APCOA Heathrow
Hello to all
My car was clocked making a pick up / drop off at Heathrow on 28-Apr-25
I don't know who the driver was - I have a large, old car, and lend it to many family members and friends for airport runs, as long as they have insurance to cover other vehicles.
Unusually, it seems that this time whoever it was forgot to pay or failed to pay for some reason.
I was not aware of this.
I personally left the UK a few days later (09-May) and only just returned on 10-Sep. So if they sent me a letter I never received it. (I presume they sent a letter)
When I got home, I found some letters waiting for me, some others must have been thrown away. The original letter is not among the letters. A "Debt Recovery Plus" "pay now" letter is here.
Here is the letter, plus a screenshot, taken from Apcoa's website, using the details of the recovery letter.

Is there any lawful way i can not pay this £150? Would a standard Apcoa letter work in this case?
Thank you so much for your time
