In January I went to meet a client at the Marriott hotel in Glasgow to pick up some paperwork. I pulled into the front of the hotel, saw my client, spoke for a minute or two, got in my car, turned around and left. I was aware there was a barrier to go through to go into the car park, but I did not stop long enough to park, and did not even go into the car park. A week or two later I received a parking fine for not paying as I should, complete with photos showing my car entering and leaving the premises (but not the actual car park). Anyway, I thought that the ticket is not enforceable so did not even bother to enter a discussion about whether I had used the car park or not, and simply decided to ignore the letter. As I expected, I have over the months received increasingly threatening letters pursuing the unpaid fine. I have been ignoring these, but I am beginning to get less comfortable as the letters get stronger. I assume that is their tactic, and I should continue to ignore them, but can someone in the know advise me? The company sending the fine and subsequent letters are based in England, but I assume that they understand Scottish law on the matter....
TIA
