Has anyone ever been taken to court for a private parking ticket
from " Parking Shield ". I have received a ticket that has now
been passed onto " Trace Recovery ". Wondering if I can ignore
it.

I searched the forum and can find no mention of

Why do you ask? If you're looking for advice then read this and

So what if they "take people to court"? That is the very thing
you should want. I get really miffed when people think that
"your" is something bad. In over 99% of cases, "court" never
involves a hearing and the vast majority of cases are either
struck out or discontinued.
Just as for any useless debt recovery letter from Trace or any
other powerless debt collector, they can be safely ignored.
Their only "power" is to try and intimidate the low-hanging
fruit on the gullible tree into paying out of ignorance and
fear.
The most recent case I can find with Parkshield is a Letter of
Claim (LoC) issued through the utter incompetents at Moorside
Legal back in October. As it is through Moorside, you can
guarantee that it will either be struck out or discontinued.

Asking as received a letter from " park shield" for a fine and
wanted to know if I ignored it if they would take me to court. I
would post PCN however I sent the letter containing the PCN back
to them :-\
Thank you, does that mean it did end up going to court?

No. It means that they issued an LoC which means they may issue
a claim. Even if they do, so what? Easy to defend and beat.
Sending the NtK back is not a very clever move. They will just
confirm that the Keeper does reside at the address and move on
to the useless debt recovery stage.

Well I'm not in a poistion to attend court, i've just had a baby
so I wouldn't be able to attend without her.
Yh I gathered that after I already sent it. I know the debt
recovery can't do anything just really don't want a CCJ on my
record.
Do you know whats the final letter they send if you are being
taken to court? Also could I let it go that far then pay or
would I have to attend

Rest assured you won't be going to court any time soon. you
won't get a CCJ or anything else unless the whole process is
followed, they do in fact issue paperwork and they launch a
county court claim; they win, you don't pay. Only then could
they send "the boys" round. But it will never get that far if
you follow the advice given on here. Their process is a scam,
trying to get money out of you. They invariably never follow the
process set down in law.
If you get any more correspondence from them or their debt
collectors, post the paperwork here first. If you reply to them,
NEVER mention who the driver was. any parking contract is
between them and the driver. Liability cannot be transferred to
the registered keeper. There is no requirement to name the
driver. Stop worrying, we will help you, you won't have to pay a
penny, you won't be going to court. Have a nice Christmas.

There is a potential banana skin here - if Park Shield have the
incorrect address for you, the court paperwork will go to the
wrong place, and you may end up with a default judgement / CCJ
before you know anything about it. It's not clear from the
original post what circumstances led to the PCN and letter from
Trace - was it a notice on the car then letter, or a postal PCN,
then letter? Nor why you sent the letter back to Trace - did you
put not known at this address or something on it?
So, going pack to the time of the alleged infringement, was the
address on the V5C for the vehicle correct (don't assume, get it
out and check) and is it still your current address? If no to
either, then you need to send a data rectification notice to
Park Shield to get them to update your address to ensure that
any subsequent paperwork comes to you. Should you move within 6
years of the infringement (the time limit for lodging a claim),
you would also need to do a(nother) DRN to make sure that Park
Shield have a current address.
