Moorside Legal

51b0f897-85c7-4275-86f4-aeaba3a002f3.jpeg

I received a court proceedings letter from Moorside Legal claiming I owed £264.08 to Anchor Security Services Limited for a parking charge.

I posted my defence on the gov website using the draft posted here and my defense was that I haven’t received the original parking charge form for the original amount.

I have received a letter from Moorside Legal who are happy to settle for the sum of £200 or their client will take the matter to a court of my choice. Please see the attached letter.

What are my options? I don’t want to go to court but how likely am I to win?

    You are assuming that the case will result in a hearing, but many don't get that far

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

    Also post your exact defence, verbatim, that was submitted on MCOL

    Ps, a typical loss in court for a single pcn is around £212 , so their offer is ludicrous

    You won't go to court and you will win.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
