They do not charge a clamp release fee, but a fee of £120 for damages. Naughty.0

Looking at that image again it appears that I have misread it. The actual website is https://www.parking.vl-uk.com (note the full stop). That is valid and takes you to the "payment" page. Sorry about that!
One thing I have noticed about the credit-card payment page is that it is insecure (i.e. HTTP instead of HTTPS).What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
Hi,
I recently got onto trading standards, they told me to write an appeal and post it using special delivery, did this (after sending one via email to no response) Vibe leisure have returned the letter unopened and claiming on the front of the letter 'gone away'????
Also contacted SIA licencing they told me as I was unable to give the SIA licence no. and name of the individual who clamped me they are unable to tell me whether or not PCN-UK LTD, or Vibe Leisure Ltd are registered, (as it is the individual who requires the licence) could not give SIA licence no. as this is unreadable!
Ive also contacted Halo via email requesting the name of the landowner, as they dont answer their phones,
Do I need the name of the landowner before I draw up a Notice before Action? or do I send it to Halo?
Thanks0 -

Get the name of the landowner."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

Name of land owner can be obtained from land registry for a small fee. Trading standards and citizens advice are completely useless in situations like this usually.
Remind SIA that people directing clampers also need licenses (known as non-frontline) and that none of the directors of the company have any licenses.0 -
I wonder if she even knows she's the director, this Ashford seems a right w@nchor, or if she does knows about the illegal practices going on. Wouldn't put it past him to sling his hook once the !!!!!! hits the fan, leaving someone else (even his gf) with the tax man, trading standards, police, SIA, etc etc chasing them instead.0

Ash / Amy have a link on their website for credit focus which I assume they use.
Interestingly the service gives them the access to debt recovery letters but what interests me most is that it gives them the ability to view credit records. I do not know whether they check the people who they issue tickets to but if they do you have to wonder about the legality of it under the DPA...

Which goes to show, if the government were really interested in helping the motorist, that the SIA are a bunch off toothless numpties.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
Common Misconceptions:
Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted:
It is quite a common misconception that a land owner can or can have a trespasser prosecuted. Trespassers cannot be prosecuted, Trespass is a civil not criminal matter. Signs that read, “Private property – Trespassers will be prosecuted” are bluff and nothing else.
Trespassers can be forcibly ejected:
We have all heard the story of the old man carting children off his lawn by holding onto their ear! Although this may have been common practice some years ago, unfortunately this is no longer the case. While you are allowed to use reasonable force to eject a trespasser, the definitions for reasonable force are far from clear.
If as a land owner you do forcibly eject an individual or an individuals possessions or both you are leaving yourself liable for criminal proceedings for undue force and damage.
I’m Entitled To Compensation:
This is true; you are also entitled to compensation for the damage caused by chewing gum on the sole of your shoe. Seeking compensation for random trespass is in practice not worth the time. Try to calculate the actual loss incurred by a landowner; some grass seed, maybe the water to make said grass seed grow, raking of any gravel pathways that have been disturbed – as you can see, this will not total very much.
The Police will eject a trespasser for me:
Calling the police as a landowner is pointless. The police will occasionally attend trespass matters, however this is usually to ensure that the landowner only exercises reasonable force in the ejection of the trespasser and is therefore for the trespassers benefit, not the land owners.
There are a number of reasons for this:- As mentioned, it is a civil matter and is not a police officers duty
- In removing the trespasser they may injure them leading to a claim by the trespasser
- The trespasser may complain as the police have acted inappropriately (asserting state authority in a civil matter)
