Can baliffs Clamp my van

[baker871]

Hi, Can someone please advise me, I have had my work van clamp by baliffs for a parking ticket, They can not tow the vehicle away because it is hp, but they have left it clamped, What can i do

Is this because multiple parking fines are unpaid? If so, the only thing to do is pay up.

Ring them and explain it is your works van, don't think they can stop you from working, but get it checked with local police.

Check that it is allowed for them to clamp a vehicle which is used for work purposes. Taxis are not allowed to be towed away for this reason, but Im unsure if this applies to commericial vehicles

In the meantime, deflate you tyre, jack up your van, now the clamp will be loose, remove it with ease, reinflate your tyre, let the vehicle down and off you go.

No criminal damage to the clamp because you havent needed to cut it off. Have know a few peeps to do this in the past!

You say it is hp. Do you mean it is on a Hire Purchase agreement? If so, it is not yours - it belongs to the finance company. You then have to show the HP agreement document to the bailiffs firm and they must remove the clamp because they have no right to take something which does not belong to you.
