in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi ive received a letter of claim from moorside legal this is reference a ticket from march 2019. I was originally getting letters from alliance parking but now must have been passed on to moorside, i vaguely remember having on from trace at some point.
Ive always ignored these letters, and didn't receive anything for approx 2yrs, but lately started to become more frequent. Just looking for some advice 
Thanks

    Are you absolutely certain it's about a PCN from March 2019? Over 6 years ago?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Send them a complaint and threaten to report their principal solicitors Rebecca Horton-Grainger and Ibrar Ahmad, to the SRA for their apparent failures to meet professional standards.

    ...like this:

    ...but obviously your reasons are because the charge is past the statute of limitations (older than 6 years).

    Ignore it then, they can’t enforce it after 6 years

    Please do what Coupon-mad has said.
    There are grave concerns about Moorside Legal.
    They should know that their claim is timed out ... it must be a try-on hoping you will pay

    On another recent thread, Moorside stated that the single code of practive applied on a parking ticket back in 2020 ?
    The single code of practice was not in place in 2020 ???

    Is Moorside Legal just ignorant or incompetent

    Sadly this is what happens when a legal plays the monopoly money game. just like the other dodgy legals

    I feel sorry for Moorside, 

    Moorside reviews on Trustpilot confirm this with one person saying .... "This company behave like a bunch of money grabbing thieves"

    This is the result of dealing with the the MEGA scam operating by the parking industry,
