Ukpc Parking Ticket
My partner got issued with a "parking charge" yesterday at Braeahed Shopping Centre, Glasgow. She mistakenly parked in a disabled space that she thought was also for mother and child.
Are these tickets legally enforceable, I have read various threads saying to ignore tickets issued by private companies but most are in England, is this the same advice for Scotland?

Disabled Parking bays aren't some money-making scam.
They're there for a good reason,they're very clearly marked. If you choose to abuse them & you get caught the least you can do is pay the fine.
As I seem to be in a minority of 2 I'd better not say what I'd like to do to able-bodied people that use them.

The car hire company are not responcible for paying the parking charge , only the driver is. The parking co will write to the car owners ( hire company) and ask for payment, they may give details of who was driving but possibly they may not do so. In your situation I would ignore the parking charge and if the car hire company ask about it just say , you did not see any ticket on the car . The parking company then have to prove a ticket was issued which will be impossible , someone other than the driver could have removed the ticket.
I agree about not using disabled spaces but in this case only the parking company will profit by paying the charge it will do nothing to aid disabled people .

the method of a fine is used to punish people for wrong doing.
You admitted to doing wrong but don't want to pay the fine.
If you (and everyone else) follows this logic, it then means that disabled bays are used by able bodied people, thus depriving disabled people from an 'easier' life.
I sincerely hope that you (or a member of your family) never get a terminal illness or serious disability, but if you do, remember this moment when YOU chose to cheat the system.

This is NOT a fine , it is an invoice by a private company for parking in the wrong place or wrong time. If it was a fine I would be telling them to pay up.
The cash from a fine goes to the public purse and helps pay costs which would otherwise be funded by the taxpayer. The cash from this just increases the profits of a private company.

Can't believe this has gone into a second page.
For the moralistic among you, the lady in question made an honest mistake in a mix up over a car park space. Have you never made a similar mistake?
For the poster of the question, as advised by others simply ignore ALL letters, which invariably dry up within a few months. There will be mentions of court, bailiffs etc(generally with capital letters to accentuate and make them stand out on the page) which never come to fruition.

Another argument to the case for NOT ignoring the letters is that some companies DO take people to court
