Hello,
Thank you first of all for taking the time to read this. About 9 months ago the driver received a PCN from Highview Parking, who overstayed in a free retail car park by 31 minutes as they visited multiple shops there. They have kept the receipts which confirm the times and spending in 2 shops. The driver was away when the PCN letter arrived so had no option but to pay the 90 pound upon return or leave it. Unfortunately the driver was advised by others to ignore it and as a student nurse who didn't have the money to pay at the time, she decided to bury her head in the sand and hoped it would go away....much to her regret now. Several letters arrived which were ignored until they stopped which led to the wishful thought that they had given up. Recently a letter was sent to the driver's old address, it is from SCS Law. It is not known how long this letter has been at this old address and it so far remains unopened. Should the letter be opened? or should the previous flatmate be asked to return to sender it as it was sent to the wrong address? The driver is very unsure of what to do next and would be grateful for any advice regarding this mistake. The driver is still a student nurse and therefore won't be able to pay hundreds of pounds for court fees etc. Thank you for your help. |

No more head in the sand,
This should be dealt with as it could lead to a CCJ against you. Regulars will be along to help. |

Provided that Highview/SCS don't know who the driver was, it should be easy to defeat. Highview do not use POFA so no keeper liability.

They have never received a response to any of their letters so no driver has been acknowledged nor did I file any appeal against them. They used an ANPR camera which does show a picture of the front of the car (from a distance). You can't make out any person sitting in the car from the image so would be hard to identify the driver I guess unless they have clearer images that they haven't put in the letter. Any advice on what the next steps would be? Thanks again. This post has been edited by Lily2019: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 - 19:03 |

Pity it was not dealt with at the time as the first step would have been to go to the shops and try to get them to cancel the PPN.
