Stansted Airport Express Drop PCN /APCOA
DIR By: Fawkesu3

---------------------------------------------------------
Good afternoon
i used the stansted Airport drop off zone back in July and
forgot to make the payment by the end of the next day. After
numerous attempts to contact APCOA via their "customer service"
(basically replies from AI Bot and eventually a human)I have now
got the PCN number to appeal. I have not got the physical letter
as have been abroad since just after the time this happened. My
partner is the registered keeper and unfortunately in email
correspondence I have stated that I was the driver so from other
posts I have seen on the forum (such as this one
apcoa-stansted-airport-drop-off-pcn/msg82644/#msg82644
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/apcoa-stansted-airport-drop-off-pcn/msg82644/#msg82644<br
/>) it looks like I have blown any chance of an appeal from the
RK
point of view by not identifying the driver :'(
Any suggestions appreciated! thanks

Just search the forum for
“Stansted APCOA”
and you will find lots of appeals on the basis of “not relevant
land” which should see APCOA cancel.
However if you have identified the driver thay may well not
cancel; you should also see that APCOA don’t “do” court so you
should just ignore them if so.

Thank you.
So the appeal could be a copy/paste of the following and take a
chance they do not link up the appeal with the interactions with
apcoa customer service about the driver?
Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ______) for
vehicle registration mark _______, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I am appealing as the
registered keeper of the vehicle. There is no obligation for me
to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act").
Even if you were seeking to do so, as London Stansted Airport is
not "relevant land" as defined by The Act you are unable to
recover the charge from me, the keeper.
I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and
look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been
cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue
a POPLA code.
Yours,

Nothing to lose - they'll either cancel, ignore it, or reply and
call your bluff with previous correspondence!

IMO, As nothing has been addressed to you, they could just
ignore. You're a stranger in these matters and cannot just
interject yourself in these proceedings.
Your partner was either served with a Notice to Keeper (or
whatever other title is in vogue for APCOA's begging letters) or
not.
Your appeal is incoherent, sorry.
You could not claim to have received a NTK, because your name
and address would betray that you couldn't because yours isn't
the name and address supplied by DVLA and which would be on the
NTK.
Anyway, apparently you have submitted this 'appeal' claiming to
be keeper when you are not etc. Let's see what transpires.
