BW Legal and 2011 ticket

leon103

I can't seem to find my original thread but in short ....

In February 2011 I had a parking ticket issued for over staying at an excel car park. Dozens of threatening letters followed. The advice back then was to ignore which I did.

I heard nothing for years until the last few months. First I was receiving mobile phone calls and now several letters from bw legal requesting payment.

The latest letter came today saying if I don't pay by 14 Nov they will take me to court and I will have a ccj.

Any advice? Can they continue to harass me nearly 6 years on?

Regards

they CAN harass you for upto 6 yrs in England / wales , this letter is possably to check if you have moved and not getting mail , if this is the case then they will fire in for a default and YES by ther time you knew about this you WOULD have had a default


you need to reply to B+W , people will advise on the correct wording

people will advise on the correct wording


Arkle v Pressdram seems appropriate.

So 6 years has passed, they shouldn't be chasing this debt?

if you ignored everything before, question how BWLegal got your phone number.

If this was 2011, it's pre POFA2012 so they need to know who the driver was at the time .... you are not going to say, let alone remember.

BWLEGAL ARE WRONG AGAIN ..... They keep doing this ... so sad

They have no right suggesting you will get a CCJ as it's not up to them and this is one reason why BWLegal are being investigated by the SRA.

BWLegal are now a company who have firmly placed the SRA into disrepute and fast becoming a untrusted organisation.

These "scary boys" need to win in court first before anything.
If you lost you get up to 28 days to pay and only if you don't would a CCJ come into play.

Do enjoy reading the recent case where BWLegal chanced their luck
http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/excel-advocate-reduced-to-tears-as.html

The judge condemned the BW Legal evidence pack and spoke with absolute disdain for the poor quality of evidence prepared by Sohail Ismail.

The letter you have is a BWLegal threat-o-gram.
If they want to chance their luck in court with you, they will issue court papers.
BUT WHO WILL THEY ISSUE THEM TO ????

AND, what would a judge say as it's pre POFA2012

What puzzles me is this ..... are BWLegal actually aware that with every new thread on MSE, Peppipoo, Parking Prankster etc, also appears on google, the most used search engine, within minutes.

Anyone searching BWLegal will see page after page on this bad company. Do they really think this is good PR ??

If you look at the BWLegal website, http://www.bwlegal.co.uk/
It reminds me of very basic sites 10 years ago.
This type of site even then could be done by children

We are waiting on the SRA now

Not sure how they got my number. The one time I answered it I said I can't remember any ticket and told them to recheck their records. I blocked the number, although they have rang from other numbers.

What is POFA12?

What should I do from here?

pappa_golf

o9k , if you do not reply , they will just issue court papers Arkle v Pressdram may do the trick (google it) , however a judge may not be happy

Reading some other threads I am getting very confused.

I have worked out I need to reply but not sure saying what.

Coupon-mad

Just copy one from another BW Legal thread, writing only as the registered keeper. Nothing about who might have been driving. We have hundreds of BW Legal threads so take your time and search the forum for 'BW Legal letter' and copy one you like. It's merely a matter of denying liability as keeper and asking a few questions to tie them up, e.g. ask for photos of the signage at the car park seeing as this is five years ago.

Ask how/why they are trying to hold you liable as keeper, seeing as this was prior to the POFA 2012 Schedule 4 (ermm...Google it).

Then when they reply, reply again and ask for the photos again if they fail to produce them. Then to tie them up over Christmas/new year and prevent any claim form arriving, report them to the SRA for misleading letters, as per LoveNorfolk's BW Legal thread (no link - you can find that one in ten seconds as you are a longtime MSEer!).

I found your original posts but don't think you had a thread of your own:
