BW Reply to SAR request. Please advise

Hi,
I have followed your 'small claim' advise (post 2) and submitted a SAR request to Britannia parking, following the Letter of Claim from BW Legal. I've also informed BW legal by email about my request and asked for my case to go on-hold till Britannia replies.
Today I've received by post a reply by BW Legal saying in essence that they don't care unless instructed otherwise by Britannia. Is there a way to attach the letter here?
The Letter of Claim had as a deadline the 17th of January 2019. I have emailed them on the 14th of January (both Britannia and BW) however on their letter they claim that my email was received by them on the 18th of January. Is this a mistake or do they want to mislead me on accepting I lost their deadline?
Can you please advise if I should reply to this or not? I was tempted to reply by saying that as long as you don't note the correct date on your letter then I will just disregard it , but I am not sure this is the best way to go.
Just a bit of context regarding my PCN. I got two by Britannia Parking. They manage a parking behind a Travelodge. During my wedding last year I booked rooms there for my parents and my wife's parents. So I drove there for the first time and parked normally. Their sign says with huge letters that parking is free for 30 minutes and with very small letters that you have to take a ticket and put it on your windscreen even if you stay only half hour. But of course I didn't read this as I was rushing and considered that for half an hour wouldn't have to do anything. Well you can imagine how I felt when I received two PCNs by post. I appealed to one saying that your signage is misleading but of course they didn't accept that. Up to now I've been receiving the usual payment letters and I kept ignoring them. Now I received the Letters of Claim by BW Legal and decided to fight back.
Can you please advise?
