Thanks for the continuing advice.

I sent the following email to Moorside Legal, the solicitors in question:


Dear Sirs,

Your ref: XXXXX

Claimant: Parking Control Management UK Ltd

I refer to your Letter Before Claim.

I confirm that my address for service for the time being is as follows:

XXXXXXXXXXX

Please be advised that the alleged ‘debt’ is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended. Apart from anything else, you / your client have failed to correctly adhere to Schedule 4 of POFA 2012. 

Yours faithfully,



I received the following in response:

We write in relation to the above matter.

Thank you for contacting us.

Please note you can view this evidence and signage using the below link:

https://www.pay-my-pcn.co.uk/live-3sc-user/  and quote: XXXX for reference.

In relation to the above, the details which were provided to our client is information held by the DVLA regarding the Registered Keeper's details on V5C Logbook. It is the driver's responsibility to ensure all details are always kept up to date.

By entering and parking the vehicle on our client's private land, you agreed to enter into a contract with our client and to be bound by the terms and conditions of that contract. The terms and conditions were clearly displayed in prominent places within the car park. 

Due to your failure to comply with the terms and conditions, our client has issued the PCN therefore if we are instructed to issue a claim the reason would be for Unpaid parking charges/breach of contract.

Considering the evidence, we are satisfied that the PCN has been issued in line with industry standards and is compliant with the International Parking Community’s (IPC) code of practice. The signage of the car park also complies with the International Parking Community’s Code of Practice.

We ask that you make the full payment of £170.00 within 7 days of receipt of this email.

You can make payment in the following ways: 

• Contact us on 0330 822 9950 (our opening times are Monday- Friday 9:00- 17:00); 
• portal.moorsidelegal.co.uk - Login to our portal
• https://pay.moorside.legal - Quick Pay

 If you fail to respond or make payment, we may be instructed by our client to issue legal proceedings against you. This will incur further costs and fees that will be added to the outstanding balance. You may wish to seek independent legal advice.

Yours sincerely,


I presume the advice would be to sit tight and see if they issue proceedings - and, if they do, to cross that bridge then?
