| Comment | You're right, private companies can't issue fines. (They're not like a parking ticket you'd get from a council warden.)
All they can do is issue invoices, and claim that you entered into a contract by parking there.
In Scotland they have to prove who the driver was (as a car can't form a contract...) whereas in England the companies are allowed to take it up with the registered keeper.
To enforce their invoices, the companies need to take you to court. They are not going to do that over a single ticket, but if you take the piss and amass dozens of tickets it can become worthwhile for them. |
