5 Britannia Parking PCNs now with BW Legal, unsure what to do
next

Hi I'm looking for some advice on a parking ticket situation
that's now escalated to debt collection.
This all started in January in South England when I received 5
Parking Charge Notices from Britannia Parking in for alleged
overstays in a car park (night tariff after 8pm wasn't paid)
machine didn't allow you to go above 8pm and I assumed its free
after 8pm each time.
At the time I was only a named driver, not the registered
keeper, so all the PCNs were sent to my ex partner's old address
and we had no knowledge of them.
I only became aware of the issue later when a friend received a
PCN from the same car park and mentioned it to me as we both
parked there on one of the occasions.
On 5th of February I emailed Britannia asking if there were any
outstanding PCNs linked to the vehicle, but they couldn't
confirm anything at that stage because I wasn't the registered
keeper at the time.
By the time the PCNs were transferred into my name and receiving
copy of all tickets with my name on it, the matter had already
escalated.
Current situation:
3 PCNs are now with BW Legal (£170 each)
2 are still with Britannia Parking (£100 each)
I've contacted BW Legal asking for a lower payment plan due to
financial hardship, but this was refused. I also sent a hardship
email explaining my situation and the delay in me becoming aware
of the PCNs to Brittania and it was not taken into consideration
or wanting to negotiate.
I'm worried about if I have any realistic grounds to challenge
this due to the delay/address issue
Whether I'm now just exposed to court action / CCJ risk if I
don't pay and whether there's anything I can still do at this
stage other than negotiate payment.
Just trying to understand what my options are before this
escalates further.
Any advice appreciated.

So, the PPN`s were transferred into your name, so it is gathered
that the drivers ID has been given.
WE really need to see copies of the PPN`s and can you get photos
of the signage?
With this number of PPN`s and contacting BW Legal they will most
likely push this to a court claim.
