The disaster that is Edinburgh Airport, gets worse and worse.
Hate the place.
It is indeed truly awful.Hate the place.
s running Edinburgh airport deserve being locked up.Welcome to Scotland / it’s £5 for a trolley and £5 for your friends / family to pick you up, stopping for 30 seconds in Scotland ? Well it’s going to cost you ....
or why not pay £30 for a very short cab ride?
or £5 for the bus?
Welcome to Edinburgh.
We love tourists - we bleed them dry,

I’ve had the family pick me up dozens of times in the drop-off area because the pick-up zone is punishingly expensive if you overstay your welcome.
These airport idiots are the authors of their own misfortune with recirculating traffic. If collections were free up to 1hr and drop offs up to 5 minutes there would be no issues at all apart from that doesn't bring in HUGE revenues from a captive audience. Wenkers of the highest order the lot of them.

they have photographic evidence of who was driving. they may look suspiciously like the the registered keeper.......
my biggest concern is- i genuinely didn’t know i had done anything wrong! i went in to what i believed was the pick up/ drop off area, paid my £2 and drove off. this was back in june and it only popped through the door today.
i’m also reluctant to pay because i know i have been to the airport another 2 times since! if i even thought i’d chanced something or taken a risk i’d say- fair cop. but i honestly didn’t have a clue i’d done anything wrong
You could try contacting the airport and see if they will get it cancelledmy biggest concern is- i genuinely didn’t know i had done anything wrong! i went in to what i believed was the pick up/ drop off area, paid my £2 and drove off. this was back in june and it only popped through the door today.

Have they been having lessons off Skankchester Airport? Disgusting horrible place from start to finish on any holiday, horrible "customer experience" as they like to call it nowadays
Agreed, have not flown from here in years but had the misfortune too do so recently. Every opportunity to fleece the passengers out of money then they took it. Even down to paid for luggage trolleys which is a particularly low blow. Shouldn't this sort of thing be part of an airports basic service - you know an easy way for a passenger to get their luggage (when it finally arrives) to their onward transport? Dont; we already pay for this through our ticket tax/airport levy?The airports main focus these days seems to be on retail rather than convenient passenger transport. The strange thing is that the lengthy queues in security mean I never have time for any retail - just grab a quick coffee and then rush to the gate. Ah, but there a solution to that, pay £10 or similar for a slightly faster security ticket. Utter madness!
Go here and ask experts ,and avoid bar stool lawyers and insults

Are the terms and conditions clearly displayed BEFORE you enter the zone? Displayed so you can read them in safety without impeding other traffic?
If not all of that then ignore.
That's exactly the thought that crossed my mind.If not all of that then ignore.
But then, Im not wired to go full on mental like some people, just because the scenario involves private land and a parking company.
OP
Tell them to take the matter up with the driver as in Scotland they cannot hold the registered keeper liable. Of course they have no idea of the driver name so it wont go any further.
Dont fall for the bluff about bye-laws either because bye-laws cannot be enforced by a private company.
Have a look on google for examples for John Lennon Airport (VCS also operate there) in Liverpool, Newcastle Airport and you will realise it is a complete scam. They claim it is to maintain security at the airport but seriously do you think a would be terrorist is bothered if he gets a £100 demand in the post 2 weeks after he has tried to do something

OP
As pavarotti said things are different in Scotland and POFA 2012 does not apply
My advice to anuyone who gets a PPC invoice is to
DO NOT contact the PPC UNTIL
you have put this up on pepipoo.com on the private parking thread or on Money saving Expert forum
BUT DO NOT identify the driver..just saw the driver did this..... the driver saw that NOT I me My wife. my cousin the dog just the driver
See what they have to say in fact this my post to odell earlier today
THEN
Get on to either MSE or pepipoo.com ( Both highly despised by BV72 lol)
And do following
Put up exactly what has happened since day 1 WITHOUT indicating who driver was)
ie The DRIVER parked here..the DRIVER saw that... etc
Where it happened
When it happened
If a notice was affixed to the vehicle
IF not WHEN you received to letter ( dates are important)
Follow the instructions on how to put up pics on pepipoo and redact personal information and any ref nos
They will advise the best course of action
What they will not do is any paperwork for you, that is your job, but will give you links to look at if there has been similar cases
IF the Letter IAS appear anywhere DO NOT EVER send them anything
What should happen is that the PPC send you a POPLA code and then you can have a VERY good chance of getting it quashed
A lot of PPC cannot follow the rules laid down in the POFA 2012 Act and as such lose a lot of the weight of the law, cases like this are thrown out at POPLA
Good chance pavarotti and Steve S11 will soon spot this and add some comments
At then end on the day pepipoo and MSE are there to help you save some money.
IF you have a good case they will help
IF you are 'bang to rights' they will tell you to pay
IF you start telling fibs etc, questioning there advice, thinking you know better, they will drop you like a hot brick
BUT IT is your money you can spend a few hours trying to save 100.00 or you can roll over and pay up, and keep these buggers in business as it is the weak willed and easily frightened people that keep them in business
Have a look at a recent post where they guy got a ticket ripped up
It is your choice. i can only tell you where you can get assistance ( and please ignore all the nay sayers that will undoubtedly come on here) if the PPC are in the wrong, WHY should you pay them ?
I have no problem with people saying thanks but no thanks. It is your money... not mine!! lol ( as an aside, i had an overstay in a Britannia car park earlier this year, just used a template letter form 'ostell' on pepipoo.com and got a cancellation back by return so it is worth the effort)

OP
I have just seen the dates on the letter thewy sent
If you can spin this out for another three weeks with a few questioning letters IT MAY ( not sure on Scottish law) run out of time for prosecution by the land owners under the trespass rule only Lamdowners can do this not a PPC.... BV72 will confirm
It may be worth writing to the PPC as the keeper enquiring if they are operating under by-laws in which case the above applies ,If same rules as in England. BUT check up on existing cases on the pepipoo site
Again dont sit on it get onto pepioo and ask what they would do. You could be sitting on a golden ticket and to do nothing ( which advice ceased to be applicable since POFA 2012 came into effect) is very unsound advice
Again please ask on pepipoo or MSE (coupon mad is preety good on there) to see if they can help
Once it gets to LBA it could be a slippery slide down for you.
Again at the end of the day you do what you want, but i would certainly get some free advice from people who know a fair bit about the small print on these companies
