Private parking tickets / Manchester Airport Pick Up Zone fine never received due to moving address
« on: June 19, 2026, 01:28:53 pm »
Hi everyone, I would appreciate some advice on the following:
I moved house from Liverpool to Manchester on 26/09/2025.
Due to a very busy week, I only changed my V5C log's address on 06/10/2026.
Yesterday I received a notice from "Trace Debt Recovery" about a parking fine from 28/09/2025 in manchester Airport for 170gbp. I had previously not received any previous letters regarding this.
I called the "Trace Debt Recovery" helpline who advised me the initial APCOA's letter was sent on 06/10/2026 to the previous address and that there is no way for me to appeal at this point.
I find it very unfair to have to pay an increased amount when I was never given the chance to pay the original amount but I am not sure where I stand on legal grounds?
Please let me know if there is anything I can do
Thank you very much
Michael
