    Try it and let us know please. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Every time. Literally 100%.

    Hi all.

    I have received a notice in the post from Apcoa for a charge relating to Manchester airport drop off. I am the hirer of the vehicle and the lease company emailed me a while ago to say they had provided my details to Apcoa when they received the PCN. I intend to appeal using the template provided on this thread (with an addendum to say I am the hirer and keeper for the purposes of correspondence) but when I search for the PCN on the Apcoa website it says it can't be found. I tried searching for it when the lease company originally emailed me as well but it couldn't be found then either. The contravention date was in September.
    Should I write to them via recorded post instead? I feel like this might be a tactic to stop you from paying or appealing inside the 14 day window!

    Why have you gone to the APCOA website instead of waiting for your NTH to arrive then appealing as hirer? Sounds like you haven't got a NTH yet.

    You can only appeal when your NTH arrives. Did the lease company have your up to date address? Hope so.
