Have had a look on google - he was very well dressed and polite (the law) and fined the max (�70 by law) however he did not stick anything on the window. Not sure if he has to, think he does though.
Sorry to hear you were clamped. but i take it you were on private land without concent? well there are one or two things you should check.
Let me just tell you where i'm coming from first
I am a clamper ( i can feel you looking away) just stay with me this may help. As of march last year all clampers have to be licenced by the SIA a security body to web address will be added at the end.
this means that all clampers now need a licence that you can check and there is a five grand fine and or six mounth jail sectence if you are found to be clamping without a licence.
you can find out more on the web site ,the following must be on the signs by law if the clamping is to be done.The signs must be in plain sight, Thay must state that if you park there you will / risk / agree to be clamped. The signs must be in the locations at all times and not removed, the sign must give the name of the company and a land line number to call during office hours. and it MUST have the release FEE amount stated, also if the vehicle is lickley to be removed and any fee there. as for the clamping as soon as the clamp is fitted the notice must be fixed to the drivers door window ( removing this and saying it wasn't there wont work as a picture is taken once clamped and the notice fitted.)
did the clamper have a badge on display?
were you offered a recept?
you must ask at the time how to appeal to get an idea of what to do!
if the signs do move or he had no badge please report it to the SIA as it cost me �545.00 for my training and �190.00 a year to get my badge.
Hope this helps.... but if it dosent DONT PARK WHERE YOU SHOULDT!
Look at the link for more info and the reporting or unlicenced clampers.
