Stansted Airport Drop Off APCOA PCN

Well, I'll be dammed! Just when I thought my story with Stansted Airport was over, not having passed even 24h after winning the battle with DCBLegal, see this link:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6486328/dcblegal-claim-form-met-parking-services-ltd-stansted-help-please-transferred-so-far-away/p16

My wife welcome's me home to yet another PCN, this time from APCOA at the Stansted Parking drop off. Somebody forgot to tell me and thought that the "lovely" guys of Stansted had decided that now drop off was free of charge! 

True is the drop off took less than 5 mins (3min 48 sec as per the PCN), at 6am in the morning. Yet here we are with a brand new PCN for 100£!!! 60£ if you pay promptly. Worst thing is that we are local residents to the area, and under the local scheme the charge is 1£!!!! I might kill someone for not saying anything........

Something I've noticed already, PCN arrived today (21st May) contravention on the 5th May, so it's already over the 14 days by POFA. 

Is there anyway to appeal this ones? Aghhhhhhhhh........not again............

Thank you for the help!!!!!!

    Yep. Use the appeal in the Heathrow Gatwick drop off group thread.

    Impossible for you to lose.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi Coupon-mad, as usual, great support and really helpful. Thank you for picking this up so quickly. Appeal sent by the group thread wording. Let's see if we can sort out this mess. 

    Thank you!
  • Hey, just a quick question, if the parking charge was sent apparently end of May, I was away and received it only end of June and now I received debt recovery plus letter, can I still find some way to ask them to keep off, in Heathrow Gatwick drop off tread?
