North of the border was plain stupid.

You can bet that tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of motorists not of the border have just been gullibly paying the scammers. Even the few we see on here are mostly surprised to find out they were not liable in the first place.

The very sad thing about ParkingEye is that they know all about Scotland yet still want to try it on and scam you

PE is mixing with the wrong crowd nowadays and stopped being professionals
