Parking eye hallmark airport hotel Scotland.

[Guest]

Hi Legalbeagles.
* * *
This may of been covered before however in short, recently received a bailiff letter from DCBL stating there was an unpaid parking charge of £170.00.
However the date i was at the hotel i stayed overnight and have receipts and logged into the parking eye at side of reception, i have contacted the hotel and just get fobbed off by them and emails and correspondence ignored, so have sent them an email asking them to send me a log in of my vehicle on the day in question, however were do i stand on this matter if they fob me off again? im 420 miles from the hotel so its not a case of popping in and asking to speak to someone and i know trying to speak to the bailiffs is probably going to be a bust, if anyone has any advice it will be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

There are no Bailiffs. DCBL may only act as a common or garden Debt Collector and ask you nicely to pay an Invoice for parking.

Thanks PLODDERTOM just thought I'd check, I wouldn't of minded but the fact i was a guest and paid the parking is a bit insulting, but like banging your head against a brick wall trying to explain to hallmark hotel

Hadn't realised this took place in Scotland so could be a little harder for them to try and do anything, I'm sure ostell will pop his head in and make comment

POFA doesn't* apply in Scotland so if they don't know the identity of the driver they can't hold the keeper liable*

Well, this is a rather unpleasant situation. If the amount is insignificant, it seems that it will be easier to pay and get rid of it. If we are talking about an impressive amount, I recommend that you make an appointment with a bailiff. Of course, I hope this is possible because it is evident that the situation is not easy. I am used to solving all controversial issues in this way. I usually make an appointment at one of the few business hotels in NYC with an affordable private boardroom close to the U.N. It always works, and I manage to solve the problem. I hope you will solve this without additional issues if you haven't solved it yet.

It would seem AI has a long, long way to go...
