Manchester Airport Debt Recovery Letter
DIR By: Sam27

The registered keeper did not respond to the initial PCN (they
cannot remember when it was received so don't have a copy).
They have now received a debt recovery letter, can you please
advise how to proceed? Should they ignore it and wait for a LoC?

You should have responded with a simple appeal telling APCOA
that you are the registered keeper and you are under no
obligation identify the driver. As the location is covered by
byelaws, it is not relevant land for the purposes of PoFA and so
there can be no Keeper liability. They should therefore chase
the driver, whoever that may be.
That would have been the end of the matter. However, by ignoring
that, you are now in debt recovery mode. You ca safely ignore
any debt collector letters and no one needs to know about them.
Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and
persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up
out of ignorance and fear.
APCOA will not litigate and so, all you can do now is continue
to ignore all the debt collector letters until they give up and
go away.

Thank you so much for responding, it is appreciated and a
relief. I will tell the driver to appeal should there be a next
time.

As per b789's response, the registered keeper should appeal. The
whole appeal rests on the fact that APCOA don't know who is
driving and accordingly cannot hold the registered keeper
liable.

Got it, registered keeper not the driver, if there is a next
time. For this one the debt collection letters will be binned as
it is too late to appeal.
