APCOA Stansted drop off parking charge

Options
I have read all of the newbies thread, tens of other threads, and all related information to my case that I could find here.

I have recieved a parking charge from APCOA, due to an alleged offense occuring at the drop off zone at stansted airport. They recently changed the payment time from 14 days to midnight the same day to catch people out, and (allegedly) they caught me. Having had previous run in's with the same company, last time i appealed using the following format:

This is an appeal by the registered keeper - No driver details will be given. Please do NOT try the usual Group Nexus Trick of asking for driver details in order to get around the fact your NTK does not comply with POFA. As there is no keeper liability then liability cannot flow from the driver to the keeper and thus is an auto win @ POPLA. Please therefore cancel the notice or issue a POPLA code where you will auto withdraw

Does this format still work for this charge? Since it is on airport land, and the signage is much clearer, and the NTK is a newer format that my previous letters from them for other alleged offenses did not have and their NTK might now be POFA compliant.

Fyi huge respect to everybody on here, all three of my other APCOA alleged offenses i appealed and i won all three to my delight at the first time of asking.

I look forward to hearing from you all, all the best.

    Yes that's fine. Maybe add at the end
    "Ps it's not relevant land"

    It can never comply with pofa as it is airport land

    This has just happened to me. I had paid for parking but went the wrong way and ended up driving thru the drop off bit. I didn’t even stop and today I’ve received a fine. 
    I will send an appeal with the information  given - thank you. I don’t have photos tho.
    Is there anything else  I need before I send the appeal? Thank you

    No. Add nothing.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    @RandomUsername12 do you have an update on your fine status? I've just received a PCN from APCOA as I forgot to pay for pick up within the time frame.

    They didn't have a fine. Nor do you.

    Just use the appeal wording in the Heathrow Gatwick drop off group thread. It's the same.
