Your earlier reply said that you didn't receive a Popla code 

If you did, you can only appeal to Popla as the driver, using the words provided by Grizebeck 

Sorry that's my bad - I went back onto the appeal email and there was one

In that case you can appeal as the driver with the suggested sentence, nothing else 

Okay thanks - what's the likelihood it will be accepted?
Or can I just ignore it now as you originally advised or could it be taken to a simple claims court?

Do the appeal to popla as I suggest
You will win

You ask what it will do..it will get the ticket cancelled of course. What else !

Cheers @Grizebeck - so work through the POPLA claim and just submit that one line as you have suggested?

Yes that's right 

Only other thing I've just noticed is who they've addressed the letter to - it is an old company name which we are no longer using. Does this make any difference?

There are several scenarios, none of which can really be predicted 

Its either ignore if the appeal did not reveal who was driving or about the story in the first post, due to no keeper liability , but I suspect that you gave it away, most people do due to blabbing 

Or you appeal to Popla as driver using the template sentence kindly provided by Grizebeck , seeing as you are now stating that a Popla code WAS provided 

Its your choice to make 

I doubt that Smart would issue a claim via the Sheriff for a single PCN within the next 5 years, I definitely won't speculate on the justice system in Scotland, its difficult enough for the England and Wales system 

Grizebeck has told you their preference

OK, I am in the 'ignore' camp.

Especially now that you have revealed that the PCN was sent to a non-existent entity.

As an aside... you must of course update the DVLA with up to date Registered Keeper details.

In your opening post you mentioned a failed appeal.
Who actually appealed? The 'new' company? An individual? The 'old' company?

No more thoughts need. Use the text I've told you to use. 
Than let us know when it's cancelled
Really it's so simple and you didn't need all this waffle
Anything else you mention is irrelevant. Come back in a few weeks.

Fair point - send me £100 in the post if it fails

Smart have obtained the keeper details from the DVLA database using the electronic link, as it is the correct procedure

There is a legal requirement to keep the details up to date and the DVLA could prosecute via the magistrates court or similar for not doing so, a possible £1000 fine could be the result of any court case 

The keeper should be getting it done online ASAP

Jeez... so many posts over 3 pages for the sake of the simplest POPLA appeal as advised by @Grizebeck and it still goes on. 

OP, just to the one line POPLA appeal or simply ignore it. End of!
