Moorside Legal LBC

Hey Guys,
I just got a Letter BEFORE Claim from LBC with no email or anything, just a phone number asking me to pay 170. Do I just wait for a Letter of Claim? I am tempted to just pay it and save myself the headache, but advice of what to do would be great.
Cheers,
Sami101

Study the second post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements, email the LoC response template to Moorside Legal
Then wait for the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post
No paying2 -

Good people don't set an example by paying scams to 'make them go away'
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I have received the same as you @Sami101. I will be responding to them with the template from post 2 of the Newbies page. These guys are ruthless by the sounds of things and a quick hunt of the guys that run these companies shows they have their grimy hands in everyone's pockets. Best of luck!2

Ruthless - only to a point!
They AREN'T looking to go as far as hearings; they are copying DCB Legal's intimidation model with scattergun claims. It works for them. Makes them lots of money when people pay out of fear.
Defended cases are likely to be discontinued.
We ask that you BOTH stick around while your cases are quiet, to respond to the Public Consultation which is now open for August.
What parking operators do is is a national disgrace and a drain on Society, in terms of money and anxiety. If you want to be part of the push to change things in future, it's very important that people like you tell the Government that:
a) you have no faith in POPLA or the IAS and that there must be a SINGLE APPEALS SERVICE that people trust. The sector is crying out for an independent and impartial appeals service - not two involved in a race to the bottom - that will give a real option to resolve disputed cases out of court.
b). THE ENRICHMENT OF 'DEBT RECOVERY FEES' MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED. CASES ARE NOT SOLVED BY DEMANDING MORE MONEY AND OFFERING A 'PAYMENT PLAN' THAT ONLY THE VULNERABLE PAY. DRAS LIKE DCB LEGAL MAKE NO MONEY IF THEY HANDLE DISPUTES IN THE SPIRIT OF THE APPEALS CHARTER, WHICH IS WHY THEY ALWAYS PLOUGH ON TO COURT CLAIMS AND CCJs, RATHER THAN OFFERING REAL RESOLUTION AT PRE-ACTION STAGE. THEY OFFER NOTHING, NO LEGITIMATE OPTION TO KEEP CASES OUT OF COURT.
c). Tell them about your experience and the complete and utter waste of court resources caused on a grand scale by DCB Legal. If there had been an ADR you'd have used it, etc.
Responses are invited to the Consultation now:

Do it this month pleeease!
We will discuss it further next week on that thread if you want ideas.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
