Parking Control, Moorside court claim 2025

Unpaid parking "fine" and now I have a second  letter  in one month from HM Courts & Tribunal Services.

Moorside Legal are the ones taking me to court, 
I parked at Beam Park Rainham for maximum 20min and received a fine, i have parked there many times when i went to visit my friend. Many times he has done my parking via his phone but that day they didn't have space in the visitor parking space so i parked the car in a normal space for maximum 20min. It is not possible to fit all the cars in the visitor parking space , there is maybe 300flats and maybe 20 visitor parking space.

I Received  a letter before claim on 30 June 2025 from Moorside legal and i sent them one email on the 12th of July and other on the 30th of July ( i added the pictures)
But nobody has replied back to me...


I have now got a claim for £276.72 which comprises of:

Amount claimed £191.72
Court Fee £35
Legal Costs £50

I have probably ignored previous letter for the original fine ( can't  remember original fine) 

My Claim Form issued 04 AUG 2025

Thank you everyone

    There was no fine, no offence, no penalty,   don't use any of those words , you received an invoice from a private parking company,  nothing more 

    Name the private parking company that are using Moorside Legal 

    Login to MCOL and complete the AOS online on there first, as explained in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum  ( issue date was 04 August 2025  )

    Post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first

    No actual breach mentioned in the POC 

    Use the template defence and add Chan and Akande too, same as all the other recent cases with no explanation of any breach

    Which the Template Defence thread already explains and links twice for Moorside cases. You don't have to draft anything at all. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
