    Its on the back in the top paragraph, probably failing to validate the parking session using the in store tablet

    No keeper liability in Scotland, so you can ignore them

    No blabbing about who was driving

    Keeper liability is likely to be implemented next year, almost a decade after the Scottish Transport Bill was enacted

    Business could employ a number of techniques however these tend to cost money that companies are unwilling to spend.

    As mentioned already an exit barrier is an easy fix.

    "terminally entitled" - dear me.

    The OP - from Scotland - said they wanted this PCN gone as they won't be paying (quite right!) but would find the daft threatograms tiresome.

    So, why did nobody on the Motoring board know that the OP can simply appeal to PEye with a copy of the shop receipt (without admitting to driving) and ParkingEye will cancel it?!

    Wrong board. Wrong advice at first.

    Appeal with a copy of the receipt/bank statement without implying if the keeper was driving. It'll be accepted. Scam over.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Unfortunately we are not all as clued up as you, mores the pity.

    I for one am extremely appreciative of your help and advice freely given to many.

    The thread got a bit derailed with comments that seem to misunderstand the delights of the PPC business model.
