Hi
I hope someone can help!
A keeper received a PCN from BW Legal and they have already pursued court with them (yay ) but basically, the keeper has been living in a shared house and never received their letters then, bearing in mind that the keeper never had/saw a ticket issued on my car either.
So about a month after the dated contravention, the keeper actually moved to a different house. Then around 4 months of living there, the keeper received their first letter, at which point, it was already £150 with all their imaginary fees. The keeper have obviously refused to pay this and ignored their letters going forward which is when they have finally pursued court.
Fast forward, court letters and that, the court declined mediation for some reason, however, the keeper is aware that the pursuer wanted to go for the mediation service.
The keeper dropped them an email and said that since the keeper havent really received their first letter, the keeper thinks that s/he should just pay the discounted rate of £60 and said that s/he would be grateful if they can approve for instalments but if not, the keeper is happy to pay it in full.
They then came back and said that they want the full rate of £254, £40 a month instalment. The keeper replied and said that s/he can't afford this, and can only afford £10 a month. They now want him/her to fill up an income and expenditure form but feel that this is too intrusive.
Realistically, what should the next steps be? The keeper's tempted to stand his/her ground and say that s/he's not prepared to pay anything rather than £10/month but will this work?
