Letter before claim - moorside legal
Hi all,
looking for some advice on how to proceed with a letter before claim from moorside legal.
Background story; received a parking ticket in my own flat parking space after permit 'not displayed' back in 2022, permit was on drivers seat. Initially disputed the claim with the parking company but was obviously rejected.
Ignored initial letters and 'debt' (now being referred to as an invoice) was passed between companies, now has landed with moorside legal.
They sent me a Letter of claim back in June 2025, this was disputed and my response sent was as follows after using some advice from other forums:
They responded with a generic response saying that as I entered and parked on 'their private land' I entered into a contract with them and the fine is valid.
They then sent a letter before claim last week, this was non compliant with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims, I responded again with an email but using information from another forum:
they responded with a generic email giving a 'breakdown' of the additional fees saying that 'The £60 does not represent the cost of recovery but it is a reasonable amount in relation to the parking charge'. They also provided some pictures of the vehicle in question and some signage but still haven't provided a compliant LOC, they also 'demanded' payment within 7 days of the email being received...
any ideas on how this can be dealt with? or best wait until a court summons is issued to fight there, obviously not wanting to pay this as I was entitled to park in the parking space as dictated by the lease, in addition, the lease did not include information relating to any parking scheme in operation.
I appreciate the thread is long but thanks in advance!

There definitely won't be a summons, just a Money Claim using MCOL, so ignore them for now and wait for the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post in the future

No paying this. Just await the Claim Form. Which PPC is it?
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
