Thanks for all the help, I will get the letter sent today and update you on any responses we get. Just one more question - should my wife state in the letter that she was not the driver at the time?

My wife has recieved letters from a company called parking eye refering to a parking charge notice for parking contravention in a shopping centre service yard. She has now recieved a letter from debt recovery plus ltd for higher amount which says if she does not pay the case will be passed to the creditor's solicitor .having read previous posts on this and other forums i have told her to ignore it but she is really worried as the most recent letter states ' court action against you could seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in the future. 'we live in scotland and the car is registered here, she was not the driver of the vehicle at the time. Having visited the site in question the signs that are in place cannot be seen until you enter the site and as it was dark at the time of the visit cannot be read until you are right in front of them. Can anyone of and guidance on the situation in scotland?
