Heathrow Drop Off PCN - forgot to pay, 2nd email asking for
keeper details

Hello,
I appealed the PCN using the following:
--- Quote ---
> Heathrow Parking PCN
> I am the registered keeper. APCOA cannot hold a registered
keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land that is
under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, APCOA will
be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because
Heathrow Airport is not 'relevant land'.
>
> If Heathrow Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable
under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift
and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not
pleaded, it is also not legally possible because APCOA is not
the Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never
attempts to be a penalty. It is created for APCOA's own profit
(as opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse)
and APCOA has relied on contract law allegations of breach
against the driver only.
>
> The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation
of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable.
APCOA have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

I have now received a second email asking for driver details.
Looks like the next email will be from Debt Recovery if I don't
reply.
Advice on how to proceed from here will be appreciated. My
situation is similar to that posted by CaptainG

/>- I suspect I might be getting a debt recovery letter if I do
not respond within 14 days.

They are fishing for the drivers details, do not provide them.

Thanks for your reply Dave,
Reading this forum, would the correct thing be to ignore any
future email/letter from Debt Recovery Plus saying unless I pay
up they will commence legal action?

Ignore anything from debt collectors, whose only power is to use
more and more red ink to try and frighten you into paying.
Do not ignore a Letter of Claim, but it’s been our experience
that APCOA doesn’t “do” court, and such a letter will come from
a solicitor rather than a debt collector.
