I have a set of documents in front of me that BW Legal claim were sent to me by the County Court Business Centre in Northampton. I know they are FAKE. I am a retired Civil Servant who spent 30 years using Controlled Documents, County Court forms are Controlled Documents.
BW Legal are sending Fake documents in an attempt to force payment from us and cheat the County Courts of their fees.
County Court Documents can be viewed online on the Government website. If they are not identical to the ones you have received they are Fake.
I have reported my concerns to Trading Standards and will be complaining to FCA as well. I will not be responding to the FAKE COUNTY COURT DOCUMENTS.
Phone the Northampton CCBC and check out the claim reference number. While noting your prior experience, our current experience suggests that BWL court documents are all real and should not be ignored.
Come back with your findings, but work on the basis that the claim is absolutely for real. Otherwise in complete 'ignore everything mode' you are in danger of a credit trashing CCJ being registered against your name, with 6 years of credit grief.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.

As I have stated, I have in my possession Fake County Court Documents from BW Legal, as I know them to be fake I will not be contacting either BW Legal or the County Court Business Centre. I will of course be using them as evidence against BW Legal. Hope this helps.0

Using them as evidence for what, though?Berkeley_knows wrote: »As I have stated, I have in my possession Fake County Court Documents from BW Legal, as I know them to be fake I will not be contacting either BW Legal or the County Court Business Centre.

If you want to try to use them to wriggle out of a debt owed then I don’t think that you’ll have much luck, and I do hope that you aren’t the sort of person who’d do that.
If though you will be suing them, or contacting the police then good for you. Which is it, and will you let the forum know how it goes?0 -

You can only establish they are fake by contacting the court0 -
The Documents I have were not generated by the County Court or by the MCOL system.
The Documents have to be the latest issue and these are not, therefore they are invalid/Fake.
I am not suggesting that all BW Legal documents are Fake, However it only takes a few minutes checking on the Government Website to check whether they are real or not.0 -

I guess your issue will be with the court0 -

It's entirely your prerogative. But a reasonable person would cover all bases, just in case it was the court that made the error!0 -
I am not trying to wriggle out of anything, I object to BW Legal tactics to obtain payment by Bullying and harassment and my evidence is for Trading Standards and the FCA.0

I assume that means you've entered the Claim Number here:-
https://www.moneyclaims.service.gov.uk/first-contact/claim-reference
and nothing comes up/it states it is an invalid number?0 -
Hi, is it possible to post up a discription or picture of the forms you have received?
as I have never seen or heard of this tactic before ? and it could help others if they are fake
NEWBIES - HOW TO UPLOAD LINKS TO PHOTOS/SCANS TO MSE
To upload a photo/scan link, you first need to host it on a free photo hosting site (like Dropbox, Imurg or Tinypic), copy the URL, paste it here, but change the http to hxxp and we'll do the conversion. Newbies can't directly upload links to photos/scans until they've a few posts under their belt.
thanks
