In view of the fact that BWL are claiming for more than the law allows you should repoet them yo their regulatory body, the SRA.
http://www.sra.org.uk/home/home.page
This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.
Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week, hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct
The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. It has even been suggested that some of these companies have links with organised crime.
Watch the video of the Second Reading and committee stage in the House of Commons recently. MPs have a very low opinion of this industry.

I didn't know that, thought I've noticed that the car park in question is now managed by Highview parking.
How can Britannia be taking me to court if they're dormant though?0 -
The Deep,
Are BWL likely to suffer any consequences if I report them to SRA?0 -
Castle,
I've followed the link and the web page shows its status as active, am I missing something here?0 -

So far, the SRA appear to not be interested, but who knows, the sheer number of complaints may tip the balance.0 -
