    My only contact has been by text and email and I think the hire company must have divulged my number

    Sorry I am not very good with any of this admin stuff. I just called trace and they have my current address but they said all letters were sent to my old address which was updated with dvla etc but obviously not in time. She said basically tough luck I can send a copy of the letter to you by email which she has done and it says. This letter was sent to my old address letter dated March tis year.

    We write in relation to the above matter. 

      We ask that you make the full payment of £170.00 

     

     You can make payment in the following ways:  

     

     

    If you fail to respond or make payment, we may be instructed by our client to issue legal proceedings against you. This will incur further costs and fees that will be added to the outstanding balance. You may wish to seek independent legal advice.  

     

     

    Yours sincerely,

    Moorside Legal

    So have my current address at Trace but do I need to also tell this to Moorside or are they all the same folks.

    Tell Both , to be sure, ideally tell the DPO at the parking company by email too

    They aren't communicating with the hire company, but could use an old, out of date address, so ensure that all 3 have your current address as hirer
