Observices Parking Consultancy (OPC) Court Claim Form

  • That’s the problem. I have as much information as you have right now. 

    The PCN was for 3 years ago so I don’t have any idea how how much the original was or how they increased it to £190. 
    The reason I wanted my SAR was so I could go through the letters they sent and figure out how it went to £195 but as you saw they did declined my request. 

    I have attached a picture of the breakdown but I doubt that will be useful. 


  • The ukcpm defence was just a template, I did not change the numbers. Sorry about the confusion. 
    Here is the breakdown of figures on the court form: 
    Amount Claimed: £190.85
    Court Fee: £25
    Legal representative's costs: £50
    Total Amount: £265.85

    I dont see £190.85 listed there , nor the total claimed including the court fees etc
    I have already posted a breakdown, is that useful?

    So 
    £100 pcn
    £60 damages
    £30 or so interest 
    You work out the figures, given you know it's 8 percent interest and the date from and to.

    yes its useful because you keep revealing more information bit by bit , which is tiresome when you had all the info and could have just redacted the claim form and posted a picture of it

    but as Nosferatu says , you could easily work out how £160 morphed into £190.85 by working out the 8% interest , so we assume that is £30.85 ?

    you could ask your friend what the signs say at that private residence, or check google go back or similar to see if the signs said £100 , which is likely , or you can assume for now that the original pcn was £100 with £60 damages as detailed on the claim form , thereby confirming that the original pcn was £100

    this is all fairly simple maths and easy enough to work out what they have done if you put your mind to it (and the calculator on your mobile phone or tablet or computer

    so as I said , looking at the claim form it appears that the global figure is £160 , plus interest , plus court fees and legal fees
  • They changed the company who deals with the parking tickets 1-2 years ago so the signs are for the new company. It is a private road so no google map there. It is as you said, £100 original pcn with £60 damages + £30.85 interest

    read what coupon mad said yesterday in this thread about global sums for point 2


    that one was £80 + £60 = £140 (not £160)

    so there is your answer, plus the picture you posted earlier of the pcn + damages also said £160 which is the conclusion we have come to in dissecting your information and posts

    Hey @newbie202020
    Sorry to jump on your thread but I am having the exact same problems as you and today received this from OPC (attached). I also am going to reply as you have and report them.

  • @jeb0511 feel free mate. 

    This company is a joke. This is what he said after I said how will you use my photographic Id to identify me

    Good morning,

     Thank you for your last email. I can confirm that the photographic Identification is requested on this occasion as when there is doubt we request an unforgeable, legal identification document for proof of identity. As I have stated previously if you do not have a passport or drivers licence or feel uncomfortable supplying one then you should of course speak to the ICO and raise these concern and if they direct us to supply you your personal data without photo identification then of course we would.

     

    I hope this helps, however should you need any further help please do not hesitate in contacting me.

     

    Regards
