APCOA PCN Heathrow drop off

verseddonegal

Background:

I recently dropped off family at Terminal 5.  I did not realize I could not pay on site, and then I assumed I would receive a £5 bill which I would pay when I got the bill.  Instead I received a £40/£80 PCN instead.

I came on here and read what I could find.

I copied and submitted the blue text from the NEWBIES thread (and declined to name the driver), so hopefully that works.

If not, I have the POPLA wordage loaded into a PDF and ready to go.

I did come across some threads of people saying APCOA rejected their appeal but failed to notify them and failed to give them a POPLA number for further appeal - is there any way to head off that type of scenario before it materializes?

Grateful for this forum, and I hope it can help me save some money.  Lord knows I need it!

You've posted on the Consumer Rights forum, I think you want the Parking Tickets one.

This is the Consumer Rights forum, so probably not best suited - there's a dedicated parking forum for this. 
The only issue I can see with the story is that the signage is pretty clear how to pay, and how long you have to pay it - no parking company invoices by post.

Sorry I will try to find the right place.  I don't see an option to delete this post.  I'm clearly a noob 😔
