If you know of a website that can get it all sorted for just £12 that sounds too good to be true!


But you are being unnecessarily frightened about your future employment/credit rating.


A CCJ only goes against your credit rating if you actually get one (after ignoring a court claim or attending a hearing and losing) and ignore it for a month.

And a CCJ will never appear on a CRB check!

£16 actually...just checked my previous thread 100% genuine according to the experts on here who suggested it.


What shall I do??

if its PPAL they dont take on IPC cases and I doubt they will deal with these zzps/right hassle cases either

IGNORE unless you get real court papers is the correct course of action

Only you can decide.


Obviously then the £16 route is a cheaper option than paying up if you have lost the will to see it through. (Though usually the £16 companies charge this to deal with appeals - you are too late for that stage, and doubt they will take you on now for £16)

Hi guys,

I've now received a final notice from bw legal about county court proceedings and something about a CCJ. I paid the £16 recommended by someone earlier in the thread and I've kept in contact with the company and they keep telling me to ignore these letters. Any more advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm still a little concerned about this.

Best advice is to search 'BW Legal £54' to read all the other threads like this, this week! Various response letters are shown, linked or suggested.

Each situation is different so using the same letter surely isn't advised. I've just posted on another thread and the photo of the letter she/he has posted is the exact same.

No each situation isn't much different.

How does this sound.

Dear BW Legal,

The debt is denied. The signage was not sufficiently visible to form a contract. The driver was a member of staff and parked in what they understood from the signage to be the staff car park. Please refer the debt back to the principal.

Please also note that as the debt has been formally denied from day one, your debt collection costs of £54 are not appropriate. The amount is also excessive. I refer you to ParkingEye v Somerfield where debt collection costs of £60 were found to probably be a penalty by HHJ Heggarty.

I wish to raise a formal complaint regarding your letter. Requiring a response within 10 days to a letter before claim is against practice directions, which require a minimum of 14 days.

Additionally, you are misrepresenting the legal process. A CCJ is not automatically entered following a successful hearing. The losing party has 14 days to make payment and if they do this has no effect on credit or employability.

Please follow your formal complaints procedure. If I am not happy with your response, I will escalate to the CSA.

Yours faithfully,

I wouldn't even know how to escalate this to the CSA. Heck I don't even know who they are.

Yes but Google does ... as does this forum if you just pop into the search box 'BW Legal CSA' or 'LBCCC CSA' to find any other pseudo 'Letter Before County Court Claims' threads where reporting to the CSA was recommended.
