Hi again
It wasn't so much about the figures.
It was about their clever use of words for perhaps a loophole by swapping the use of "Fines" for "Invoice".
I wasn't sure if it made a difference in the wording of the response because my letter referred to an " Outstanding Invoice".
Just trying to ensure I don't fail on technicality.
Thank you for your time. I hope to pay this forward some time.

Big thanks for the response.
My Letter is different mentions no contract and no £70+vat.
My letter tells me I owe £165 for an unpaid invoice and their client - Parking Control Management UK has instructed them to collect this outstanding balance on their behalf.
It reads as below
" YOU OWE £165 FOR AN UNPAID INVOICE.
We're here to help you resolve the matter to avoid court action.. Full details can be found at portal.moorsidelegal. Co. uk.
Should we receive a further instructions from our client before a claim is issued, these will be added to the outstanding debt and updated on the portal.
If you choose not to reply within 30 days our client may instruct us to issue a county court claim which adds interest, court fees, and legal costs to the balance.
If a County Court judgement is awarded it can seriously affect your credit score for 6 years."
The rest of the letter gives details of how to pay by portal or phone them.
QUESTIONS.
1. Do I have to view the details through their portal or can I request more information by post or by my own email?
2.I do not even remember engaging in any correspondence with the said client, at least not this year as changed vehicles a year ago. So is it advisable to tell them request a court appearance to fight the case?
Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.

Private parking tickets / Moorside Letter Before Claim
« on: December 01, 2025, 07:23:15 pm »
Hi all
I received a Letter Before Claim for £165 letter.
It just says
"Our client has instructed us to collect the outstanding balance on their behalf. We are a law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
You owe £165. 00 for an unpaid invoice"
I do not even recall any interaction with said client. Must be a while ago for disputed parking charge somewhere.
To respond, I have trawled through some posts and have come up with a response below yet to be sent by post.. Would appreciate your input. Kind regards.
To Moorside Legal
Your Letter Before Claim contains a vague, un-evidenced, and in complete contravention of the pre-existing Practice Direction and the Pre-Action Protocol.
It contains insufficient detail of the claim and fails to provide copies of evidence your client places reliance upon and thus is in complete contravention of the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.
Because your letter lacks specificity and breaches the requirements of the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims (paragraphs 3.1(a)-(d), 5.1 and 5.2) as well as the Practice Direction - Pre-Action Conduct (paragraphs 6(a) and 6(c)), you must treat this letter as a formal request for all of the documents/information that the protocol now requires your client to provide. Your client must not issue proceedings without complying with that protocol.
Its express purpose is to assist parties in understanding the claim and their respective positions in relation to it, to enable parties to take stock of their positions and to negotiate a settlement, or at least narrow the issues, without incurring the costs of court proceedings or using up valuable court time.
I do not recall any interaction with your client and so the debt is denied and suggest you refer back to your client.
If you choose to respond, I shall expect your response to include the following.
1. An explanation of the cause of action
2. whether they are pursuing me as driver or keeper
3. whether they are relying on the provisions of Schedule 4 of POFA 2012
4. what the details of the claim are - where, when and copies of original invoice and all interactions regarding the matter.
5. Is the claim for a contractual breach? If so, what is the date of the agreement? The names of the parties to it and provide to me a copy of that contract.
6. If the claim is for a contractual breach, photographs showing the vehicle was parked in contravention of said contract.
7. Is the claim for trespass? If so, provide details.
8. Provide me a copy of the contract with the landowner under which they assert authority to bring the claim, as required by the BPA/IPC Private Parking Single Code of Practice (PPSCoP).
9. a plan showing where any signs were displayed
10. Photographs of the signs displayed (size of sign, size of font, height at which displayed) at the time of any alleged contravention.
11. Provide details of the original charge, and detail any interest and administrative or other charges added
13. With regard to the principal alleged "invoice" sum: Is this damages, or will it be pleaded as consideration for parking?
Failing the above information, please do not contact me again. Any further correspondence from you will be considered as harassment and reported to the appropriate authority.
Yours faithfully
