Penalty Notice Received While Practising in Station Car Park

I will inform APCOA and DRP about the address change to track any further correspondence from them. Can I safely ignore DRP's letter? Does APCOA never take someone to Small Claims Court?

What if APCOA takes it to Small Claims Court? If they do can I defend on assessor's inconsistency?

APCOA never sue anyone but the POPLA decisions are irrelevant to a defence.
They also CANNOT SUE in the small claims court over a penalty notice. Especially not a statute-barred PN. It's dead.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Even it they could that makes no difference at all, it is APCOA's claim not POPLAs

As CM says - it’s dead . Stop worrying about it .
ZZPS tried to use a small legal firm to make claims for penalty charges issued for parking at train stations in a civil court , it got thrown out because it’s the wrong court. We never saw another claim from this small fry for at least a year now .
Assessor’s inconsistency is irrelevant . They can make mistakes , but their decisions are not binding on you , POPLA don’t tell you that it must be paid if you lose - You have the option to fight the case in court if you wish .

And you have the option to ignore it, which you did, and you still will now.
You got it over the 6 months line. It is over: this penalty is as deceased as a Norwegian Blue. It is an ex-penalty.

I used to fancy Michael Palin when I was a teenager. Not now!

Thank you - edited; like the man in the orthopaedic footwear, I stand corrected.
My disappointment with Sir Michael came when attending his talk on Venezuela - he just read from his bloomin’ book!
