APCOA - Back to Front

Hi All
I've had a good read through the newbie thread but I have a question on how best to start this case. As it appears things seem to be back to front.
Long and short of it - I moved house in April. Driving licence etc was updated but appears I missed updating the V5C (i'm doing it now).
Subsequently I received a letter from "Debt Recovery Plus" addressed the the Registered Keeper (me) and sent to my old address (redirection got it to my new address) - Offence was parking without displaying a valid proof of payment. This is the first I have heard of anything about this (nothing received from APCOA or on windscreen etc). Offence was end of EDIT: May in a station car park.
I assume it is best for me to contact APCOA in the first instance (as the registered keeper) to appeal (as the RK) with the expectation that it will be refused/told it is with Debt Recovery. I should then push for POPLA code. I can then submit a case around railway byelaws etc.
The Driver at the time luckily DOES have a receipt for the full day parking - however the receipt shows it is "not a parking ticket" so imagine they will try to weasel out of it. It is for the full day amount on the day in question so it cant be refused on a "you overstayed" grounds etc and the driver did genuinely pay to stay in the car park.
Any advice on how best to start would be appreciated

Too late for any appeal and popla code
Email a data rectification notice to the DPO at Apcoa with the correct address for service of papers, then let it time out at the end of September, playing ping pong
No inferring about who was driving
Ignore drpl0 -
Will do, got the month wrong above though - so will be November before it times out.
No idea why I never got anything from APCOA - guess they may not have used my name on the letter so it wont have been redirected?
I guess there is no way to get them to reconsider an appeal0 -
Do the rectification notice first
Appeal as keeper using the blue text template in the normal manner
Then play ping pong
No revealing the driver0
