If you are unable to submit the relevant documents online, then you'll need to do so via post. Ideally do this via regular 1st class post, obtaining a free certificate of posting from a post office.

Ok much appreciated, would this still work? When I try enter the details on that site, it’s saying it’s too late.

The all you need to do is transfer liability to the Hirer. This can be done at any time and all you have to do, as the Hire company, is the following:
HOW TO TRANSFER LIABILITY
If you are a hire or leasing company, please provide us with a signed statement confirming the hirer's name and address and include a copy of both the hire/leasing agreement and their statement of liability.
Documents can be submitted by visiting https://payments.apcoa.co.uk/ or by post to PO Box 5767, Dingwall, IV15 0AX
As a caring and customer focussed company, you could inform the Hirer that you have transferred liability to them and that if they want to know how to avoid having to pay a penny to this scam, to come here before they try to appeal and we will advise on how to do so, only as the Hirer and thus avoid having to pay a penny to APCOA.
The only reason I know about the transfer of liability details is because I have three APCOA PCNs for Manchester Airport in front of me and I am about to collect another one tomorrow!

Thanks for the fast reply, I represent the hire company.

Are you the Hire company or are you the Hirer of the vehicle?
You can ignore any useless dent recovery letters. Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.
Even if nothing is done, APCOA will never litigate the matter. It will just whither and die on the vine.
Please answer the question.

Hi,
I have received a letter from debt recovery plus after a PCN from Manchester Airport. I don’t recall receiving a PCN during the time mentioned, however the address on the V5 is correct. I was away during some period of May, however I could not find the letter in question to appeal earlier. From other threads I understand that in future I can respond with the appeal stating as we are the registered keeper, no obligation to identify the driver and location covered by by-laws.
However, I have read similar cases as mine when it’s gone to debt recovery. To confirm is the advice either 1) ignore the letters.
2) raise a complaint
In this case, what would you advise? Thank you
For more context this is a hire company, and the car was hired by a client at the time.
