    Thanks for all the help so far. Defence is in and receipt confirmed. I have been sent the directions questionnaire and today received the copy of the claimants DQ. I've reread Newbies threat and understand I need to get my DQ in before the deadline and decline mediation. That's it for now right?
    Sorry for more questions. Maybe just looking for reassurance. I feel sick everytime a new letter arrives at the moment :(

    Chin up, can't see you losing this one and it is worth the journey and the fight.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Help. Worrying again.
    Been away for a few weeks. Returned to a letter from BW legal stating they've reviewed my defence and giving further information that they will rely upon and letter from the court offering mediation (I know not to accept this) and giving a court date in May. They want witness statement by next Monday! I thought I'd have more time. Claimant has until tomorrow to pay £25 in order for case ahead. I should be assuming they will and getting on with my witness statement right? Panicking that I don't have enough time to get it all together.

    No to mediation. If BWLegal are convinced they will win,
    they would go to court.

    Keep in contact with the court about their fee being paid.
    Do not assume they will pay in time

    Get your WS done.
    Remmeebr it is a statement of facts, so start with who is RK of vehicle, etc. Then go through in chronological order the events

    You must reference your evidnce from your WS, so photos etc.

    I don't have photos as alleged contravention was back in 2012. They have photos of the vehicle I recall but haven't seen those in some time. Have tried googling for their signage at the time but haven't found anything yet.

    nd giving a court date in May

    Who is giving a court date in May. Is this a court letter? Or is this something that BW are stating?

    A court date can only come from the court in a Notice of Allocation which gives the date by which BW need to pay the hearing fee.

    If this date is from BW could we see the letter but take your personal details off.

    What about unreasonable costs? Surely, by anyone's standards, the PPC is behaving unreasonably and is causing the OP an unnecessary amount of work.

    This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

    Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

    Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

    The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

    http://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/2f0384f2-eba5-4fff-ab07-cf24b6a22918?in=12:49:41

    and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by Christmas.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
