If the reference number is the same then it should relate to the same claim. If responding again, as well as whatever you're planning to respond with, I would also open by pointing out that this is the second Letter of Claim they have sent in respect of the same claim.

I have noticed this is the second letter regarding the same claim you made on the 25th of October last year. So, for confirmation, can you please provide more details of this particular claim. The failure to provide copies of the evidence your client places reliance upon, put its in clear breach of the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.


Maybe I can respond like this and then copy and paste my previous message as before?

Hello everyone, I received an email from Moorside Legal yesterday, responding to my previous email. Any idea on how I should respond back? I'm guessing I should ignore it.

We write in relation to the above matter.

 The pcn was issued for No valid parking session registered on the 4/16/2025.

By entering and parking the vehicle on our client's private land, you agreed to enter into a contract with our client and to be bound by the terms and conditions of that contract. The terms and conditions were clearly displayed in prominent places. Due to your failure to comply with the terms and conditions, our client has issued the PCN.

 

 

Considering the evidence, we are satisfied that the PCN has been issued in line with industry standards and is compliant with the International Parking Community’s (IPC) code of practice. The signage of the car park also complies with the International Parking Community’s Code of Practice.

below is a breakdown

Why is there an additional £70 added to the PCN amount?
Because the Parking Charge remained unpaid after it was due. Our Client made you aware that additional charges could be applied to the Parking Charge if it was not paid on time. They informed you of this on the parking signs and on any notices either placed on the vehicle or sent to you by post.
 

How is the £70 made up?
£70 is the amount set out in both the British Parking Association and International Parking Association Codes of Practice as the amount which may be added to a Parking Charge when a Parking Charge remains unpaid and when further recovery is required. Our Client is a member of ipc which is a government approved Accredited Trade Association (ATA) for Private Parking. Our Client adheres to the ATA’s Code of Practice. The £70 is a charge levied by our Client (the Parking Operator) to protect their legitimate interests. (Our Client’s legitimate interests for charging and additional fee is to encourage payment when the Parking Charge becomes due and to avoid the need for debt recovery.)
 

 

We ask that you make the full payment of £170.00 within 7 days of receipt of this email.

 

 

You can make payment in the following ways: 

Contact us on 0330 822 9950 (our opening times are Monday- Friday 9:00- 17:00);

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

Hi guys, I recently got this 'Letter Before Claim' letter from Moorside Legal. Is this the letter I'm suppose to respond to? Its not even clear which penalty they are referring to as it just says their client is from PCM which I assume is for this penalty claim

Hi guys, I completely forgot about this pcn and done a appeal after 28 days. The appeal was rejected and I'm now willing to pay for it but the discount rate has now finished. They now have given me a choice of paying the fine of £160 or to appeal to the traffic adjudicators. What do you guys recommend?

Hi again, I received a PCN for going through a motor prohibition sign without knowing. Here is the PCN...





There is also a video but I'm not sure how to paste the clip on this site.

From my knowledge, there is a restriction from one side of this sign. There is no restriction when coming from the back of this sign. I had a delivery the national theatre but was trying to find the stage door which I found out its on a road called stage door avenue. When I realised I was already past it, I decided to do u-turn immediately and unfortunately I did it just past this sign. As mentioned before, I believe there is no sign when coming from one direction so as I decided to do the u-turn, I was not aware of any restriction.

As I finished my 3 point turn, I went through the sign. At present, I can't recall seeing the sign as I went past it.

Here is the google map view...

Still trying to work out through my head, exactly how this happened. Normally, I would do a u-turn where there is space to do so. I'm guessing I thought I had enough space to do the turn without checking n( obviously I checked for pedestrians and cyclist etc). Anyway, is there a chance I can appeal as I don't recall seeing the sign as I went past it?

Hello, a driver I know received a PCN for entering a box junction. I've looked at the video and the driver is on the junction for about 2 minutes so I can't see any other option but to pay it. But I was wondering if the roadworks on the box junction could possibly be a factor in any way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I did received the letter back a few days ago and it was a success   Thank you guys for all the help. I did decided on the delivery evidence as being my primary grounds for representations but also mentioned about the error of the PCN regarding the truncation.

Apologies for not responding earlier. Had an issue with my phone but its ok now. Very thankful for all the help
