Heathrow Airport terminal 4 drop off pcn

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum.

I recently received a PCN by post from Apcoa for driving into drop off zone Heathrow Airport terminal 4.

My case is i was going to short stay car park but I accidentally took a wrong turn and drove into drop off zone without making a stop or dropping off anyone, I just drove through around then went back into short stay car park.

Maybe a week later I received by post a parking charge notice from Apcoa to the registered keeper stating that I used the drop off zone without making a payment and the contravention is a breach of term and conditions of use of facility, signs were clearly displayed throughout the area.

I haven't yet appealed yet, thought I would do some research online before making a appeal and I came across this forum with similar threads like mine. I read some threads stating not to name the driver and use the template 'one size fits all' on the newbie thread for a easy win.

Can anyone please advice me how I can go about this. Do I just copy and paste everything from the template and should I add anything extra like upload a picture of the car park ticket showing that I am a genuine customer. 

Your comments are much appreciated and I look forward to your advice.

    Same as all he other APCOA HEATHROW ones.

    Search the forum!  Dead easy to kill off.  No need for any threads about these; they are all the same.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi coupon-mad thanks for your quick response. 

    I've searched the forum and found few threads that I relate to. I am confused, do I copy and paste the 'one size fits all' text in blue on the appeals page field and that will do?

    Nope.

    Read recent APCOA HEATHROW threads. There are dozens.

    Dear APCOA,

    I am appealing as the registered keeper of the vehicle. As I cannot be held liable for the PCN because it is not PoFA relevant, please go and chase the driver.

    Love and kisses,

    The Registered Keeper
