The cab also said it was a hotspot. Everynight they clamp between 3-4 cars on the same car park. Once he said 10 cars were clamped in one night. The cabs office is right oppisite the mini carpark. For those of you who dont know its were somerfield used to be as it is closed down now.

Can I fight back against these people. I coundn't help but pay the man said if I dont pay within 15 minutes they would tow my car away and the truck was waiting for me! 5 minutes after I had been clamped!

hm0 - is this your story or someone else's story from google?

Well - an update on my part (as this thread will be moved to the top), I am now waiting to hear on my appeal and am determined to take up to small claims court if needed.

The company only wants me to send an email via email and the signed for post has not been delivered yet (I posted and emailed on 14-July 2009)

From the pics before I wondered if they had just been "added overnight".  I think it may be worth checking with your local councel to see what you can find oit.

This company is obviously preuing on motorists and at 10:16pm is trally taking the pee.

They obviously dont want anything in writting.  Keep a diary of your actions for when you go to coart and explain the email.

Also write to watchdog as I reckpn there will allready be a big case file on this company.

Forgot to mention - story already on watchdog and thanks for reminding I need to add the bit about lack of postal delivery..

Local counsel says "then have nothing to do with this as it is a private road" and if you reckon the company is not acting fairly then we can't help either.

Makes me wonder, if there is someone (directly or indirectly) from the counsel on the board of this company. The double yellow lines where I parked are certaintly not required and the cousel roads which have those restrictions and cause actual issues no one is ever bothered...

Interesting point there regards the yellow lines.

If a private road then are yellow lines legal.

If private then what laws, rules and regualtions can be enforced.
Time to look into the law, also is it worth finding out if you can contact others and club together for solicitors advice (as they as so flipping exspensive)

Okay I just came back with video footage of the clampers in the same street at it again. They clamped another vehicle. The same people.

I called them up to verify the VI number, the man was roud (infact I should of recorded this for you guys). I said it must be on your database, he said im not your slave search google. So I got home and searched for veryfing VI numbers and I called him again and he said its my problem and hanged up!

I have a feeling this is a huge scam. Im going to the police station, maybe tomorrow and find out whether I can verify the VI number, The writing looks similar to the person who made this topics receipt.

I also noted there number plate down. They drove off when they saw me recording them. Im planning to catch them in the corner waiting for people to come. Also I live close so its easy for me.

I know this may not lead me anywere but its worth a try.
