Stepson final demand bw legal

rebekahR_2

Good morning

Assisting my stepson with this one

He’s now had a final demand for £160

Napier car park the machine was broken

I just want the lowest stress option

Do we leave it to go to ccj

Or just pay the damn thing ?

I’ll be the one dealing with it , and sorting any letters etc so I just want the least stress possible at this point

thanks in advance

No, do not let it go to a CCJ

No, do not pay !

Just take it one step at time, with our help , wait for the court claim, follow the process

all just sounds very stressful having to sort it . Is there any info at all ? How many hours should I expect to spend on it ?

It's mainly admin, no stress involved, if you study the excellent advice in the 2nd post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad ( tons of good info on here , so study other B W LEGAL cases too. )

It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours including studying the topic carefully, its mainly admin, but following our replies and advice is also crucial , meaning that it won't cost a penny. !

ok … I will have a look , thank you , see how tricky it looks for me to sort on his behalf

You will need him to login to his government gateway account in order to access his MCOL section, plus send emails from him, because everything is done under his name, you being his Personal Assistant

This Is necessary AFTER the Money Claim pack arrives in the post , so use the intervening time to get up to speed

On defending the Claim?

Half an hour copy & pasting the Template Defence into an online box (after adding his facts & recall about the event into ONE short & simple paragraph)!

I just want the lowest stress option.

It's as above.

Defending a claim is easier than appealing the PCN in the first place. It's a copy & paste online admin box filling exercise.

And note that a Claim Form is not a 'CCJ'.

And note that most LBCs are not followed by Claims at all. Most fizzle out. So he may as well ignore BW Legal's letters (but obviously NOT a Claim).

Make sure the address they have is always up to date because letters must be seen & opened promptly. That's all!
