:mad: do not mess with the internets hels28 clamping company! You'll simply be shown for what you are! The truth will out! Your company is a sham, hope you go out of business soon when people realise what scum clamping companies are :T0 -
Definitely if you consort with thuggish scum, what goes around comes around. When takings are down on the estate, the residents will soon find that their defenders are not who they thought they were. There are hundreds of posts on this and other forums from residents who have been the vitims of these knuckle dragging inbreds that were supposed to be protecting them from inconsiderate parkers.0

This private estate employing clampers must not have any public roads over which the public has a right to pass and repass. Which means it must be gated. Which means the problem as described makes no sense at all.0

I love the logic that the best way to deal with a car that is causing an obstruction is to immobilise it!0

Our clampers sit in wait for the driver to return who then has to cough up £100 in order to drive away. I agree that the logic is absurd - but I bet that car never returns don't you. We have to pay for the privilege of having clampers. As stated before, we don't want them - but we don't want all the hassle that comes without them. You people in favour of anti-clamping must be the people that park where you are told not to. If you can afford it - go ahead - but please stop complaining.0

And if I'm a clamper - please tell me what I'm doing in an office renewing aviation insurance certificates. I can't do both can I?0

So what would you suggest to stop people parking where they should not Brain of Britain! You must have a degree - but obviously are lacking in common sense which is not common - otherwise we would not have this forum would we?0

I live on an estate that has private clamping and it is an absolute nightmare. I can't get a permit because the Tenancy Agreement is in my WIFE'S name and the car is in mine, despite us both having the same surname. This means I have to park out on the road.
Ordinarily, this is fine but in the height of summer we get a lot of visitors to the park opposite, especially at weekends and sometimes there is a very real chllenge to find anywhere to park.
This would anger me somewhat except that I would park in someone else's street without a second thought to go and do my shopping and I would suggest that the OP is the same.
To suggest that a car owner doing exactly what she(?) would do should be damaged or clamped is mean spirited and a nasty narrow view of the world. How would people like it to happen to them?[strike]-£20,000[/strike] 0!0 -
Yes - It's better to have a sorry lot if we can't have an intelligent lot isn't it. Sorry for parking where you shouldn't - sorry you had to pay a fine. Sorry indeed. I feel sorry for you.0
