APCOA Penalty Notice
Comments

I went back and checked the wording I used in the appeal. This is all I said.Parking was purchased online using your app. The receipt is attached. On reading the detail on the receipt, the location appears incorrect. However, it was your app which applied the location to the purchase.
Like many folks, I wish that I had consulted this forum first, but I simply didn't even imagine that having actually paid for parking wouldn't be a sufficient explanation !0 -
I think it is pretty clear that the 'driver' is the person who parks the car. The BPA code of practice defines Driver as ' The person driving the vehicle at the time the alleged breach of parking terms and conditions occurred'. And the penalty notice says that the breach was ' Failure to purchase a valid parking permit '.0

In which case you are a third party stranger to the case and have no legal right to appeal to Apcoa or to Popla, if you are neither the keeper nor the driver1

And provided the driver is never identified by the keeper to these cowboys, it will after a few months result in "debt collector" letters that offer deals to stop them recommending to their client to take legal action.
Be ready for them, they might stress your family and make you think the bailiffs will be next!
As mentioned here and in other threads, the legal action can't happen except within 3 months and there's no financial gain for them to do it as they don't keep the money they would win. Plus, it has to come from the railway operator so apcoa can't even instigate the legal action.
Total fraud on their part to suggest or imply they can.1 -
APCOA will huff and puff but don't have enough wind to blow up a balloon don't get to stressed out about it.
