TRUSTPILOT ABOUT BWLEGAL ....
You are not alone and your story could help others.
https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/bwlegal.co.uk
(Ignore the post by Shelley, very clearly a fake review)

WARNING: Are you receiving unsolicited phone calls from BWLegal chasing unproven debts ?? HARASSMENT PHONE CALLS
Such parking so called debts can only be proven by a judge in County Court

If you are being pestered by BWLegal, write to them requesting they cease and that all communications should be by letter only.
REGARDLESS, BLOCK BWLEGAL ON YOUR PHONE

If BWLegal ignore you, complain to the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority)
https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/problems.page


ALSO COMPLAIN TO THE ICO
You can report nuisance calls and spam texts to the ICO here

From 17/12/18 directors responsible for illegal calls will be personally fined

======================================
BWLEGAL ADD ON A FAKE £60 ?
In addition to the 'parking charge', the Claimant's legal representatives, BWLegal, have artificially inflated the value of the Claim by adding costs of £60 which has not actually been incurred by the Claimant, and which are artificially invented figures in an attempt to circumvent the Small Claims costs rules using double recovery.

THE FCA which BWLegal are regulated by,
As you know, the FCA recently told WONGA to repay £2.6 million
for unfair debt collection practices and adding fake amounts. This
is what BWLegal are doing and so a complaint to the FCA is in order

On the subject of double recovery ... Gladstones solicitors also
try the £60 scam on. A case in Basingstoke on the 16th Jan
2019 ... "The judge laughed and said something along the lines. "It doesn't surprise me you don't want to pursue the additional £60 because it's not the first time we met and you already know I wouldn't allow this additional costs to be awarded".

    Remember Newbies, in a county court there is not a precedence,
    unlike higher courts.

    You can however refer to the above cases and I doubt if any judge in county court would rule against or disagree with their fellow judges

    The BWLegal claim of Elliott v Loake and CPS v AJH Films
    is now dead in the water

    It is, as long as people know what to argue and their local court isn't Wigan!

    Yes but would any judge at Wigan ignore the overwhelming
    evidence and responses of other courts once shown ??

    Probably BWLegal are now working nights to find the next

    Only the 'Appeal level' decisions are persuasive on the County courts, though.

    Some drivers have printed these out and given them to a judge. The judge though agreed with C-M words about the "level" of court i.e. Appeals, High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

    The judge then added in the comments that she would have needed the official transcript as well anyway.

    So though BM's advice is logical, it is not the way the courts work.

    Thanks IamEmanresu and so questions please

    Do BWLegal provide an official transcript of the two cases
    they refer and does not the judge have each case on record with the courts database

    Pappa, can i suggest you show gladstones as a new thread as this one is for BWLegal

    We can then build on that.
    This is for newbies so they have a better understanding

    After all, the PPC's proudly display their wins on their sites
  • I, and several other like minded and generous people, fund getting transcripts when we feel they are useful.

    This needs the co-operation of the defendant, as they have to order it and then get refunded once it is ready.

    I try and get a cross-section of different judgments to illustrate different winning arguments, rather than a whole lot of cases, which say, show Elliott v Loake and CPM v AJH Films to be not relevant.
