Heathrow parking charge paid one day late but I could still select my date

Hi
Drove friends to airport on Saturday and then had an event late that evening and forgot to pay it on Sunday.
I remember today(Monday) and could still choose to select Saturday when entering my details, so paid £6 online, after paying I then researched how long you had to pay and it said upto 12pm day after visiting, am I now going to recieve a fine as I technically paid a day late, I'm even more annoyed that it let me select the Saturday as now if the fine comes through I will be paying them £46 as I've already payed £6, they really don't give you long to pay the charge 😡

There's no fine, only an invoice for breach of contract, but you won't be paying them anything.

Heathrow Airport is not "relevant land" and there is no keeper liability as a result.

If their system let you select Saturday then payment has been made and this should be pointed out in the keeper appeal that you will be sending, the same appeal that refuse their invitation to name the driver (which is the only way they can find out who that was).

Go and look at the other airport threads and you will see these charges are easy to dispute.
