Hi
I received a "Notice to Keeper (Postal - Non PoFA)" parking charge from UKCPS on 22 August 2025.I responded to confirm I am the keeper of the vehicle identified on the parking charge, and disputing the charge. I confirmed I would not be identifying the driver, and requested the parking charge be cancelled.
UKCPS wrote back to me to advise that my appeal (!) had not been successful, along with a page of video stills showing my car and a number of random images of "No Stopping" notices and colour coded satellite images of the road area in question.
I wrote again to UKCPS, re-stating my position and confirming that I had not submitted an appeal, and pointing out that contrary to their claim, they could not recover the outstanding balance from myself as registered keeper on the assumption that I was the driver.
They wrote again to me to tell me that they were "satisfied the parking charge was issued correctly in line with the terms and conditions displayed on site" and that the charge remains valid. They also pointed out I had missed my timeframe to submit an appeal to the IAS. Which I had.
The next correspondence came from Trace Debt Recovery on 10/12/25, again on 5/1/26 and finally again on 21/1/26. All correspondence from Trace Debt Recovery went unanswered.
The latest correspondence is from Moorside Legal, received today (19/2/26) and dated 11/2/26 as a Letter of Claim.
I have read a number of posts on FTLA and have been guided by them up until this point. As we are now going into the "fun" legal part, I am keen to proceed as correctly as possible. I need to respond to Moorside Legal's letter of claim within 30 days (advised by them) and their letter is dated 11/2/26.
I would thus be very grateful for help / direction as to response at this point.
Kind regards
