APCOA PCN Manchester Airport Drop-off

JD3691

Hi Guys,

I recently received a PCN notice from APCOA about a drop-off at Manchester Airport. I know you can usually ignore APCOA, but I don't want it to escalate into a CCJ and affect my credit score.

I've also been advised to appeal to APCOA, not admitting to who the driver was, and also asking them to provide the information on relevant byelaws that detail APCOA’s right in terms of transferring liability of a parking charge from the driver of the vehicle to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

And then appealing to POPLA on the grounds that there is no registered keeper liability. 

Can somebody let me know my chances of appealing on these grounds? Thank you.

Your chances are very good as long as the driver's identity is never revealed.

Appeal to APCOA using the template in blue text from the sticky Announcement for NEWBIES, and add a one liner that since airport bylaws apply, the keeper cannot be held liable.
Alternatively, just appeal using the one line I mentioned above.

If it is rejected then appeal to PoPLA using all the points available to you from the third post of the NEWBIES making not-relevant land, airport bylaws, no keeper liability your point 1.

Thank you! Is there any way the driver's identity could be revealed? Would APCOA go to any lengths to determine who was driving, or is it essentially just my word against theirs?

What lengths would you expect them to go to?

How on earth can they determine who the driver was unless YOU tell them, it could have been me?

Just read the Heathrow Gatwick Drop off group thread & win by using that appeal. Dead easy.
