My old man has just received a letter from excel parking saying his account has been passed to their legal team BW legal.
All future correspondence etc should be with BW etc etc
Thing is it dates back to 2012 and he has never written to them or communicated with them at any time. He remembers the advice at that time was to just ignore all the letters and they will go away, which they did (then!)

Any idea why this has just been restarted and what if anything he should do?
The BW legal letter that came in the same envelope says he has 16 days to pay £154. Made up of 100 PCN and 54 charges.
It says as he failed to pay or raise an appeal he has to pay within 16 days or they may refer for county court action.
Can they do this 4 yrs on and should he just ignore and go to court if it actually goes that far?there are literally no letters or info, nothing he just ignored the lot as he wasn't even sure it was him in the car at the time.

Not sure of exact date but it was early 2012. He went on Martin Lewis site lol and they said ignore it then :-)
Is this still the case then?

Good but does he need to respond at all to any of this new BW legal paperwork?

At least they didn't pretend yet it was two separate firms entirely, they at least shared the cost of an envelope and stamp for their two letters :-)
