I got a reply from bw legal!

fair enough , but one topic that crops up on here time and time again is this following mantra type reply

IGNORE the debt collectors

only ask for help and advice over the next 6 years if or when you receive either an LBC or an MCOL from either the PPC , actual solicitor acting for the claimant , (or the landowner)

you are at this LBC letter stage , Letter (s) Before Court Claim (or LBCCC - Letters Before County Court Claim)

nobody has a problem with you posting a thread on here or PPP, as you are at the LBCCC stage , after 4 years , so they have a further 2 years to harass you , which they are doing (as they are doing to thousands of other people , so a veritable tsunami)

they have had this power since 1973 , since the small claims court system came into being , so its not new, but they are using it to be their bully boys , they are abusing the court system by using it to spread misery and extort money by any means necessary, some would say by deception , subterfuge and weasel words. I am sure you come across bullies like this in your profession , even in schoolyards or on faceache or tweeter , or snipchat)

we can only tell you what you need to do based on what some knowledgeable people like G@N and others are saying on pepipoo , CAG , MSE , legal beagles and other forums etc

that advice has already been given , whereas your personal circumstances do not come into it as its about court , even homeless people with nothing at all face court daily, the lack of means to pay a fine for the theft of a whisky bottle is not taken into consideration apart from the punishment (which may involve non-monetary decisions).

in your case not paying the judgement in good time would still mean a 6 year CCJ on your record , even if the case was brought about by an unpaid plumber who fixed your broken shower !! (or a roofer who fixed the roof , or an unpaid double glazing firm that fixed the panes in the broken windows)

ie:- its not about "what happened" , its about a law that allows one entity to take another to court , as you see on Judge Rinder almost daily (because that is what that programme is about , smalll claims , MCOL if you prefer)

Thanks again. I didn't mean that my current financial predicament would influence them in any way - it just makes me need to keep up the ping pong letters in order to hold onto my cash. It must be frustrating to you all having many of us witter on, but I (and i expect many others) post here when I feel I haven't found/aren't sure I have found the best fit response...... and in hope you kick me back into fight mode!

Hey you, listen to coupon-mad and everyone else on this thread.

Consider yourself kicked in the b*m and FIGHT THE SCAM

Look BWLegal are not smart cookies. If they were, they would not have backed themselves into a corner with their menacing letters.

That is why the SRA are being inundated with complaints and it's all about BWLegal.
Right now, none of us know what will happen but with the prankster report, our guess is that BWLegal will soon be on the next ship to planet drongo.

Like a lot these companies, they look no further than £££'s and not into the real facts. They work on the basis that many will just pay up ..... not something you will do
If the SRA do nothing, bet they will though, the SRA will fall into disrepute, courtesy of a rogue trader to which currently there are 4 main ones who are playing the scammers game

Also, is it my imagination or do the forums seem a little less busy on the BW front?

It has been noted
We do know there is an SRA investigation into BWLegal
