Subject: UKCPS Leeds Station – Letter of Claim from Moorside Legal – help needed please

Vehicle Registration: KR58EFK
PCN Number: GCL176365
Issue Date: 07 November 2025
Location: Leeds City Station

The Situation

I am the registered keeper. I have never identified the driver.

The vehicle was photographed stopping briefly. My review of UKCPS's evidence shows the vehicle was present for approximately 7 seconds (timestamps 15:14:23, 15:14:28, 15:14:30).

Critically, in the first image (15:14:23), the vehicle's brake lights are illuminated – proving it was in gear, under control, and paused momentarily in traffic due to an unexpected barrier at a previously familiar drop-off point.

Timeline

· 07/11/2025 – PCN issued
· 09/12/2025 – I appealed to UKCPS
· 19/12/2025 – UKCPS rejected (template letter – I have a copy)
· 22/01/2025 – I disputed with Trace Debt Recovery (email)
· 24/02/2026 – Follow-up email to Trace
· 25/02/2026 – Trace replied, ignoring my evidence
· 29/03/2026 – Moorside Legal Letter of Claim received (30-day deadline)

My Position

1. No stopping occurred – 7 seconds, brake lights on = momentary pause, not a prohibited stop
2. Keeper liability not established – I have not identified the driver
3. Amount claimed is a penalty – not a genuine pre-estimate of loss

What I Need

1. How should I respond to the Moorside Legal Letter of Claim?
2. I will upload documents as requested – just tell me which ones you need first.

Thank you for any advice
