    They do have a full Privacy Policy but not easy to find and not very readable. https://moorsidelegal.co.uk/privacy-policy/. One of the directors is a solicitor.

    Debt Recovery

    Moorside can usually agree a commission rate for debt recovery action, often contingent on recovery of the debt. The commission rates we offer typically ranges from 15-30% (exc. VAT), but we may agree rates that sit outside of that range in certain circumstances. We can discuss these on a case-by-case basis

    And from their "Pricing" link:-

    Basically i want to know is it worth acknowledging the deb

    Personally I would deny the debt.  Challenge them to take you to court, imo they would be insane to do so
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • Hi,

    I also have the same letter from this company Moorside Legal however my case is different, I have been fined for parking in a disabled bay for over 34 when I was in the car. The fine orginated from One Parking Solutions Ltd, however I only received correspondence from ZZPS the debt collection agency who wrote that I had to pay £170 to them without the option of appealing or paying the reduced price of that fine. I wrote a letter to One Parking Solutions Ltd stating that I acknowledged the fine however I did not receive your intial letter. They sent me a letter stating that

    The code of practice states the following in regards to postage, 

    The code of practice, section 21.1a states that:

    A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered and so "given on the second working day after the day on which it is proved; and for this purpose "working day"  means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday"

    Therefore, the notice is presumed dleivered, unless the motorist can prove the contrary. 

    As we did not receive any communication from yourself the parking charge progressed to debt recovery and as this is the case all correspondence will need to be sent to them, as we no longer hold the parking charge here
    ---
    Are you able to advise what I can do going forward I would really appreciate it, its a problem for me because I have admitted to them by post that I was the driver at the disabled bay but I did not leave my car.

    The lack of PCN and reminder is because your old address is on your V5C, isn't it?  Anyway start your own thread for bespoke advice.
