Forgot to pay drop off fee at Manchester Airport

I forgot to pay the £5 drop off fee when dropping friends off at Manchester Airport a week ago. Just gone on website now and won’t let me select the date to pay. I know it had to be paid in 48 hours but genuine mistake.
not had invoice yet but expecting one, should I pay the £60 or try challenging it? Seems an outrageous amount for a 2min stop when I genuinely forgot.
Don’t want to engage APOCA to ask for leniency as they’ll likely just say pay up.

Do not identify who could have been driving, never use terms like I did this or that or He, she mother, uncle aunt sister and so onTheres a simple reply somewhere on here that tells APCOA to go forth and multiply regarding the chargeFrom the Plain Language Commission:
