Peculiar Situation - BW Legal
LY7
Posts: 11 Forumite
Recently gone through an unusual situation with BW Legal.
1) Received an LBC which contained no information about the infraction whatsoever; date, time, proof imagery, contract with PPC, pre-action protocol not adhered too (given 20 days response, not 30), direction of whether they are pursuing the driver or owner, nor proof of signage.
2) Ignored this, then received a letter from BW legal explaining a CCJ was made, with information of payment.
3) Receive a letter from HM Courts explaining that due to a technical failure, the initial claim form was never sent.
4) The initial claim form from HM Courts is sent, receieved, and appealed.
5) Receive a letter from BW Legal explaining they are going to continue with the claim and provide a directions questionnaire.
6) There is still no clear documentation outlining the details of the claim; time, date, car reg, location, contract with PPC, etc.
Would like to understand what should be done next? According to the Direction Questionnaire, the options are:
1) Go to court
2) Mediation/Settlement
3) Pay
It is believed that due to the fact key information still hasn't been given a settlement, mediation would be the wrong choice of action and a court proceeding should be pursued.
One further question - does all paperwork need to be provided as originals, or could photographs with clear names, details etc. or scans of documents be used as evidence?
Many thanks in advance for you help on this situation.

Im hoping you sent an actual DEFENCE in?
Why didnt you SAR the original company? Then you would have these details. I REALLY hope your defence pointed out these deficient particulars?
