NCP and BW Legal Crumble in Court and Pay £550 After Strike Out
When NCP tried to take Mrs. Downs to court over an unpaid parking charge, they had no idea they were walking into a legal ambush. With BW Legal representing them, they came prepared to win. Instead, they walked away with their case thrown out and a £550 legal bill to pay.
For Mrs. Downs, it was simple.
She didn’t go to court.
She didn’t pay the fine.
She let our team and our solicitor partners handle everything and walked away completely clear.
The Problem: A Late Notice and a Flimsy Claim
NCP issued a parking charge but waited nearly three months to send the Notice to Keeper far outside the timeframe allowed under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
The claim paperwork was also poorly drafted, and to make things worse for NCP, Mrs. Downs wasn’t even the driver at the time of the alleged offence.
She contacted us for help. We connected her with one of our solicitor partners at Lawrence and Associates, and the case quickly turned in her favour.
The Solution: Strike Out and Summary Judgment
The solicitor applied to have the claim struck out or dismissed early via summary judgment. The argument? That the claim had no solid legal basis and failed to link the defendant to the incident at all.
When the hearing came, BW Legal attempted to argue that the identity of the driver should be decided at trial. But our solicitor made it clear the burden was on NCP, and they had failed to prove their case.
To make matters worse, BW Legal misquoted one of their own legal references, and our solicitor corrected them in court exposing yet another flaw in their approach.
The Result: Claim Thrown Out and £550 Paid to the Defendant
The judge agreed with our arguments and dismissed the case completely. NCP was ordered to pay £550 in legal costs to Mrs. Downs.
She didn’t have to fight
She didn’t submit a defence
She didn’t even attend the hearing
Yet she won and got paid for her trouble.
Why It Matters
Private parking companies rely on confusion and technical silence. They hope you’ll panic, ignore the paperwork, or just pay up. But when you fight back the right way, they fall apart.
We’ve seen it again and again.
