Private parking tickets / Alliance Parking - Letter Before Claim Moorside Legal.
« on: Yesterday at 06:48:50 pm »
Hello
Some advice please relating on how to respond to a vague letter before claim (LBC)from Moorside Legal on behalf of Alliance Parking.
The letter’s just one page of scant detail and doesn’t specify a date by which I have to reply.
Without going into reams of detail this emanates from Sept 2022, a family member whilst we were all on holiday parked my vehicle at the Seaview car park Polzeath Cornwall. Due to an electrical outage affecting the whole area both car park machines were inoperative. We left a note in the wind screen as others had done and went about our business. Ironically we visited the same car park two days later and paid as the machines were now working(bizarrely I still have this ticket- evidence of my good intent).
I’ve subsequently seen similar complaints on Trustpilot from the same day outlining the same issue.
On returning home I received a Notice to Keeper PCN from Alliance Parking. On visiting their website I was only able to officially Appeal if I admitted I was the driver which I wasn’t.In Oct 2022 I e-mailed Alliance outlining the circumstances informing them I was the keeper but not responsible for parking the vehicle. I offered to pay any outstanding parking fee we had incurred on the day plus a maximum of £10 to cover any costs they had incurred. They failed to respond to this e-mail. The next correspondence was three years later when I received the 1st of three Dept recovery letters all of which I have ignored.
Now I’ve received this LBC I’m unsure which is the next best course of action. I’m aware of a number of letter templates but not certain if any fit my circumstances.
I’d rather hack my own arm off rather than give money to Alliance Parking who I believe are a most disreputable organisation.
Could you possibly point me in the right direction.
Yours in Anticipation
