    Don't be daft this is a typical nonsensical letter from BWLegal.   Was it signed by a Phillip Byers-Nolan ???
    It's actually signed BW Legal, like in handwriting as if that's a person's name!?! The letter was written by Kimberley Kaddra but there's no more information on her position. The email was from Olivia Woods who is a 'paralegal'!

    It's normal for any firm of solicitors that a letter is signed in the firm's name - you see it in conveyancing letters if you move house, or when will-writing, etc.

    I now received a response. An 11 page one to be precise. They tell me my defence is nonsensical rubbish that I've cut and pasted from the internet proving I have no real legal experience and I should just pay up! Not the most pleasing letter I've received. Not feeling very confident now! Is that the kind of thing I should have expected?
    Oh come on! You should know by now that this is a firm of shysters, who *never* do anythnig the once
    That same letter, with the exact same phrases and rubbish spouted within, has appeared *dozens* of times. 
    It has had its intended - and blindingly obvious - effect, which is to make you feel unsure. WEll, dont be so obviously manipulated, get *angryu* that theyve sent such rubbish to you, and use that anger to good effect.

    We've seen that letter so many times and it's been discussed here too often. 

    No-one needs to be posting about it as if it's a new thing that actually means something to their case.  It's an 11 page obvious template, sent in terrorem of Defendants.

    Why not complain to the SRA about the letter which you consider insulting and intimidating  I suspect that 99% of the parking ticket claims are against someone who has no legal experience and uses the internet to fight them.  Here ids the place to complain,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            https://www.sra.org.uk/

    Fab!
    BW - will you now threaten the OP with a set aside on the basis of your one set aside that was succesful? I wonder!
    OP - make sure you read the other thread on this, so you can see the discusion on how BWs "win", which will have cost their client a fair amount, means naff-all - it doesnt help them one bit.

    UPDATE!!!
    I have just received judgement from Northampton County Court. The claim is "struck out as an abuse of power". This is such a huge relief. Thanks to Beamerguy for his advice and encouragement. Great result!!!
    Well done on the win.  It is Abuse of Process but a win is still a win!
