Moorside Legal Services Reviews 

Only getting one star as couldn't give 0. Reluctantly paid them the parking fine they had chased me for. I know they received the cheque as it was tracked delivery and it was signed for at their offices. I rang to make sure they had it, they confirmed they had an sent an email to confirm they were cashing it. The money left my account a few days later. Then a few weeks date I got an email saying they hadn't cashed the cheque and I needed to pay it again! I refused they said they were taking me to court as hadn't paid. I provided them with evidence the money had gone out and that it was paid into their bank as confirmed by their own and my bank. They didn't respond. I raised a complaint that they "investigated" found they had done nothing wrong and I still owed them the money! Wrote to them again, that was 28 days ago, they didn't reply to that or emails. Yesterday I got back from holiday to a letter from the court saying they were claiming default and I needed to most.
I have reported to West Yorkshire police for fraud and the Solicitors Regulatory Authority

These idiots keep sending letters to my house to SIR/MADAM. Meaning the system in automated. I opened them and they are threatening to take SIR/Madam to court. The Director Mr Tom Clough apparently went to The University of Law for two years - he's on Linkdn, which is a Mickey Mouse establishment and furthermore they have not taught students the basics i.e that a 'person' has to attach itself to a contract in order for it to be so called 'legal'
Should be reported to the SRA!

I wouldn’t even give this company 1 star. Absolute shampbolic company never in my life have I dealt with such awful customer service (if you can call it that). Been trying to sort a parking fine for my son since 7th April! They lost my son’s forms for over 4 weeks, they ignored emails and when you get to speak to someone on the phone all they do is demand payment, what a joke of a company! They then proceeded to demand an unrealistic payment within 6 days of them locating my sons lost forms and slapped a CCJ on his file! I’ve reported this company to the SRA and emailed Adam Peacock Director Moorside, and shock horror he’s not responded. Extremely poor for a Director.

Told me they couldn’t assist me with my query over the phone and that I would have to email it as my specific issue needs to be escalated to a management team. They then ignored me for 2 months and finally responded saying they won’t help me and I’d just have to use the online portal to pay.

Not sure how I can pay £700pm to these clowns when I’m not even earning that much a month, and have to rely on help from friends to buy food and pay my rent

This company is an absolute joke. Their job is to scare you and take your money. After I settled the case with National Car Parks directly and got confirmation email that they contacted them to close the case, these clowns are still chasing me to pay them weeks after. Good luck, idiots!

Terrible company sending CCJ to my previous address without allowing me to appeal a bloody insane parking ticket.

Imagine studying for years to only get a bottom feeding job like this!!!
Pathetic and laughable.
All that possibility extinguished to sad mediocrity.
Almost makes me feel upset for them. Not.

Been trying to get in contact with this company regarding a PCN. Getting auto reply’s to every email and have been trying for a week to get someone to contact me but no joy whatsoever.

This company are bunch of money grabbing thieves pursued myself for an alleged parking infringement.
despite the fact, i have the proof of paid ticket, proof that the shell company Anchor Security Services LTD, also in an email admit i have a paid parking ticket .
They also use ILLEGAL Methods to gather your personal data, ie block witheld number so you must phone unrestricted they then save your number and sell on to OVERSEAS Scammers & fraudsters .. also they phone you late at night an make credible threats of violence . until you call back with a recording and then they offer to settle with you but you must sign a NDA .. Note several directors at Anchor are under investigation for sex grooming gangs same director are linked to moorside.. DONT PAY THEM DONT NOT AGREE TO BE PAID OFF, DO NOT SIGN THEIR NDA

they are claiming that i put £20 but i owe £8-0 plus £60 for there fee. i have never not paid for fuel.

This company behave like a bunch of money grabbing thieves pursued my disabled seriously ill brother for an alleged parking infringement and threatened to take to court he was becoming sicker by there harassment so asked me to pay nearly three hundred pounds for him which i did .do not trust these money grabbers going after the sick and vulnerable wish i could give them minus 1000.

This company is merely buying alleged parking infringements ,and then harassing people into paying by bullying tactics.

Credit rating went down - did not know why spoke to Experian they said I had a ccj which they thought was for parking fine as the solicitor who issued the ccj Moorside Legal dealt with parking disputes. Experian confirmed parking notice and ccj issued to address I had left in 2022. Rang Moorside did not want to know got an email address out of them sent email which I also copied to Adam Peacock (CEO) - no response. They are not interested in listening to the truth or putting right their mistake just want to extract money from you

I am extremely disappointed with Moorside Legal. As a disabled individual, I was let down when I wrongfully received a PCN despite clearly displaying my disabled badge. After providing all the necessary evidence, they sided with the parking company, PCM, rather than supporting my case. I spent countless hours pursuing this matter only to lose in court. I feel that my situation was not given the attention it deserved, and I caution others to IGNORE these people.

Totally agree with previous comments. Am being harassed because THEIR tech was faulty. I paid for my parking but they are still chasing me 10 months later. Time for this trade to be cleaned up.

Scammers, don't pay a penny to this company, they are a stranger to an "alleged debt"!

This company is the third debt collector acting on behalf of Ocean Parking.
No parking infringement was made and this company is as bad as the others for not looking at the history and situation.
just another bunch of Leeches

Disgraceful behaviour towards a vulnerable disabled person

Moorside have contacted me even though I have already provided their client with proof that I am not in breach of contract. I am being pushed to pursuing legal action for harassment

Shameless money grabbing via NCP car parks. This is a legally dubious fines company pretending to be a parking company. Business model is: NCP make payment difficult with faulty tech, hoping you'll make an error so they can hand it off to Moorside Legal who will aggressively pursue you through the courts for £265 instead of 95p.

Even when you agree to a court hearing - which everyone should by the way, you can search online for how to do this - they will try to bully you more by threatening that these defences dont work and they you must pay them.

They will also try to get this review removed by demanding lots of information, and if you don't provide it will ask Trustpilot to remove it.

Hopefully if enough people push back against this type of extortion it will finally be banned, as private clamping was.
