    Obviously it still works.

    I'm not sure why posters are doubtful and why not just read the Airport Drop Off Group thread instead of posting here? There's no need for posts about these cases.

    Any template saying "non-POFA, innit" works.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi again more advice please. I got reply from Apoca asking for driver details. I declined saying I was under no obligation to name the driver. That was 3rd June. I got email response saying they’d consider and respond within 28 days either by email or letter. We’ve been away and regularly checked email -nothing. We got home 10th July - no letter? We don’t get frequent fines so unfamiliar territory but am I missing something? Do they often just ‘forget it’ but I assume this is now out of time as over 28 days even allowing for weekends. Advice & thoughts appreciated- thanks Val

    Yes, it isn't a "fine" it's a speculative invoice.

    Hi - I wanted to reply with an update & to say Thanks again for advice.
    In summary- initial invoice’ was 30th April from accidentally driving through Manchester airport drop off zone. I followed advice and appealed as keeper. Apcoa replied asking to name driver to which I declined. The last I heard was 3rd June - until today 23rd September to say it was cancelled - success! So for anyone wondering whether to challenge unfair, money making parking charges, just follow the advice here. Thanks again- Val
