I would be grateful for some advice on a Heathrow APCOA drop-off
parking charge penalty.
the alleged contravention and are no longer UK residents.
Terminal 3 drop-off charge on 02/05/2026.
discovered the notice, so both the 14-day discount period and
the 28-day appeal period have expired.
The notice is from APCOA acting on behalf of Heathrow Airport
and states:
payment".
Additional Facts
My son, his wife, and children travelled to the airport by taxi
(which can be confirmed with receipt). The driver of my sons
car followed the taxi into the drop zone - and then proceeded to
the short stay car park - and a £20 short-stay parking charge
was paid before leaving (also to APCOA) at the car park ticket
machine. The driver was not aware that the £7 drop off charge
would be additional to car parking. Evidence of the £20 payment
to APCOA is also available.
I can also provide documentation showing that my son has
emigrated and now resides in Dubai if required.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, write to APCOA (as your son, with his agreement, or get him
to do it himself) and give their Data Protection Officer his
updated address for service which should be used for future
correspondence.
They may tell you that a non-UK address is invalid, or
something, but thats not true, it is what it is. They can
pursue him in Dubai as much as they want. Do not include your
name or your UK address in any way.

A slight aside, but has the vehicle since been sold and/or the
registered keeper details changed?

Not sold, but DVLA have now been notified of change of
registration address - to his parents' home (my home).
Apparently vehicle has to be registered to a UK address.
