Four years ago I traveled from England to visit a friend in Glasgow. The Antonine Shopping Centre said they could not comment on the matter as it relates to a period that was "under previous ownership and management and does not relate to ourselves". Unfortunately, these charges are enforceable and recoverable if they show they had the correct signs before she entered and she overstayed. There are a number of possible arguments you could use, both during the appeal process or in Court. I have looked ParkMaven up and it appears to me they are a software provider for Car Parks, so I am not sure if they are actually the people who have sent you the charge. I received a Parking Charge Notice with issue date of 26th March 2020 for over staying in private car park in Glasgow on 9th March 2020. Would this fall under the landowner failing to offer Terms & Conditions of parking? This case is not subject to High Court or Baillif action. That would mean disputing the level of the charge with them and waiting to see if they took you to Court and then defending the action on the basis you think the amount is punitive or excessive.

What a court would look for is the provider offered parking services on certain terms and conditions and these were made clearly visible and you impliedly accepted them by driving onto the lot and leaving your car. ._2Gt13AX94UlLxkluAMsZqP{background-position:50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;position:relative;display:inline-block} Enable or disable cookies again to leave a Court order in Scotland debt!
