Heathrow drop of appeal rejected

Hello

i have had an appeal rejected from ACPOA (which doesn’t surprise me.)

I appealed the PCN because I actually paid the drop off fee, but they are justifying the PCN say I entered the zone twice.

The circumstances:

I drove into the drop of point at 16:57 however could ot find a space. The arrows directed me round to the exit barrier so I exited and re-entered instantly at 16:59 (2 mins afterward first entry) I didn’t want to double park as this would be dangerous and obstruct other vehicles.

The joke is the have responded accepting I paid the entry fee also confirming the time I entered and re-entered. But they are not accepting my appeal.

i have had a look through the forum and understand there is a newbie template for these appeals that I should of used first. Obviously, it’s too late for that but could someone point out where this template is so I can use if this happens again.

Also, can I get some advice on what I should do next they are now saying I need to appeal to popla

Thank you

    Just copy the other one right next to your thread right now.  No link needed. I literally just replied on it so it's just under yours on the thread list.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    There is another thread (it was) right below yours with a similar title; what @Coupon-mad is advising is that you find and copy (not copy and paste but copy the advice) that one.
