Euro Car parking fine - RK out of country

Hi all
Just looking for some advice.
The registered keeper received a parking fine after the driver went into a car park for half an hour on 03/02/19 to pick up a friend. Cameras captured the vehicle entering the premises and leaving - they have attached photos of the reg plate. The driver didn't actually leave the vehicle so you can understand the frustration having an invoice of £100 for this.
On top of this, the registered keeper was out of the country at the time this occurred. Therefore, registered keepers post was not opened and the original fine not seen until recently when a letter from Debt Recovery Plus was opened asking for £160.
Thank you

Edit your post to remove information about who did what. Only ever refer to The Driver and The Keeper, who are two different people.
Do this now before you do anything else.
It is not a fine.
Next, send the blue template appeal from The Keeper to the PPC that you will find in the NEWBIES. Add a one liner that since the keeper was out of the country and was not the driver at the time of the alleged event, this is the first they have heard about this.
Complain to the landowner as either keeper or an occupant of the car if this is a viable option. (If the driver or the passenger had business on the site.)
Complain to your/the keeper's MP about this unregulated scam.
Ignore anything and everything from now on except real court papers. Post 4 of the NEWBIES explains why it is safe to ignore powerless debt collectors.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks0 -

Don't reveal the driver's identity. Edit your OP to remove details of the driver's identity
Only use the third party as in the driver did this/the keeper did that0 -

If you don’t like certain posters’ inputs you can actually ignore them by not rising to comments made. Fairly simple stuff.
If you can’t deal with it, how on earth are you going to cope with the aggressive, demanding letters from debt collectors (maybe even solicitors’ letters) that will be coming to your friend, potentially over the next 6 years?
Just think carefully about who might be able to help your friend before biting at anyone’s head! It is she who will need the help.
Break it to her gently!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. .

If this gets to court you will need to be absolutely precise and unambiguous in your wording.
Everyone here gives up their time for free to help others.
You may not necessarily understand everything you are being told, but I assure you it is with the best intentions. You need to think about what you have been told and then work out why you have been given that information rather than give a knee jerk reaction.I married my cousin.
