    1. Start billing them for my time
    Total waste of time.  Stop feeling you have some special place in this process.

    What do you think you should do?  We do need people to think these through for themselves. The more you take ownership for your case, the more confident you will be in dealing with it, and the better your chances of success.

  • Thank you for the very fast replies 
    I think I should raise a SAR with PW legal as well to see if they have been told the truth about the PCN
    I've also contacted them and rejected their claim on the basis of the addition of £60 to the parking charge for debt recovery costs 
    and asked them to both explain why they have done so and on what legal basis it has been added 
    and because of the unclear information that was provided about the need to park in specific bays that was omitted from their webpage and only provided in a subsequent email after booking

    I wouldn't bother.  No point because the PPCs don't explain why the PCN was issued.  It's a conveyor belt, no-one has asked what it's about.

    Totally pointless and drives me mad because you will then come back wondering if we are wrong when BW Legal pretend it's recoverable, and you will ask what your next step is and the entire waste of time repeats itself...

    This is why NONE OF THE ABOVE IS IN THE NEWBIES THREAD.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    There is no point in sending BWL a SAR,

    You have already asked them about the fake £60 and their reply was "your email is noted"

    Failing to explain their claim is now their problem and now it is up to a judge to decide on their fate.
    You have already told them not to bother with the nonsensical ... "The code of practice allows them"
    You have already told them it is against Beavis etc etc.

    A no explanation claim becomes an unreliable claim.   So we just wait to see what other excuse they dream up

  • I will do as you have advised 
    Their email response was to the request to delay for 30 days 
    They have yet to reply to my request for them to explain the extra charge(s) I will post  what & if they do
    Thank you
