LOC mooreside legal FEB 2025

bluefish55

Hi all,

Received mooresides standard LOC with usual forms.  Just to confirm i have read the newbie thread correctly i should reply with the following.

Dear Sirs,

Your Ref. ############
Proposed Legal Proceedings
Claimant: xxxxxx xxxxxxxx Ltd

I refer to your your letter of claim.

I confirm that my address for service for the time being - assuming you don't faff about and delay any claim - is as follows, and any older address must be erased from your records:
[Correct address here]

The alleged debt is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.

I am sourcing and seeking independent debt advice and as such, I formally request that this matter be put on hold for an additional 30 days, in accordance with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 ('the PAP').

I note that the amount being claimed has increased by a hugely exaggerated amount which the Government called "extorting money from motorists".

Don't send me your usual blather about that.
I have two questions, and under the PAP I am entitled to specific answers:

1. Am I to understand that the additional £70 represents what you lot dress up as a 'Debt Recovery' fee, and if so, is this nett or inclusive of VAT? If the latter, would you kindly explain why I am being asked to pay the operator’s VAT?

2. With regard to the principal alleged PCN sum: Is this damages, or will it be pleaded as consideration for parking?

Yours faithfully

Correct,  respond by email with the template 

Expect a court claim against you within the next few months,  it's a bulk roboclaim system,  against hundreds or thousands of victims

Don't forget when they come back with their wafle about VAT to report them to HMRC for VAT concerns,

I have an Update on this.

Since emailing at the start of the year, it went quiet. Now I have recieved an LBC. Seems to have gone back step?

New update, seems to have gone back and swapped debt collectors. IUsual waffle? Ignore and wait for letter of claim? Is there a better way forward now it's gone backwards? I've also emailed the previous law firms with the templates and been ignored. Never once had a reply to any template.

Gr1pr

Its all irrelevant, no matter what the letterhead say, you ignore powerless debt collectors letters

Wait For a possible LoC, or a Money Claim

Thankyou once again. The dance continues.

Even better now it's with CIS because they almost never actually file claims.

They used to be called this:
