    Non-compliant NtK based on 'Date Given'. Date of Sending (07/08) means that the NtK didn't arrive until day 15 (11/08), 28/07 being day 1.

    If you haven't revealed the driver's identity and you were definitely not the driver, this should be a winner in court. But you will need to understand the intricacies and be able to articulate/argue them with a Judge.

    That’s interesting. I guess I’m saddling up for court then? 

    Haven’t heard anything further as of yet though and how do you/I know that I didn’t receive it till day 15?? 

    Many thanks!

    @Umkomaas, that would've been true if the parking incident occurred in 2020 but it took place in 2018.

    By my reckoning, I think the NtK arrived before day 15.

    Oops 🙊 !  Looking at this year's calendar. Sorry OP - follow @KeithP's advice.

    When I see these BWLegal claims as above, it is like reading a childrens book that has not been edited and is full of fantasy.
    They are entitled to add interest but why have they taken so long to bring this to court, over 2 years ?
    Most judges will not allow interest on such trivial claim

    The fake £60 which they claim is allowed by the code of practice ?  .... well it maybe in the code but as you don't belong to an ATA and you have no code of practice, nothing you have agreed on and for you, there is NO CONTRACT. They do however believe that the £60 can be shown in small print on the sign ?

    The judges don't agree and mostly deduct that as well.

    I trust you have read what happens to BWLegal in court, it's not pleasant reading (for them)
