You should edit your post to remove anything that gives away the identity of the driver. The driver and the keeper are two separate legal entities. Only the Keeper is "known" to APCOA. Only the driver can be liable unless they've complied fully with all the requirements of PoFA 2012.
You may not be able to edit your post any more (there is a time limit to do so, to prevent the feature being misused) - if that's the case, send me a direct message with what you would like the post changing to and I can update it for you.

It is too late to appeal anything now. Do NOT try and contact APCOA to explain anything. As you can see in your post, you have already committed the cardinal sin of identifying who was driving.

You can safely ignore all debt collector letters. DRP and their ilk are powerless to do anything. You must never, ever, ever, communicate with a useless debt collector. They are not a party to any contract allegedly breached by the driver.
You need to find out why you did not receive anything before the DRP letters. The most common reason is that your V5C was not updated with your current address after your last move. Updating your drivers licence with the DVLA does not update the V5C. You can check online and update it there if necessary.
If your address was not uo to date on your V5C, you need to submit a Data Rectification Notice to the DPO at APCOA advising them of the correct address for service of documents and to erase your old address and to tell anyone they may have passed your details to, to do the same.
For now, continue to ignore any debt collector letters. APCOA are benign and do not tend to litigate. Eventually, they will stop and that will be it. However, in the extremely remote chance that you receive any other correspondence that is not a debt collector letter or reminder, let us know.

Now added the first notice. Struggling to add the follow up notice.
Thanks.

Hello
Looking for guidance on how the registered keeper respond to PCN notices from DRP.
Received DRP (Debtor Recovery Plus) notices without any PCN notice from APCOA, who manages the car park. First letter received on 26/09. APCOA who manages the car park do not have PCN on their database; and no notice was sent by APCOA explaining any parking charge in first instance.
Thank you."[attachimg=1][attachimg=1]
