If the driver hasn't been identified then APCOA would seem to have unwittingly given you as the keeper a potential lifeline, as they would seem not to have complied with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act (there's a link in my signature at the bottom of each page), and are therefore unable to recover the charge from you as the keeper.
You could therefore appeal as the keeper, along the lines of the below:
Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ______) for vehicle registration mark _______, in which you allege that the driver has incurred a parking charge. I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue a POPLA code.
Yours,
Posted online.
Many thanks for your help and support thus far.

21-Sept : Representation made by the patient in the vehicle (my mother in this case)
03-Oct : Rejection letter for the representation sent to the Representor (my mother in this case) highlighting appeal can be made to POPLA within 28 days
31-Oct : Appeal to POPLA date expired
03-Nov : Notice to the registered keeper of the vehicle issued (in my name) with an option to dispute within 28 days or pay £60.
01-Dec (future) : Date of expiry to dispute the PCN
Many thanks.
