This is a private parking case so I've flagged for a move.

Title: CCJ discovered after credit score dropped - UKPC / Moorside Legal - never received claim form

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for some advice before I decide whether to apply for a set aside.

I recently discovered a CCJ after my credit score suddenly dropped.

The details are:

Judgment date: 19 June 2026
Amount: £280.72
Claimant: UK Parking Control Ltd
Solicitor: Moorside Legal Services
Alleged parking event: 13 November 2025
Location: Barker Street Main Car Park, Shrewsbury
Allegation: "Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay."

The problem is that I never received the PCN, reminder letters, Letter Before Claim or County Court Claim Form.

All correspondence was sent to my previous address, which I moved out of in October 2024. I still own the property but it has been rented out since then.

At the time of the parking event my V5C was still registered at that address, but I updated it approximately a week later when I changed cars. The court proceedings weren't issued until around May 2026, around six months after the alleged parking event.

I only became aware of the CCJ because I checked my credit report. As soon as I found out I contacted the Civil National Business Centre and Moorside Legal.

Moorside told me over the phone that because judgment has already been entered, I should pay the judgment and then apply to have the CCJ removed. Citizens Advice have since suggested that I should carefully consider whether to make a set aside application before paying.

I also don't actually remember parking at the location on the date in question and have asked Moorside for evidence, but they said they wouldn't provide any because judgment has already been entered.

My questions are:

- Do I appear to have reasonable grounds for a set aside application?
- Should I ask UKPC/Moorside to agree to a consent set aside first?
- Is there anything else I should obtain before deciding whether to submit an N244 application?
- Does the fact that my V5 was updated months before court proceedings were issued have any significance?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
