Private parking tickets / Re: Moorside Legal - Private Parking Charge
« on: February 13, 2026, 03:39:07 pm »
Hi I got a Letter of Claim from Moorside Legal on 22nd January but have not replied - I'm really worried now as I don't know if I should be doing something. It said I have 30 days or I could get a CCJ.
Is this just more scaremengering or should I do something? I have previously sent the letters you suggested, which asked lots of questions but have had no answers from them at all - just the same claim for an unpaid invoice. Should I send them the same letter again maybe, or just ignore?
I would really appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

They are emailing me constantly with 'helpful' payment suggestions but as advised I am ignoring all of them until they send a Letter of Claim. Hopefully that is the correct thing to do.

Hi,
I have now received a Letter of Claim (as opposed to the Letters Before Claim I had before) from Moorside Legal.
It has the same wording of the Letter Before Claim, offereing ways to pay etc but it does say
'if I do not reply within 30 days they may issue a County Court Claim which adds interest, court fees and legal costs. If a CCJ is awarded it can seriously affest your credit score for up to 6 years. This means you may find it more difficult to obtain credit such as mortgages, credit cards, loans, or any vehicle finance'
Should I be worried? I'd appreciate advice of what to do next. I have sent all the emails that you advised before, and they have not answered a single question. They just keep sending me these letters.

Thank you, I will wait to see what Hippocrates says later. So from what I understand, my recourse should be that the process should not be fettered (ie tied) as it is unfair to offer us a chance to appeal, but really they are not offering the chance to appeal as it is tied to the basis that it puts you off appealing as you lose your discount option - therefore it is fetterd?

I should also mention, I made the initial appeal within the 14 day period. I got an email back staing that they have 56 days to get back to me. Eventually I got a letter stating that as the appeal was written by my husband (he was driving my car so wrote what happened) and not the keeper (me) I had to submit it again. I did so, sending the exact same appeal but from me, and then they rejected it.

Thank you for your help. I have started the appeal process. One of the questions is what are the grounds for appeal? I have screenshotted it here: https://imgpile.com/p/pcGjqDV
I'm assuming 'the penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable'?

Okay I think I am in the correct section now. I so wish I had read the 'Read this first' part before I made the apperal and basically acknowledged he did drive into the zone during the restricted hour.
I have uploaded to imgpile the first letter I received and am trying to load the back and the second letter but imgpile says it is banned so I'm not sure how to post those.
Here is the link: https://imgpile.com/p/3S6hUA7
I'll keep trying to add the other pages.

Fabulous, thank you. They certainly don't make it easy - no wonder people give up and pay it.

My husband was driving my car and inadvertantly strayed into a new No Pedestrian and Cycle Zone. The back story is that a flyover near us has been closed for months and due to the horrendous traffic he took a back route to avoid it and didn’t notice a time restriction due to schools traffic had been put into place recently and drove down the road during the one hour restriction. I appealed to Havering Council and explained it was a new zone, he was stressed trying to get to an appointment on time and didn't notice. They refused the appeal.
It is not the appeal refusal I am disputing, it is that we appealed straight away and explained the circumstances but that because we appealed the 14 day offer is not valid. The fine was £160 or £80 if paid in 14 days. In the past you could appeal and the 14 day offer was still valid if they said no (when does an appeal ever work?). The small print has now changed and it said 'Please be aware that if the representation is made the full charge of the Penalty will be payable should your representation be rejected'. I did not notice that or would not have appealed. However, surely it is not ethical to put this in place as it frightens people from making an appeal at all?
Would appreciate your thoughts.
