In Scotland, only a court can impose a fine. The onus is on the carpark owner to prove that you were the driver of the car and they can only do that if you tell them you were. You are also entitled to refuse to say who drove the car. Ignore (but keep) any and all letters from them and if they phone you, refer them the BT's Nuisance Call Unit. Tell them that you have no idea what they are talking about and that you are making a formal complaint.
You owe them nothing, they are crooks who rely on people's fear of prosecution..AND, they are invariably English in origin and have some very dodgy owners (cue: Godfather music).
Finally, WHY were you parking there and why, if you have a car did you shop in Greenock? Seriously Horn, anymore of this and you'll be sent to bed without a piece.
Oh and if they should suggest that you are going to get a negative cfredit score for not paying, laugh because none of the credit reference agencies would piss on them. It's a scam....

That's ok I will get the milk out the butter one way or another. Happy memories of the days of a buttered piece with some sugar, to tide you over until T time, better than malt any day of the week, however do you think I could have some of the NHS concentrated orange ?.

Fortunately, I hated the taste of syrup of figs but unfortunately, our family doctor had a thing about giving children a wee dose of, "opening medicine". My mother regularly tried to have me manure Renfrewshire by repeatedly dosing me with laxatives.
And sammy, I can confess to taking sips of whisky from my dad's decanter, that's probably where I got my taste for it!!!
