wheel clampers
V8MoneyPit:
Were there any clear signs around warning you that you would be clamped immediately if you went over time? And when I say 'clear' I mean 'clear', not some piddly little notice hidden round a corner or something. If there aren't any, you have every right to not pay, or get your money back.
As for the length of time over before being clamped, I would suggest you seek further advice as already suggested.
littlepow:
If it is a DVLA or Police clamp - then it is an offence to remove it, private clamping companies are a grey area.
But you maybe able to use the fact that the clamping company where heavy handed and by using the vehicle to block you in was a threatening act. If they push it, it could be worth getting a lawyer to wrrite them a letter requesting retribution payment for stress caused by the clampers to yourself. Not forgetting you where at the time also caring for a new born child.
Pretty much just make it look like it will cost them more to persue your bill than it is worth - all companies are motivated by their profits!

I dont remember clear signs but to be honest I was to busy talking to the police. he was a lagitamat clamper with his tag on his arm and was cheked by the police. not realy botherd about clamining the mony back just glad there was someone to help me back home with a credit card
what if I couldent pay ?? my car gets towed ?
if we all sat in the car with my baby could they still lift it ?
its outrageos and very stresful even more so when you genuinly havent got the mony
the list of resons you could be late back to your vehicle is endless
V8MoneyPit:
It's my understanding that they cannot lift the vehicle if it is occupied. However, the police asking you to leave the vehicle might persuade you!
Disco Matt:
I'm not sure the Police would want to get involved in that situation. Parking enforcement is a civil matter, it'd only be of any interest to them if any laws were being broken.
They are not allowed to lift an occupied vehicle, so jumping in is not a bad idea. Not quite as good as my one to buy a Scammell Constructor and then park where you like...
"Tow it away? There's an experiment I wouldn't want to miss!" :twisted:
