Just wondering, could that open the PCN’s up to being pursued again with the correct details? Is it better to just stick with Abuse of Power to avoid having to go through this for a second time?

That will be a decision for the PPC and just to advise that: -
1.  It is Abuse of Process
2.  Abuse of process is not a defence point, rather it is a way of limiting the cost to the original £100 (should the unthinkable happen and you lost), however it has caused several judges to strike out the whole claim.

Oops, that’s what I meant. They, of course, have no power. Have edited OP.

Could you please show us a breakdown of their claim

BellieBe

Yes- 

8 PCN’s ar 3 different MOTO/Roadchef, Standard £100 + £40 debt charge. (£1120)

Somehow they’ve turned that into
£1360 for PCN & damages? 

Plus interest= Amount claimed ~ £1900
Plus court/legal rep ~ £2100 Total

All “vehicle remained” reasons. 1 looks to me like a double dip (8 hrs). The rest are about an hour overstay.

So 8 x £100 = £800. So they have added an unlawful amount of £320  
How have they calculated the interest, at what rate over what period.
How much have they charged for the court fee and how much for legal costs

BellieBe

By my calculations on that £800 (using their same interest rate) Interest should be £329. 

Which means they are asking for an extra £600. 😬

£1,360 divided by 8 is £170; so they have probably added £70 for each PCN.

BellieBe

Yes but not sure why. On the original claims it says £40 for debt collection...

Classic case of changing numbers over time , the current figure tends to be £70 so castle seems to have found the reason , ipeven if it's not reasonable

Do not expect common sense or simple maths to prevail here , these people are numpties so treat them as such

Getting down to the nitty gritty and showing their incompetence should help you to win , or to reduce the sum awarded

Abuse of process is not a defence point to the 8 PCN,s

BellieBe

I’m confused as the abuse of process seems to be a large chunk of the defence template.
