There is no such thing as keeper's liability in Scotland (yet)
Just received a letter from Horizon parking saying I exceeded my time limit when I parked in Tesco car park up at St Johnstone.
£70 fine reduced to £30 if paid within 28 days.
Anyone else had a letter as the car park was full of bears?
It doesn’t say what the time limit was but it took well over 30 minutes to get out because it was that busy.

I had a CCJ in 1992 and I lived in Glasgow at the time. It was for unpaid Bank of Scotland credit card which I'd missed the letters for as I was working away. I paid it off asap and it helped me massively as it meant the mortgage company looked upon me favourably when I was looking for a mortgage five years later.From what I understand, though I’m out the financial sector a few years now, Scotland doesn’t have County Courts, so no County Court Judgements. You can live in Scotland and be given a CCJ from and English court that will show up on your credit file. If a creditor wants to do the same thing in Scotland then it’s called a Decree, not a CCJ.
This is from the Scottish Courts & Tribunals website:
Money judgments and certificates of satisfaction FAQs
I have been told that I have a CCJ on my credit file. What does this mean?
Money judgments issued by sheriff courts in Scotland are called decrees. Decrees are the Scottish equivalent to money judgments, known as county court judgments or CCJs, in England and Wales.
Details of Scottish decrees are supplied by the sheriff courts to the Registry Trust. The Registry Trust maintain a public register containing all simple procedure, small claims and summary cause money decrees granted in the sheriff courts during the preceding six years. The Scottish Register also contains details of ordinary cause decrees dated 1st January 2010 onwards.
The Registry Trust notifies credit reference agencies of all decrees, recalls and dismissals on a regular basis and the credit reference agencies update your credit file accordingly.
One of the few sensible replies on the thread.Correct.
The people saying they aren’t enforceable are wrong. They could take you to court and win, but unless you’re into them for £1000s, they won’t.
People have been taken to court by them, but these morons were parking there every day for their work etc.
they might take you to court in scotland but the chances of them doing so are almost zero unless you have about 10 tickets then it becomes financially viableAre these enforceable in Scotland? Sure I’ve read that it’s best to completely ignore them, don’t try and contact them or appeal either.
You’re absolutely correct but all the same, outwith Boxing Day that car park is never anywhere near full. At best this is a “don’t do it again” ticket.I'm not getting on my high horse,
Tesco are directly opposite the stadium, it's not rocket science expecting them to keep their car park accessible for their customers is it?
Yes they are.Are these enforceable in Scotland? Sure I’ve read that it’s best to completely ignore them, don’t try and contact them or appeal either.
We are going round in circles here.Yes they are.
Make no mistake, it is a bill or charge.
However, you can choose not to pay. Like any other bill or charge.
E.g. Order and drink a pint then don’t pay for it. Same thing.
But, be under no illusion, you owe the money.

Must have been in England. We don’t issue CCJs hereMy mate never paid his hotel parking from a 3rd party company and ignored and ignored it and it became a CCJ and cost him K's. Not sure if this is in anyway the same though.
As a previous poster stated, only the police and council can issue enforceable fines in Scotland.We are going round in circles here.
It is a charge not a fine. The person driving the car has entered into a contract for parking services.
For it to be enforced, they have to take someone to court. They have to prove, on the balance of probability, that they have taken action against the correct person i.e the driver.
In my view, it is not reasonable to assume that the registered keeper or owner is the driver, therefore, do not enter into dialogue with them. As the majority here say, bin it and forget it. I would seriously doubt that they have any evidence which identifies the driver.

I was agreeing with your post. I take it that you agree that, whereas the charges are technically enforceable, there is still a requirement for the applicant to demonstrate that the correct respondent has been identified?Nice that you have read my post carefully and agreed with it.
Great minds think alike.
Happy to represent anyone pro bono if they get taken to court.
Firstly they are not Fines they are invoices. There are three ways to tackle theseJust received a letter from Horizon parking saying I exceeded my time limit when I parked in Tesco car park up at St Johnstone.

Not as black and white as you make out. I got an invoice for parking in an EMPTY retail park between 8 and 11.30pm with no charge machines as it was a free car park. All the shops were closed. The picture shows a number plate and nothing else not even an outline shadow. Where is the harm?People can't just park a car anywhere they want on someone else's land, if I park a car somewhere and get charged I pay it as it is the honest thing to do, the people providing the car park are providing a service the right thing to do is to pay for that service and not try and dodge payment.

Either your lecturer was wrong or it was years ago. There’s clear case law now on the enforceability of parking fines. It was a grey area for years but not any more. If you park then you’re deemed to have accepted the terms and formed a contract.There’s even ways to get out of it if they take you to court, but you’d need a lawyer that knows they’re stuff. We done a law module at Uni and the lecturer explained how these companies can be beaten if it goes to court but can I feck remember the tiny details

As far as I know it is important to NOT contact them. It is up to them to prove you were the driver when it could have been anyone. My mrs got them all the time, each letter and follow up binned. This applies to private carparks only, I think.Are these enforceable in Scotland? Sure I’ve read that it’s best to completely ignore them, don’t try and contact them or appeal either.
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahI would just pay it.
Some people seem to think that the right to roam includes car use, it doesn't, it only covers waking.
People can't just park a car anywhere they want on someone else's land, if I park a car somewhere and get charged I pay it as it is the honest thing to do, the people providing the car park are providing a service the right thing to do is to pay for that service and not try and dodge payment.

Fight, fight, fight.Stating the obvious, are you the forum bouncer?
Bin it but a word of warning to anyone who is a repeat offender to the same car park, a friend of mine used a similar car park for work every day and eventually was taken to court from a civil lawsuit as the fines and repeat tickets amounted up to to over 5 grand. They would only pursue court if the money gets up at this type of figure though.Just received a letter from Horizon parking saying I exceeded my time limit when I parked in Tesco car park up at St Johnstone.

They become more spaced out and increasingly threatening before finally stoppingHow long until these rats give up?
