Moorside Legal

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Just received a letter from Moorside Legal about two parking tickets, both tickets are from parking outside my own home but the car park unfortunately is privately owned. Both tickets are from 2022 so I can’t remember the reason as to why I had parked in the car park both those times as usually I park on the street and walk further to get to my house.
this is the first letter I have received from Moorside Legal with cost of both tickets plus all their add ons and estimated add ons if I don’t pay up and they take me to court.
They have also somehow obtained my phone number and are trying to call me to contact me.
just some advice on where I can go at this point with them.

    Please post it up 
    They are going to start litigating for parking firms soon from what I know.
    It is probably just a normal debt recovery letter at this stage.

    Nothing to worry about.  Seen it before. No different. You won't be paying.

    YES ... post a readacted vopy of the letter. IE: your own personal info
    Just block Moorside on your phone ... simple

    This is the letter that was sent to me, okay just blocked them. 
    Shall I be expecting another letter from them in the near future?
    thanks for the advice!

    Maybe. We only need to know if they send you a Letter of Claim (LoC) which would give you 30 days to pay before they "may" issue a claim on behalf of their client.

    What you have shown us is simply more debt collector rubbish. If/when an LoC is received, have a thorough read of the second post of the Newbies/FAQ thread for instruction on what to do next.

    As above
    But this firm as hoovered up a lot of clients who don't currently really issues claims
    UKPS being one of them for example

    Not that it matters! I'm not expecting brain of Britain here. They'll plead cases as badly as the next 'Roboclaim' parking solicitors

    They will get a court claim in due course.
