Complaints to Ombudsman about B W Legal.

Some of these are upheld and some dismissed. Once they reach a certain level of complaints it's £550 a time. That is more expensive than the small claims process for BW.
Any complaint regarding a parking incident would have to relate specifically to their handling of the debt collection.
Parking claims chased by collection companies such as BW have not been proved in court they are "disputed claims".
Anyone such as a vulnerable person who has received letters chasing a claim could have a case if they have not checked first before sending out letters.
Anyone with a shielding letter needs to hang onto it.

The more I think about these crazzies, the more stupid they become.
The answer to these crazzies is DON'T instruct the dodgy legals to add the fake £60 as the claim is doomed
The sheer lack of intelligence in the parking industry is astounding.
OR, don't be misled by legals to add £60 ....... you will be scuppered AS YOU WELL KNOW2 -
It appears that the link in my recent post above times out. Input BW Legal and it will bring up all the decisions.

I particularly like the complaint from Miss B. It will make you smile.

Hi - on the SAR from my PCo, they list the additional debt as "Debt Recovery Charge" and it's is shown as £50.00. Is it worth referring to this inconsistency in my defence?0

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.
