    Action Fraud is a waste of your valuable time in my opinion.  I reported a serious fraud in the past and no action was taken (I sorted it myself though).

    A revised version of my complaint letter...

    Re: Complaint of Unscrupulous and Aggressive Business Practices of BW Legal
    To Whom It May Concern,
    I am writing to bring to your attention the unscrupulous and aggressive business  practices of BW Legal who are threatening court action in an attempt to obtain money by  deception, for a court claim they themselves discontinued following all of the claim being struck out. This is in breach  of DPA 2018 (GDPR), Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006, and SRA  principles.
    BW Legal was acting on behalf of their client KBT Cornwall Ltd t/a Armtrac Security Services who issued me with an unmerited Parking Charge Notice (PCN) on private land on 13th September, 2018. Having initially disputed the PCN, had my appeal to the client rejected, written letters of complaint to bring being the victim of the widely publicised private car park scamming practice to the attention of both the landowner and my local MP, BW Legal continued to harass me for over a year. This caused my family and me undue anxiety and distress,in addition to taking a significant amount of my time to research previous cases to defend my dispute of the PCN over this period. In May 2019, I received a County Court Claim, followed by a General Form of Judgement in September 2019, which struck out the claim on the basis that the particulars did not comply with CPR 16.4(1)a. This was subsequently followed by correspondence from BW Legal in October 2019, enclosing by way of service, their client’s Notice of Discontinuance; a copy having also been filed at court.
    Although BW Legal had been instructed by their client to file and serve a notice of discontinuance for all of the claim back in October 2019, to my surprise, I received the attached email on the 30th March 2020, which was also received in the post on the 30th April, whereby BW Legal are once again harassing me and attempting to extort money relating to the unmerited claim.
    Yours Sincerely,

    I received the same correspondence as the email (March 30th) in the post from BW Legal on the 30th April.

    Thanks KeithP.
    As well as Mr Will Hurley @ IPC, SRA, and Trading Standards, I am also considering a follow up email of this complaint to both the landowner and my local MP?

    Why not?  Emails are free.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    That's my thinking!
    I've now registered on the IPC Portal so I can get on with sending the complaints and then get back to finalising a revised draft of the LBA.
