Just put that. 

 I Have received this from moorside legal. I would like to note that there is no big sign on the entrance. Looking on google maps there is a very small sign on a lamppost half way down the road NOT at the entrance like they mentioned. 

Please read their response

Our client: Alliance parking uk ltd

We write in response to your email below.

Our answers to your questions are as follows:
 

• The additional charge which has been levied on your Parking Charge of £70  is the amount set out in both the British Parking Association and International Parking Community Codes of Practice as the amount which may be added to a Parking Charge when a Parking Charge remains unpaid and when further recovery is required. Our Client is a member of the ipc which is a government approved Accredited Trade Association (ATA) for Private Parking. Our Client adheres to the ATA’s Code of Practice. The £70 does not represent the cost of recovery but is a reasonable amount in relation to the Parking Charge amount, in order to encourage early payment of the Parking Charge without the need for debt recovery. It is a fair amount set by our Client’s government-approved Accredited Trade Association Code of Practice. There are however also costs incurred by our client in relation to debt recovery services.
  
  
• 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 at the entrance and 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.

We have noted on your account you are seeking debt advice and have placed the matter on hold for 30-days. If you fail to make payment after the 30-day period has lapsed, we may be instructed to issue a County Court Claim against you. 

You may wish to seek independent legal advice.

Yours sincerely

Moorside Legal

So it been over 2 months since they responded and I haven't received anything. I wonder if they have given up or I'm due a letter soon 🤣

Probably due a claim form, so keep on top of letters in the post and don't move house without telling the parking firm.

But don't disappear!

We need you! Please read this message and take time this month to do the vital current Public Consultation:

It's important that the Government hears from people like you with unfair charges who are dealing with threats of scary court claims. That's when you win ... but most people don't know that these cases are a greedy scam and are winnable.

The link shows the two vital points to concentrate on, IMHO:

- banning 'fee' add-ons completely.

- making sure a new SINGLE appeals service replaces POPLA and the IAS which are seen as not fully independent and involved in a 'race to the bottom'.

Click through to the main thread about the Consultation.

Do not be deterred by the fact that some questions are for the parking industry only.

We are currently discussing how to respond. Please join us in doing this Consultation before it closes in three weeks. This is your one chance to make a difference re the proper regulation of private parking.
