Group thread: Heathrow Gatwick Manchester & other Airport drop-off PCNs - easy: how to appeal & win

Yes. Except you appeal as the Hirer, not the Keeper once you receive the NtH.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.. Does this appeal work when it's a lease car and the lease company passes liability to the individual lessee (not a business), referring to them as the 'nominated person'? 

Provided you have received a Notice to Hirer direct from the PPC (in your name and address) then yes. If it's simply the lease company forwarding a copy of what they've received from the PPC, asking you to 'deal with it', then that won't work. Formal transfer, followed by a personal NtH, is the essential  step to getting that cancellation.

Hi, hopefully someone can help with my parking charge problem. On the 3rd September we was on our way to the Manchester airport Meet and Greet, I took the wrong turning and went down the drop off zone, once I realised my mistake I drove through without stopping (a total time of 1 minute 38 seconds, this is confirmed on the parking charge) When I got home 2 weeks later the parking charge arrived. I tried to log-on the appeals webpage but it didn't recognise the parking charge number, therefore we sent an email (still have a copy) and fully explained my error, I requested a prompt reply, we have not received a reply. Today I received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus demanding I pay £170 by the 4th November. How should I proceed? Many thanks in advance.

Ignore DRP. See the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, fourth post, which tells you how to deal with debt crawlers. They'll give up eventually and pass the file back to APCOA (who will have already given up). Then no more.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for you reply.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.. Does this appeal work when I have ticked the box that I was the driver?....also if i have a auto pay account?

I received a pcn from NPC for Gatwick drop off. I wasn't aware payment were not taken from my auto pay account. I was not sent an email or anything. My appeal was rejected, instead they said i had altered my number plate or splayed with reflective paint when I questioned having auto pay account. They want me to pay £60  or go to Popla? But then saying i will have to pay £100 if i loose the case with Popla! Also, that if i pay the £60 , Popla wont accept my appeal? I am confused and upset because it wasn't my fault their system didn't take the payment from my account. I haven't had any issue from other airports where i have similar auto pay account.

I have few days left to make a decision, please any advise or signposting will be much appreciated 🙏

Nothing to be upset about
No decision to make
Dont pay- or bother with POPLA
ignore Debt Recovery Plus letters and get on with your life
next time use the proper template appeal

Thank you both. I wish I had seen this forum before my appeal😔

Only last question.... If I decide to ignore,  would this kind of sh*t  not get added on to my credit report?
