    No! my username isnt my real name. I never use my real name for anything.

    I bet your marriage certificate might be interesting reading! :rotfl:

    You're in good hands here, try not to panic at this early stage. You are responding in the exact way the BWL strategy was designed to create. Don't fall for it.

    as you have not disclosed whopthe driver was (edit post #1 please) then as its before oct 2012 when POFA2012 came in they will fail to win against the keeper and the keeper is not required to disclose who the driver was

    any legal defence will start with no locus standii and then move onto the fact this was before 2012 and they have not complied with POFA2012 anyway, despite it pre-dating POFA

    they have no idea who the driver was, keep it that way

    then its fairly easy to defend it if they try an MCOL on various legal points like no locus standii , no keeper liability , inadequate and poor signage etc

    and contact the BMPA , they may assist you with paperwork etc due to your circumstances, if you dont ask , you dont get

    What is a MCOL, and a BMPA
    ?

    Emma, Umkomaas is right, nobody knows how BW Legal will win in court ... the ones seen show they are not even fit to be in court.

    On another thread I asked what the "W" means in BWLegal any good replies from anyone ... could be WONGA but NAY, they were fined loads of dosh for their scam ..... what is the difference

    All acronyms are listed in the newbies FAQ sticky, post #2. But for the moment - Money Claim On Line and British Motorist Protection Association. Google will more often than not also provide the answer to acronyms.

    please edit post #1 and say what the driver may or may not have done

    the trick is never to use the following

    "me , myself , or I"

    I have but people have quoted me so I cant delete everything
