Ok, do you not think it may be of use to write back saying that I never state I wasn't the driver but that I do not know who was driving? Or is that working against me? I'm also wondering if it's worth writing to them saying as this is pre pofa there is no keeper liability? Anyone have thoughts on them or shall I just leave it?

Hello everyone! I have received a letter from them today saying "We refer to your letter dated 18/08/16 the contents of which have been duly noted. We note from your correspondence that you state you were not the driver at the time of the PCN. As details of the driver had not been forthcoming to suggest otherwise our client in the absence of the drivers details reasonably presumes you with the driver and we refer your case to Elliot V Loake (1982) We confirm that your position has been noted and we will now seek our clients instructions on initiating County Court proceedings. Yours faithfully BW Lwgal" As we can see from the letter I sent them I didn't state I was not the drive I stated I don't know who was driving at the time. Is that worth replying to them or shall i ignor at this point? Thanks in advance!

Taking advice i have shortened it to "18 August 2016, Sir / Madam, I write with regards to a letter I received from you with the above reference dated 12 August 2016. Your letter makes reference to a parking charge issued over 4 years ago. There is no registered keeper liability, therefore I have no liability in the matter and I do not know who was driving the vehicle at the time. Yours faithfully" I will post this off and update this thread if/when i hear anything back, which i suspect i will! Thanks.

Ok no worries. So more like "18 August 2016, Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing to you with regards to the letter I received from you with the above reference dated 12 August 2016. Your letter makes reference to a parking chargeicon issued over 4 years ago. As the registered keeper of the vehicle in question at the time I have no liability in the matter and I do not know who was driving the vehicle at the time. Yours faithfully"

This is the letter i intend to send, if anyone has any suggestions on this i should add / take away please let me know, thanks "18 August 2016, Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing to you with regards to the letter I received from you with the above reference dated 12 August 2016. Your letter makes reference to a parking charge issued over 4 years ago. As the registered keeper of the vehicle in question at the time I have no liability in the matter as I cannot recall who was driving at the time. I have no intention of paying the money demanded by your client and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended. Yours faithfully"

Thanks for the advice so far. I will send them a short letter tomorrow just as you've said above. I will post a draft of it on here before I send it just for people's opinions

Hello everyone. This is my first thread. Today (17/08/16) I have received a letter from a company called BW Legal, they are very popular name on this forum it seems! In mid 2012 there was a fire at my home and my home insurance paid for my to live at a premier in for about 2 months while the house was repaired / renovated. The hotel carpark was run by excel parking and was a pay and display. It was about £9 ish per 24 hour Period and had to be paid in coins only. One day i over slept a bit and I was about 30 mins outside of my 24 hour period. Fair enough. based on the fact I had been parking there every single day for 30 or 40 days. My vehicle was quite distinctive as it had a huge Angry bird on the dash. I thought based on the fact I had already paid hundreds of pounds and always had a ticket the attendant would give me A bit of time as it was the same guy everyday. But obviously not. I didn't pay the ticket as i think it's completely unfair and excessive to expect someone to pay £100 for 30 minutes without a ticket when I purchased back to back 24 hour tickets And renewed my ticket after coming down and finding the PCN. Low and behold, 4 years later I have received a letter from BW Legal saying I owe them £154. £100 for the initial parking ticket and £54 for their legal costs and if they don't receive this in 16 days they have been asked by their client to start legal proceedings. This is the first letter I have got from anyone and I was quite surprised to get it so many years later. What advice would people give at this stage? Ignor? Send a debt denial letter? Any other advice? Thanks in advance.
