How are you proceeding with the fine/debt you've got from the company?

The fine wasn't addressed to me, it was addressed to the Registered Keeper. Therefore that person has written back explaining they were not in charge of the vehicle at the time og the alleged contravention, and can prove theor whereabouts to be somewhere other than the car park in question.
As of yet we have not had a response.
The law states the "contract" can only exist between the land owner (or a 3rd Party acting on their behalf) and the driver at the time, and not the registered keeper.
Secondly, the car park in question doesn't belong to the site, it belongs to a financing company that sub-lets the land, therefore no contract exists in the first place. They literally have no grounds to base their case
