I have had no emails about it before at all until a text today and now an email in the last 30 minutes.

Stop.

Nobody rings Trace and nobody pays £170 to anyone in private parking.

What is important is:

• You moved a year ago.
• Letters have been going to your old address;
• You now have a text about the PCN, as they traced your phone number (perfectly legal) but you still haven't received any letters, so clearly these are still going to your old address;
• If you are not careful, a claim form will go to your old address once Moorside Legal take the file, and you won't defend the claim (and if that happens, you'll get a default CCJ).

Obviously you MUST erase your old address from their file urgently! The first reply you got on page one from @ChirpyChicken told you how to change your address with Trace without ringing them. Done it yet?

God this is a minefield

OK The "offence" was for a drop off at Manchester airport back in December. The car was a hire car and I cant remember if myself or my colleague was driving. So i am now assuming that the car hire company have divulged some info regarding contact details.

So now Moorside have my address so any mail should come to me.

No. You need to tell them to erase the old address, as you saw when you read the LBC response in post 2 of the NEWBIES thread.
