This is surely a case of passing this to CMA to investigate as this type of correspondence is not in the public interest and is misleading

I'm happy to do that @patient_dream , do I need to wait for my case to be closed before I report them? Also is there a template I could use to send to CMA?

Just FYI, an email summary from BAC:

Further to the advice session on 23.02.26 as agreed I have summarised the advice provided into bullet points.
We advised the following;

You received a parking charge notice (PCN) to keeper as your vehicle was not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space.
You did not pay the charge or appeal the parking charge within the 28 day time limit. Information on how to contest the charge was clearly given in the PCN.

Although the ‘appeal’ option is no longer available to you, you may file a defence through the civil courts in the event that UK Parking Control issue a county court claim against you.

You have 14 days to file a file a defence or 28 days to file an acknowledgment of service (extra time to file a defence).

If unsuccessful a CCJ will remain on your credit file for six years from date of the order (unless paid in full within one month of the date of the order) and can impact on your credit rating and lead to enforcement action.

You may at the discretion of UK Parking Control, make a reduced offer to clear the balance, for the ‘avoidance of costs’ and in accordance with debt pre-action protocol via the email link.
