5 year old claim!!!

also please find the time to .........

Let your MP and Mrs (PM) May hear about how this awful threat affected you - and what you think about the rotten greedy 'parking industry'! Write your own or use the template provided by the BMPA.

Show them the rubbish you have received and ask why the Government thinks it is OK for consumers to be 'credit clamped' with a threat of court for SIX YEARS by this rotten industry of money-grabbers and ex-clampers? You only managed to extricate yourself with a level of 'never give up' determination over several months that many people would have failed to achieve even for a minute.

Suggesting that the only answer - if the Government dare - is for PPCs to be banned like clamping was, and for S56 of the POFA 2012 (that led to Schedule 4, keeper liability for these parasites) to be repealed.

Morning all - just wanted to keep you updated with developments. Following my 'Gan' letter, and BW Legal's subsequent response, I received another letter in the post yesterday. Basically, as I have understood it, it's another template letter in an attempt to get me to pay.

The gist of the letter is as follows:

'We wrote to you recently advising that our client may shortly be instructing us to commence County Court proceedings against you for the recovery of the above PCN and we also offered you a 40% discount. We are yet to receive payment and / or a response to our letter.
Claim your 40% Credit Today
you can still obtain your 40% discount against your PCN amount if you pay before 20th October 2016. If you take advantage of this offer, the revised amount you will pay is £126.00. This offer will expire by close of business on 20 October 2016, so it is very important that you contact us before that date to take advantage of the offer and avoid County Court proceedings being issued against you.

There is then a section how I can make the payment on-line. The letter finishes with the following:
What to do next
It is important that you contact us no later than 20 October 2016 to discuss the options available to you. We are here to assist you, but on expiry of the discount period on 20 October 2016 the offer will be withdrawn and our client may then instruct us to commence County Court proceedings against you for the recovery of the above PCN thereafter

Should I continue to ignore? I have also yet to send my reply to the last letter regarding the points they raised

As always, many thanks for your continued advice and help with this

legranfromage .... right now BWLegal have the "headless chicken syndrome"

It really is so sad that the SRA allow this rubbish.

Desperation or what ???

FACT:
It's pre POFA 2012. They need to be talking to the driver.

Ask for their help, ask them who was the driver ?

Coupon-mad

Do the same as the other poster who mentioned this letter yesterday. Search '40% credit' or 'bargain sale' on this board to find it.

Hi all - so, the next letter from BW Legal arrived on my doormat yesterday. It's a long one so I won't bore everyone by typing it out in it's entirety. However, the gist is as follows:
- further to the letter dated 9th August they are yet to receive payment and / or response to their letter (I replied denying any liability)
- pay balance by 26th November or their client MAY instruct legal action
- in the event of County Court Proceedings they will be seeking recovery of not only the balance but client's court fees, solicitors costs and statutory interest. They then provide a breakdown of these estimated costs with an estimated total of £303.65
- they then bring to my attention to the case of Parking Eye Limited vs Beavis (which I have seen mentioned several times in other posts on this forum). They inform me that the Supreme Court held that parking charges serve a legitimate commercial interest and are neither extravagant nor unconscionable. I quote this eliminates the main defence that you may have should the matter go to Court and this case will be relied upon, by our Client, in any County Court proceedings
- in the event they are instructed to issue a claim, and they successfully obtain a CCJ (which, according to the letter, is likely), then a CCJ will be recorded on your credit file for 6 years unless I satisfy the CCJ in full within a month (I am assuming this means paying the balance in full)
- if I fail to comply with the CCJ they reserve the right to take one of the following actions - warrant of control, attachment of earnings or order to attend court for questioning.
- to prevent all of the above from happening I need to pay the balance by 26th November to avoid the need for them to seek Client's instruction which may result in legal proceedings

And that is about it. It seems like another 'last chance' letter of which I have received half a dozen or more now. As far as I am concerned they still haven't identified who was driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged incident and as it dates back to Feb 2011 I have no idea myself.

Ignore all these (empty) threats!


Only take any notice if you get a letter before court action or an actual county court claim - if you do come back here for advice.
