    Check you tenancy agreement. Does it include a parking space? If so, then you are entitled to "peaceful enjoyment" of it, after all, you are paying for it in your rent.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Yes, bolt cutters or bump keys.
    eduit. You could use an angle grinder but they are a bit noisy.

    I always thought you could be done for criminal damage for removing a clamp this way?

    Why would a landlord kick out a tenant of a property if you pay your rent, and look after the place you are living in ? They are likely don't give a monkeys about this, and probably had some problem with these scammers previously! The parking company won't contact your landlord, I mean how would they get that info? So don't worry about losing your apartment.

    As for the scammers, basically ignore them utterly, and their fake letters, solicitors and debt collection agencies, you have saved them £2.50 by giving your address, which is a shame, don't fall for it, watch these videos and learn

    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    Cut the lock off, and go and buy a new one from B&Q and hand it in to a police station many hundreds of miles away if you can, but then, if it happened to me I would cut the clamp off and just leave it there and sod them!

    Thanks for that.

    It's never happened to me, but I could hand it in anywhere in the country (trucker by trade :) )

    Yes, it does my friend. It even has the plot number, P147, which is my parking space disc, on this folder I have with all the maintenance stuff in it.

    To be honest, I don't really know why they would, but as I've only just moved in, I didn't want to "upset" anything, so to speak. With them working together, (apparently), I didn't want to be seen as a trouble maker.

    Thanks for the link too.

    The only thing you'd upset is a bunch of chancers, there is no loss to the landowner, so as this has nothing to do with your landlord I wouldn't worry about it, just be a good tenant and that is it, a third party company can do nothing, just ensure your permit is on display and can't be shaken off a dashboard. Do any of the signs mention clamping at all ?

    To be honest, I've not even seen any signs. I'll have to have a look
