I did not receive an initial parking charge request from Apcoa Parking Uk Ltd and so missed the appeal period. Can anyone direct me to the thread which is appropriate for this problem.

Then received a debt collection letter from Debt Recovery plus and didn't pay that either (by early November). I have read the newbies thread post 4 and it says to just ignore.
