Britannia Parking BW Legal court action threat
Comments

Interesting that this came up today - we received a batch of these at work for some Britannia parking charges.
Have BP only signed up with BW Legal recently, as previous threat-o-grams have come through DRP.
They got one of my polite "GFY" letters - we've responded to each of their charges previously, and BritPark are notoriously bad for POFA compliance.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

Love your thinking, a man after my own heart. If only we could tell everyone to tell BWLegal to GFY
BWL seem to make friends with the weirdest of scammers, right now it's the "odd couple" relationship with Britannia
The intelligence level of BWL is a lot to be desired and it seems they are hell bent on being whooped in court over the £60 double recovery scam they are currently running.
They got whooped so many times with their rubbish about Elliott v Loake and CPS v AJH Films which also rubbished Excel/VCS
I see recently they started that rubbish again.??
So, whilst BWLegal continue as money thugs, my suggestion is tell everyone to complain to the SRA and of course their MP
Sooner or later ???? ........0 -

My MP is Jared O'Mara.
My voice, along with many others in the area, remains unheard and effectively unrepresented.
I may create a template for SRA complaints though, just to stir up trouble. Could I make a separate complaint for each charge, because I get dozens of letters from QDR each month about bye-law 14 tickets.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

I think a template would be unwise as it would be seen as a copy and paste. People should write their own complaints
YES, 14 problems must equal 14 complaints
Bear in mind that QDR are the cheapo version of Wright Hassall, it would be worth saying about this duo
Labour MP Jared O’Mara, who was suspended after abusive messages he had made on social media resurfaced, has resigned from the party
Foolish Labour party for allowing him back
He was reinstated by the party, with officials saying he should attend training and be given a formal warning over the string of homophobic and misogynistic comments he had made online
I would imagine he has not been re-trained yet0 -

I'd only use a template because so many of the issues and scenarios I deal with and arguments I use are consistent.
Jared quit the Labour party rather than undergo training. , which speaks volumes about the make of the man. He now stands as an independent, but his attendance and voting record are abysmal, and does nothing noticeable for the constituents
The Commons is too noisy for him it seems, which is quite remarkable given that he used to be a DJ and promoter for one of the busiest bar & nightclubs in Sheffield.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
So I have now had a letter of claim (dated 19th December 2018).
I have subsequently contacted Britannia by email and telephone and advised that although our permission remains the same (we haven't done anything wrong) that I would be willing to pay the original £60 fine to stop all of this nonsense and the stress it brings.
Britannia refuse to discuss it and say I must only speak to BW Legal.
They clearly want the £100 fine amount along with BW Legal £60 "fee".
Is my only option now to send an SAR to both?
Any advice gratefully received.0 -
No SAR to BW Legal; that's not what the NEWBIES thread says.
And please, for your SAR to Britannia by email to their DPO, use the Legal Beagles template linked in the NEWBIES thread, not a long list of stuff.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

WOW you do believe in living in the danger zone.
Why take so long from the 19th Dec to tell us ??
The LBC times out within 30 days ???
Does the LBC provide proof of their claim, pictures, proof the amount etc. ???0 -
I've had pictures sent to me before and details from the parking machine but that was from the original letters.
Their current LBC has no proof of claim at all.
I have until 23rd Jan to respond so not really danger zone.0 -
Another email from Britannia today saying I must only deal with BW legal so I have requested SAR and asked BW legal to put the case on hold.
Is this correct?
Will this stop court action or just delay it?0
