Pcn in pub carpark

Nopcn123

Hi
looking for some help.
recieved a pcn from Britannia for car being parked in pub carpark without giving reg at the bar, the driver had parked there loads of times and didn’t know about the new system.
pcn shows car entering and leaving with time stamps( driver not visible).
missed deadline to pay £60 as away second letter asked for £100- ignored this. Now have letter from BW legal asking for £170. Do I just wait for notice of claim or do I engage with them now?
thanks

If you have a Letter of Claim from B W Legal giving you 30 days notice,  use the LoC response template to email B W L with your response 

But 

If its a debt collection Letter,  ignore for now, because the LoC stage is the time to engage 

You should have got the pub or pub chain to cancel the PCN,  plan A in the newbies sticky thread in announcements

(And pubs wonder why they are losing custom...)

Personally I wouldn't reply to a BW Legal letter before claim. They tend to bluff and quite a lot of the time they then give up. I prefer to leave them hanging, unllike with DCB.

Yep - except if it does get to a hearing, the Judge will think better of you of you tried to engage early. After all, it's just a matter of copying & pasting the standard LBC reply.
