Manchester Airport APCOA fine incoming

Hi All,
I've recently started driving for Uber (3 months). Ive made dozens of trips to Manchester Airport and paid every single drop off and pick up fee. However, on Friday just gone I had two drop offs and one pick up and completely forgot to pay these ones. I realised yesterday (Sunday), logged in, but the visits had been removed from their system, so I was unable to pay. I called their office this morning, but just got an automated message advising me to wait for their correspondence through the post. I know I'm late paying these ones but I'm trying to pay and am now being prevented from doing so.
A further issue, I rent the car from a taxi leasing company and therefore it will be them that get the 3 letters for this. A possible total of £300 in fines. They will then advise the company it was myself driving.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I would personally tell the taxi leasing firm just to email the PCNs to you on receipt , you can then appeal them in their name (using the standard airport appeal text) and get them cancelled
Easy route2 -

Any help will be greatly appreciated.I don't believe they are bound by law to name who was driving the car. My daughter had this a few months ago. We are just not telling them who was driving and they cannot do anything.It's just a way for the parking firm to make £300, it's a scam. Will you be paying £300?
