BW Legal Letter of Claim - Issued to business not individual

KeithP

No need to send the forms back.

Give your eyes a rest and wait patiently for a Claim Form to drop through your letter-box.

Just heard back from BW Legal regarding the SAR and they are refusing to put my case on hold unless they hear from Britannia. Are Britannia likely to respond in time? Deadline is 22/03 and I put the request in 4 days ago.
I need to return the reply form (but NOT the personal details bit) and I will leave it as late as possible to do this. I can't find any text to help me put together a reply using the SAR data (my eyes actually hurt). The Newbie's thread seems to skip this and go straight to court action and I have tried numerous searches with no luck.

It's what you could call, the joining of two brains with less thinking power than one brain.

If Britannia fail to respond, they are restricting you and so you have no option but to ask the court to strike out the claim.

If BWLegal and Britannia actually worked together as professionals, it might help them .... but they are not professionals

as above


if you have sent a SAR to the DPO at BRIT you are waiting for up to 30 days for a reply

as for B W LEGAL, they are saying that they will do what their client tells them to do, this is quite normal, so IGNORE and dont send any forms back, the newbies thread tells you not to fill in their forms


highlighted below

SAR is free. Ask for (as a minimum):

- ALL photos taken
- all letters/emails sent and received, including any appeal correspondence earlier
- if the car park was Pay and Display, ALWAYS ask for a PDT machine record from that day, of payments made (VRNs can be partially redacted but insist on getting this and follow it up if they refuse).
- all data held, all evidence they will rely on, and a full copy of the PCN, NTK
- and a list of all PCNs they consider are outstanding against you and/or this VRN, and remind them that any claim must be for all PCNs in one claim, not several separate claims.

DO RESPOND - but DO NOT use the 'reply forms'. You do not have to declare your finances!

As well as the SAR to the parking firm's Data Protection Officer (DPO), also write a letter - by email to Gladstones or BW Legal or directly to whoever the PPC is, if they are not using a solicitor. Your letter can state that you have sent their client a SAR and so you require a restriction of data processing and the case should be put 'on hold'. Confirm your correct 'address for service' (especially if you've moved and they've traced you & might revert back to an old address).

This is an EASY formal letter to write - it will not stop most claims but it looks better to respond. Gladstones & BW Legal will refuse. Please don't post about that...all as expected.

wait for your SAR and your MCOL to arrive

I thought the newbie post meant the financial forms, not the general reply form with the tick boxes. I've seen a few of these on here so I am hoping you know what I mean:
Section 1: Do you owe the debt... then boxes A-D
Section 2: How will you pay... then boxes E and F.
There is obviously no way I will be returning the financial statement forms!

I presumed I needed to send something back by their deadline. I didn't think I was supposed to ignore the Letter of Claim...
Sorry if those are daft questions!

you dont ignore the LBC, and you havent because you replied and told them to put it on hold , they refused pending their clients wishes

so you await their clients SAR (I assume to sent their client a SAR ?)

you do not , repeat , NOT fill in those financial forms, they set an arbitrary deadline , you are under no obligation to do what they ask, but you can send them a load of questions and a SAR if you wish, or keep repeating what you have asked them for under LBC rules (oct 2017 PaP)

so if you replied to the LBC and they replied , ignore them now and wait for the SAR reply from their client and wait for any MCOL from the CCBC in Northampton (or robustly reply seeking all data and info and signs and contracts etc, even if they refuse, its ping pong)

Perfect, thank you. SAR has already been sent to Britannia, so I'll sit tight!

they only want £10 if you ask for stuff you arent allowed

a SAR is free as long as you only ask for your own data and nothing more

perhaps you didnt read their reply properly (a lot of people have mentioned this and its not understanding what they have sent you)

Read that response from Brit again.

It's an automated response stating that if you have asked for something you are not entitled under a SAR, then the can charge you £10 for it.
